Ahmad risked everything when, in 2010, the Afghan native signed up to interpret for the U.S. Army. More than a decade later, his parents and siblings are paying the price, forced into hiding for fear that the Taliban will find and kill them.
Hoping to flee the country, people gather outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan on Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, as a military cargo plane takes off.
Ahmad estimates he has called the U.S.-based company his brother-in-law worked for in Afghanistan more than 20 times asking for a recommendation letter he believes could help his sister’s husband secure a visa. When a woman in human resources collected his brother-in-law’s information and promised to reach out to him directly, he thought he might be getting somewhere. But it’s been eight months, Ahmad said, and still no word.
“My wife was really, really happy,” Ahmad said, laughing and almost shouting with enthusiasm on this point. “She was able to cook for so many people who enjoyed her food.” That was something of a dream come true for Hosna, who he said is eager to repeat the evening.
