What It’s Like To Escape The Taliban
What happens after the men with guns who run your country take aim at you? Last year reporter Molly Thomas traveled to Pakistan for Canadaland to file a series of reports on one of the world's biggest refugee crises. There are currently somewhere between 1.5 and 3 million Afghans who have fled the Taliban and who are now stuck in limbo in Pakistan. Many have been trying to get to Canada.Molly's series was called Dear Taliban and one of her stories featured a young woman who called herself Haya.Haya and her family fled from Kabul to Pakistan where they found themselves stranded and that's where her story ended for us. That was until we heard that Haya had finally made it out and reached CanadaJournalists rarely get this kind of opportunity to follow up on a story that happened halfway around the world.
