In the midst of it, a heartbreaking video of an Afghan girl talking about how the world abandoned her country is going viral on the internet. In the video posted to Twitter by Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad, this young girl can be seen in floods of tears as she thinks about the situation.
Looking directly at the camera, she says: "We don't count because we were born in Afghanistan. "I cannot help crying. I have to wipe my tears to be able to make this video. No one cares about us. We'll die slowly in history. Isn't it funny?"
The journalist captioned the post saying, "Tears of a hopeless Afghan girl whose future is getting shattered as the Taliban advance in the country. My heart breaks for women of Afghanistan. The world has failed them. History will write this."
"We don't count because we're from Afghanistan. We'll die slowly in history"

Since the footage was posted on social media, it has really struck a chord with some, who have said they are utterly shocked at what they are witnessing. Many even sympathised with the women and the country of Afghanistan.
What is happening in Afghanistan is one of the biggest tragedies facing the world right now. Why are we not all united in confronting this gross violation of human rights and violence against women and girls?

Under the Taliban, virtually the entire female population will qualify for asylum.

You do count. Your lives matter. Words can¡¯t adequately express how helpless so many of us feel, that the UN isn¡¯t sending peace-keeping troops & our governments aren¡¯t sending emergency troops to help you & your people. Our prayers for you all are joined with your prayers now.??

My heart breaks for these women. Why isn't the Afghanistan Government sticking up for them and doing something to help them? The outrage needs to be directed at the government who could save them and arent. They are watching and letting this happen.

Send back our military to transport these women and children and those most vulnerable to safer countries for asylum.

I care about the fate of this girl and her countrymen. That is why I am responding to this post. The problem is that we have to replace the soulless bureaucracy with something more human. Then no one else will have to record such heartbreaking videos

This video comes as the Taliban cemented its control of Afghanistan, with President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country.
Ghani released a message to Afghanis explaining why he left the country before militants could seize control of the Presidential Palace. The world leader explained he faced a 'hard decision' between an 'armed Taliban' and 'leaving the dear country that I dedicated my life to protecting the past 20 years'.
He said: "If left unchecked, countless patriots would be martyred and the city of Kabul would be devastated, resulting in a major humanitarian catastrophe in the six-million-strong city."
