Former Afghan women's soccer captain describes 'nightmare' Taliban rule after escape: 'They are traumatized'
Fox News
Former Afghan women's soccer team captain Khalida Popal joined 'FOx & Friends First' to describe the 'nightmare' trying to flee Taliban rule after the team's successful escape to the United Kingdom.
Popal joined "Fox & Friends First" on Thursday to discuss her role in helping the players, some family members, and coaches flee from the war-torn country following the U.S. exit.
"It was a nightmare that we had to leave everything and escape and hide," Popal explained. "Some of their families were brutally beaten, some of the family members were taken by Taliban, their house[s] were bombed down, so they have been through a lot. They are traumatized."
The U.S. withdrew its forces back in August, and although the Taliban assured the international community it would govern with civility and respect for basic human rights, reports have surfaced suggesting the opposite.
