Afghanistan: Christians flee from cities
Iain Taylor, Release International
The latest reports from Afghanistan reveal
that Christians have been fleeing
the
cities, moving to remote areas to escape
the Taliban. Many Christians who remain
are trapped inside the country, unable to
leave via its now-sealed borders. Some have
received death threats.
Although many Christians managed
to
get out ahead of the Taliban advance, there
are still thought to be several thousand in
Afghanistan. Even if they wanted to leave
they could not, as the borders are strictly
controlled by the Taliban.
