People associated with several different NGOs (non-governmental organizations) claimed that flights have been unable to fly out of Mazar-i-Sharif because of approval issues involving the US government and the Taliban, which now controls Afghanistan. #Afghanistan
Marina LeGree, the founder of an American NGO that empowers girls and young women through physical training, said 600-1,300 people had been waiting for a week. "It's been seven days and nothing's moving," she said adding further, "The Taliban is simply not letting anything move."
