Afghanistan people queing up in front of passport office amid rise of violence, Taliban atrocities
Kabul: Thousands of people in Afghanistan are aiming to move out of the war-torn country as long queues could be seen in front of the passport offices.
With the Taliban making huge advances in the countryside as foreign forces wind up their withdrawal, many Afghans — those with the means, at least — are looking for a way out, reports AFP.
“If the situation worsens, we might have to leave,”Nabyar, 52, who feels particularly vulnerable because he once ran a shop on a Nato military base, told the French news agency.
“People want to be prepared in advance in case things go wrong,” added Nabyar.
Dozens begin lining up at the passport office in Kabul before dawn most days, and by eight in the morning the queue already stretches for a good hundred metres, reports AFP.
Afghanistan is witnessing a rise in violence in recent times as foreign forces are slowly moving out of the country.
