Actress Angelina Jolie opened her Instagram account yesterday and her first post was to release a letter from a girl from Afghanistan, who tells the situation she is going through due to the recent return of the Taliban to power in the Asian country.” This is a letter sent to me by a teenage girl in Afghanistan,” the actress, who is an ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), wrote on her account. “Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing the ability to communicate on social media and express themselves freely. So I came to Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those around the world fighting for their basic human rights,” Jolie continued in the description of the post, which features a photo of the letter and another of several Afghan women.

The interpreter added: “It is disgusting to see Afghans being displaced once again by the fear and uncertainty that have gripped their country. Spending so much time and money, shedding blood and losing lives just to get to this, is an almost impossible failure to understand.” As for the letter That Jolie received from the young Afghan, it emphasizes that before the arrival of the Taliban, women like her could study and work. “We all had rights and were able to defend our rights freely, but now we are afraid and believe that all our dreams are over,” the author of the text wrote. Like others who are committed, I will not depart. I will continue to look for ways to help. And I hope you join me,” the actress closed in her post, which has more than two million likes.
