Description

An Afghan man who had saved US President Joe Biden in 2008, then a senator, when he was stranded in a remote Afghan valley after a snowstorm, is seeking his help to flee Afghanistan which is now under the Taliban rule. In a message for Mr Biden, the interpreter, identified only by his first name Mohammed, said: “Hello Mr President: Save me and my family. Don’t forget me here,” reported The Wall Street Journal. The interpreter has been left behind in Kabul even after days of intense rescue operation to evacuate US citizens, their allies and Afghan civilians. Mohammed, his wife, and their four children could not board the US military aircraft leaving Kabul International airport last month. Thirteen years ago, he had worked as an interpreter with the US Army which had rushed to help the three senators — Mr. Biden, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel — who were stranded after their helicopter force-landed due to heavy snowstorm in the region. Then 36-year-old Mohammed joined the US army motorcade which safely evacuated the three key US senators and braved more than 100 firefights do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers
