A former English teacher and his wife have escaped Kabul where they narrowly avoided being killed in the bomb blast
‘We had to walk into the dirty water; it was full of people and we were exhausted and as we reached the end my wife was crying because of the crowd and the situation,’ Kabir said. ‘We had been standing where the bomb went off only a few seconds before. Fortunately we were able to stay in Camp Baron for the night.‘It was amazing how the soldiers reacted, by the end of the night, which I think was around 10pm, they were checking documents again and again.’
Originally from north-western Herat Province, he worked in Kabul as a ‘master trainer’ at the former Ministry of Education, teaching its employees English and the related skills to spread the language in their roles. British and US Armed Forces work in stressful conditions at Kabul airport on August 21 as they combine on the evacuation effort
