We hear from Afghans who managed to flee their country and escape the Taliban

We hear from Afghans who managed to flee their country and escape the Taliban.

Ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks we hear the voices of Afghans, including a conversation between two people who managed to flee before the US pullout, someone who is organising aid to new refugees and someone who explains why they are happy that the Taliban are now in charge again.
 
We also hear the story of a New Yorker who experienced the 11 September 2001 terror attacks first hand and went on to serve with US forces on two tours of Afghanistan.
