A dual Afghan-Ukrainian citizen, who was an activist and worked at the Afghan Education Ministry in Kabul, describes how he managed to get out of Afghanistan after being hunted by Taliban fighters who he said wanted to “punish” or kill him. Speaking to RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service on August 26 after being evacuated to Kyiv, the man used the pseudonym, “Tolik,” and concealed his identity for security reasons.
