Zakia Koudadadi, the Afghan Paralympic whose participation in the Games was prevented by the Taliban invasion of Kabul, is safely in the hands of the Australians. The athlete would compete in taekwondo. This was stated in a note by Aips, the world association of sports press, which takes up a breaking latest news of the Sidney Abc site. Zakia made an appeal to the international community through ANSA on August 17, her words were relaunched the next day by the New York Times becoming an international case. Australia has granted a visa to her and a group of other sportsmen, mostly women, now safe and perhaps already in flight after entering Kabul airport.
