Why did Farah Ahmedi go to Pakistan?

Answer 1

A rocket had fallen into their home, killing her father and sisters. Leaving only her mother, two brothers and herself in a destroyed home. The Talibans

took control of her native Kabul just days after the destruction of their home. When the Talibans

took over they implemented strict regulations, such as women not being allowed on the streets without men escorts, amongst other strict rules everyone had to abide by. The Taliban also made an announcement, about a month after the tragic incident that they were going to recruit young men to join their army. Farah's family and the neighbor's family, all "Hazaras",

decided it was better for their young men to flee to Pakistan, as the Taliban had a hatred toward "Hazaras"

(which all those young men were) and would probably end up being executed. Without male escorts, among other hardships, life would be impossible to maneuver around the Taliban. Therefore, fleeing to Quetta,

Pakistan, where a cousin of Farah's mother, lived was the best choice in search of a somewhat better life.
