Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – August 21, 2021 – Art and Celebrities
4.6 million users have already subscribed to the star. The celebrity dedicated her first post to the situation in Afghanistan, publishing a letter from an Afghan girl.
The author of the letter 20 years ago had to flee from the Taliban, which seized the country in 2001, and she is “sad to see” new queues of refugees. The text also refers to the persecution of Afghans abroad.
Jolie explained that just now Afghans are being deprived of the right to access the Internet and freedom of speech is being suppressed, so the Americans came to the social network to “become their voices.”
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan
On August 15, the Taliban announced the seizure of the entire territory of Afghanistan, including the capital – Kabul.
Afghan Interior Minister Abdul Satar Mirzakwal said in a video message that the capital would be handed over to the Taliban peacefully.
It has also become known that Taliban representatives will discuss preparations for a change of government at the presidential palace in Kabul. Also on August 15, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani resigned and flew to Tajikistan. On August 18, it became known that Ghana and his family are in the United Arab Emirates.
On August 19, the Taliban proclaimed a new state in its territory, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Taliban officials have announced a general amnesty in the country and said they intend to maintain peaceful relations with all countries. They also promised that women would be given rights, but “within the framework of Islam.” However, the Taliban’s rise to power provoked panic and the flight of people from the country.
Many remember the brutal rule of the Taliban in the 1990s when society was subject to an extremely harsh Sharia regime.
Ukraine evacuated 79 citizens from Afghanistan from six countries – Ukraine, Afghanistan, Belarus, the Netherlands, Croatia, and Tajikistan.
As of the evening of August 17, 153 Ukrainian citizens of Ukrainian descent wanted to leave Afghanistan. On August 18, a plane to evacuate Ukrainians from Afghanistan was unable to land in Kabul.
There is currently no secure corridor for access to Kabul Airport, where the situation remains partially out of control.
