I’m now hearing reports that plane load of Americans and Afghan Allies are being hold hostage in Mazar-i-Sharif airport in Northern Afghanistan…by the Taliban.
It hasn’t yet been confirmed whether or not there were Americans on the plane. Also they aren’t being held hostage. They checked into a hotel waiting to see if they’ll be allowed to leave.
They might not be allowed to leave because they don’t have passports nor the right paperwork. That is not being held hostage. The same thing happens in the US if one doesn’t have a passport and tries to leave the country
How is what the Taliban doing with Afghan citizens any different than the US government not allowing US citizens out of this country without a passport?
