'The Taliban controls everything. They control passports. They control free speech, women's rights.'
It's been almost two years since the U.S. left Afghanistan and one Afghan family living in Chicago has been torn apart, for just as long.
Now months later, mom and dad, whose identities we're keeping hidden for the safety of their children sat down with CBS 2. Though an interpreter, they discussed a path beyond that horrible day."We saw the video, the plane, taking off people running after the plane. And it felt heavy from hundreds of thousands of miles away, but being there what is the thing that sticks the most"
Jen Durham, a volunteer with the organization Refugee Community Connection, has been helping the family apply and settle in Chicago.
