Female Afghan robotics team fled Taliban to continue 'achievements,' 'dreams'

's takeover in Afghanistan to continue their"achievements" and"dreams," one of its members told the Associated Press.

"The reason that we left was that we didn't want our history to be ended by Taliban," said 17-year-old Saghar, who did not want to use her last name to protect her family still in Afghanistan."We wanted to continue the path that we started to continue to go for our achievements and to go for having our dreams through reality. So that's why we decided to leave Afghanistan and go for somewhere safe.

The team fled Afghanistan after the takeover of the country earlier this month by the Taliban, who have been hostile to women working or going to school after a certain age. The young women have embroidered team uniforms. Their very success made it dangerous for them in Afghanistan.

Newsweek should be cautious, because Afghanistan critic is exploited not only by Iranian propaganda. The US is now also blamed, that Afghanian refugees are also in Iran. So, you should firstly ask, if a critic implies also an reflexive view of things, which propaganda never do.

I am happy to hear they made it out. Praying for all innocents still in Afghanistan 💔🙏💔
