Taliban Won’t Allow Afghans to Leave Country

“The Taliban said Tuesday that the group will not allow Afghan nationals to leave the country, a development that comes one week before U.S. and coalition forces are slated to depart Afghanistan,” CNBC reports.

Said a spokesman: “The way to the airport has been closed now. Afghans are not allowed to go there now, foreigners are allowed to go but we have stopped Afghan nationals to go because the crowd is more, there is danger that people will lose their lives, there might be a stampede.”
