Family Statement
Imran’s family, also in Afghanistan, managed to get on to an evacuation flight on Friday.
While he is relieved, he says that the happiest time of his life has been the saddest.
“I don’t have this happiness to celebrate or to dare dream that you know my life is going to change,” he explained.
“I’m going to have my kids with me after ten days after their quarantining is over, but I cannot feel it.
“I cannot feel it because Mohammad is no longer here.”
Friend Statement
His friend, Imran Naizi, said Mohammad was “desperate” to help his family and believed he was “one of the lucky ones” when he managed to get a ticket to fly out.
“He was that excited to help bring his family home,” Imran told me.
“He was very, very desperate. To be that desperate to travel to Azerbaijan, from Azerbaijan to Kabul… it’s almost three days/four days journey.
“You can imagine, to go past all those Taliban checkpoints, you can tell how desperate he was.”
Imran says Mohammad told him he would phone him when he got to Afghanistan, but “he never did, and it’s ended with this. It’s unbelievable”.
He shared a home with Mohammad and took him to the airport to catch his flight.
“My heart is in pieces; there are no words,” he said.

“He worked 16 or 17 hours a day as a taxi driver to give them a better life. He was so happy whenever he saved up to buy new clothes and toys. Everything was for the benefit of his kids to give them the best life ever.
“We’ve known each other for 14 years. He was like my brother rather than my friend.”
