EXCLUSIVE: 'A Little Girl is Dead because the world turned away from us': The Afghan girl, 14, who was Trampled To Death in Stampede at Kabul airport as she tried to reach evacuation flight

The family of a 14-year-old girl killed in a stampede at Kabul Airport have released this shocking photograph of her shrouded body to draw attention to the plight of the Afghans desperate to leave the country.

High school student Marzia Rahmati dreamt of a new life outside Afghanistan with her parents and younger siblings and the family had secured visas to travel to nearby Tajikistan, where they had relatives.

Marzia is believed to be one of the youngest of the 12 victims who have died in the disorder at Kabul Airport since the Taliban took over.

But when the crowd panicked at the sound of gunfire on Monday, just hours after the Taliban seized Kabul, Marzia became separated from her parents and fell to the ground, suffering multiple internal injuries as she was trampled to death.

Pentagon pressed on why British Paratroopers Leaving Kabul Airport To Rescue Citizens But Americans Aren't

The Pentagon was pressed Thursday to explain why the U.S. isn't rescuing Americans outside of the Kabul airport as the British are doing for their citizens.

At a press briefing, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin said: "General Taylor, British paratroopers are leaving the airport, going into Kabul to rescue and evacuate some of their citizens who are trapped [and] can't get to the airport because of the Taliban."

"Why isn't the U.S. doing that?" she asked.

"At this time, our main mission continues to be to secure HKIA, to allow those American citizens and other SIVs to come in and be processed at the airfield."

China has to be licking its chops. Afghanistan may have the largest reserves of cobalt and lithium in the world which are critical for EV's. If they can make inroads and catch a piece of that production they could throttle the global EV market. We could find ourselves in a position where the government has mandated stark EV changes by 20XX and it just so happens the country that controls the majority of the raw materials needed to do that is Chyna.

I agree with both you and Hogg but this has long long lasting effects and the need off this fast and completely. Think he gets pulled and Harris comes in lame duck.

I just don’t see how he stays. This is the biggest F up I have seen in my 45 years. This makes weapons of mass destruction hoax look like a blip.

He'll stay. MSM will let it run another cycle of two and it will be back page.

Taliban will hold foreigners hostage (not overtly of course) and Biden will pay them off to let them go.

EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol asking Overwhelmed Agents about Helping Process Afghan refugees

The U.S. Border Patrol is asking agents about volunteering to deploy to Afghanistan and nearby countries to process Afghan citizens seeking admission to the United States, three agents told the Washington Examiner.

The move is in direct response to the worsening situation in Afghanistan, where President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw U.S. troops was met with chaos as the Taliban took control of the country. Thousands of Americans remain inside, as well as tens of thousands of Afghans who helped the U.S. during the war.

Three agents, including some assigned to the southern border, told the Washington Examiner that Border Patrol supervisors began inquiring with agents this week about going overseas for 30 to 90 days. Some agents were sent emails while others were asked during daily meetings that take place before shifts commence.

Not at all. I think a bonus would be getting their hands on any military tech we left behind. I'm sure they'd be happy to maintain it for the new government.

The only sticky point I see is how rough the CCP is on fervent religion, perhaps they paint the Uighurs as western collaborators or something.

I'll just leave this piece of brilliance from the former guy here.

Evidently, he thinks we should have destroyed our bases BEFORE pulling the troops out. I guess they would have just gone to Airbnb's in Kabul before they came back home?

You seem to know a lot of Latin, what's the phrase for "did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?"

Great photo. I feel like that phone rings too loudly and all hell breaks loose at some point in the next few minutes. Also, also almost confirmed my theory Afghan men either 5'2 or 6'7, no in-between. Guy on the right ruined it.

Same phone I have on my desk.

The guy on the right is probably standing on the shoulders of a child/love slave.

Me too. Ive read it more than a few times. I don’t know how it hasn’t been turned into a movie yet. I looked it up a long time ago and it looks like somebody owns the rights to the screenplay and has it sitting in a drawer somewhere.

There are some excellent books that would make great movies, but Hollywood screws most of them up. Sometimes it's not all their fault because there's just so much of a good book that you can cram into a couple of hours without losing context. The thing that absolutely bends me out of shape is miscasting characters to keep up with the woke agenda or quotas and to make sure guys like Tom Cruise etc keep making millions. Several of DeMille's books are worthy of miniseries.
