Afghan woman begs for help from troops, crying, ‘Taliban is coming’



A crying Afghan woman has been filmed begging for help through a fence, shouting, “The Taliban is coming,” as US troops were swarmed by crowds of desperate people trying to flee the extremists’ rule, heartbreaking new videos show.

Videos circulating on social media have captured the chaotic scenes in Kabul as US troops continue to evacuate after the Taliban regained control of the war-torn country.

In one video, a young woman cried as she reached through a fence covered in razor wire toward US troops on the other side.

Another shows hundreds of people holding up papers as they pushed toward troops.
