Afghan Native in BC desperate to get family out of Afghanistan after more attacks

An Afghan native now living in Surrey is calling today’s attacks at the Kabul airport devastating and horrific. 

Jamshid Arefi says the attacks have made him even more desperate to get his mother and three siblings out of the country.   

 Arefi — who runs the “Afghan in Vancouver” Facebook page — says they are all human rights advocates at risk if their hiding place is discovered by the Taliban. 

He says the Canadian evacuation operation has moved too slowly and he’s also critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for thrusting Canadians into an election campaign during this crisis.
