*The Taliban are "intensifying the hunt-down" of individuals who worked with the Afghan government and its allied forces, conducting "targeted door-to-door visits" and arresting or threatening family members of "target individuals" unless they surrender, according to a confidential UN document.

Hello Demetrios, oh I sense that the numbers are high enough numbers for the people that want to leave the country to a safer place. Blessings my friend.

I think at least half the country would love to leave, Afghanistan, my dearest friend, Darlene. I pray the number to be high enough. Thank you!

Terror in flesh Demetrios! Well spoken. The acrostic form is just perfect for punctuating their disingenuous lying actions. I feel so helpless in the smiling face of such evil. Then I realize the only thing, and the best thing, I can do is pray for all involved in this living tragedy. So, I pray. Blessings dear friend. Thank you for your courageous words.

Sam, my good friend, thank you for your appreciation. Humanity is just watching, for how long? No one knows. I am afraid I will not be alive when things change again. Blessings.

Dispite all their denials that no one would be persecuted its happening on a large scale. I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of their mouths. Tom
