TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -Fatima Jaghoori fears her family in Afghanistan is in jeopardy, her cousins and uncles are trying to get out, one of them is a musician.
“He tells me the Taliban do not like music, they are going inside of houses and pulling out musicians and musicians are burning their instruments and artists are having to burn their paintings because they are terrified of what is going to come,” she said.
Fatima understands the fear, her family already is among the Taliban’s victims.
“My father was killed by the Taliban while they were uprising to become what they are now because that is when they started to take hostages and my father was not about that,” Jaghoori said.
Fatima, 32, came to the United States in 1999. Jaghoori says, Sen. Jerry Moran’s office has been assisting her through the process of getting her family to the U.S. but, unfortunately, time is not on their side.
