New Delhi: After the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan on August 15, the country has plunged into utter chaos with hundreds of thousands of Afghans willing to flee their own country, anticipating an atrocious and barbaric Taliban regime.
The heart-rending images of Kabul airport, with Afghanis clinging onto the plane for fleeing the country, have become the defining image of Afghanistan.
However, it’s not just Kabul airport where people have amassed for leaving the country. A video of the Spin Boldak border, located at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border is doing the rounds on social media where thousands of local Afghans could be seen waiting to leave the war-torn country.
Natiq Malikzada, a freelance journalist and human rights activist, has posted a video in which thousands could be seen squatting with their belongings and waiting for their turn to cross the borders.
This is not #Kabulairport, this is Spin Boldak border where thousands of people wants to flee Afghanistan to Pakistan. The situation here is far worse than the situation at #KabulAirport but because there are no foreign forces here, it has not been covered by the media. pic.twitter.com/LrUuXk1JSv

He says the situation is far more worse than Kabul airport but since there are no foreign troops here, it’s not getting media attention.
After Kabul fell to despotic Talibani rule, disturbing images and videos are emerging from the violence-torn country, where people could be desperately seen trying to escape the country.
In a heart-wrenching incident, a day after Talibani takeover, few men who clung onto the wheels of a US military plane, fell off mid-air to the death from the sky. The incident was a testimony of the terrible circumstances that prevails in the country, after Talibani takeover, which promises ‘civil liberties for everyone but under the Shariat law’.
