Zekria is willing to pay $25,000 to an agent to make a visa application to a European country on his behalf. If this visa is not granted, he will be stranded in Kabul facing the likely option to escape through people smuggling networks.

Fearing what will happen when the foreign forces withdraw, he secretly plans his own escape from Afghanistan. Written by Elissa Sylvia Mirzaei See less
