The Afghans turning to people smugglers to flee their country – BBC News

Near the Pakistan border thousands of Afghans are turning to people smugglers to escape Afghanistan and its new Taliban government.

People traffickers have always operated on this border but where they once bribed corrupt officials to let them through they now pay a fee to the Taliban government

Most are young men with no passport or visa who hope to go from Pakistan on to Iran and from there to Turkey or other countries to find work.

But there are also families hoping to leave Afghanistan. Many worked for the previous government and were civil servants, teachers or soldiers. They say they have no choice but to leave with the Taliban in power.
