Afghanistan: Journalist loses job as Taliban captures country, now makes bricks to feed family

| @indiablooms | 03 Oct 2021, 12:09 am

An Afghanistan journalist is now forced to make bricks to feed his ten-member family after he lost his job as the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

Zabiullah was a local reporter for the Khaama Press News Agency and other media outlets in the western Ferz Koh city of Badghis province who has lost his job as a journalist and is now making bricks as a labourer to feed his ten-member family.

The journalist, who was promising in his field,  was laid off and left unemployed due to the financial drawbacks of the local media.

“After the Taliban takeover, local media outlets laid me off and it has been two months for me to be wandering without a job. To feed my family I decided to join my father in making construction bricks.” Wafa told Khaama Press.

Wafa says that hundreds of Afghan journalists are living the same limbo and asked the international community to stand by them and help them in this dire situation.
