Voices of Afghanistan: Siyar’s story

Voices of Afghanistan: Siyar’s story

Siyar Sirat is an Afghan journalist based in Kabul at TOLO news. After an “unimaginable” five days of waiting, Siyar and his family had just made it through the gates and into Kabul airport when he spoke to 5 Live’s Tony Livesey.

Siyar describes the pain of having to leave his extended family and colleagues behind, and the ordeal his family faced trying to get to the airport to escape.

This interview was originally broadcast on 5 Live Drive and is part of the 'Voices of Afghanistan' mini-series.
