Family of youngest woman elected to Kandahar City Council escapes after Taliban takeover

An Afghan Woman tells her story amid the Taliban takeover.
Sarina Faizy, 23, just graduated from William & Mary with a master's in international law, and she said she'd hoped to celebrate with her family -- instead she's struggling to stay in contact with them. Her family, including her six sisters, had been in hiding, looking for a way out of Afghanistan as President Joe Biden's Aug. 31 deadline drew closer. "They're depressed, and they have a trauma, all Afghan people do," Faizy told ABC News on Monday. "Right now, they're kind of stuck in one place, and they don't know what is going to happen next to them because of the Taliban." That was shortly before they escaped to Canada, mere days before a terror attack killed at least 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghans near the airport in Kabul.More Related News
