This is Samira Khogani (she now goes by Sam). In her native Pashto her name means Early Morning Fragrance or Is Good with Words or Entertaining Companion. We met downtown for tea (Sam doesn't drink coffee) she got Misty Mint, I got Early Gray and she told me her story: Sam comes from a very conservative family from the very conservative Panjwayi district and many of her uncles and cousins (of which she has plenty) are close to Abdul Hakim Ishaqzai. At a family function, a while back, Samira was alone on the terrace with her cousin Taahir who asked her to lift her hijab a little so he could see her hair. Samira giggled and showed off a lock of raven-black. At another family reunion Taahir (by now with an important job with the group) told her a that he thinks of her while he masturbates. 
The next day Taahir received a message with an audio attachment where he could be heard saying that he thinks of Samira while masturbating and you could hear Samira giggle.
The next day Samira was stopped on her way to the market by men in a black Suzuki Tactical who confiscated her mobile phone.
The next day Taahir received another message with an audio attachment where he
could be heard saying that he thinks of Samira while masturbating and you could hear Samira giggle.
The next day Taahir called and asked Samira what she wanted. She said she wanted a passport with a visa for Canada, an airplane ticket to Toronto and some money.
The next day men in a black Suzuki Tactical came to Samira's house with a large envelope and took her to the Kabul Airport.
Sam now runs a successful downtown Kosher Dry Cleaner and is enrolled at the U of T in Sociology and Women and Gender Studies. She told me to use her real name, this the real Sam, yeah?!
A funny story, which reminds me to similar stories happened to me! Since I’m not such a versatile blogger like the author of this blog, I prefer to read this good blog👍😍
ReplyDeleteHow modern technology (recording a conversation on your cells) can help you get out of a country with passport, visa and money. But you need to be smart and know that the powerful man talking to you is a kinky sexually frustrated person ( of those are many!) . Go Sam go! I for one applaud you.
