A former Afghan national youth soccer team player died in the landing gear of a US Air Force plane that hastily took off from Kabul airport amid a desperate rush by people to flee from the Taliban-controlled country.
The remains of 19-year-old Zaki Anwari were discovered when the C-17 Globemaster landed in Qatar, according to East2West News, citing local reports.
“Very sad to hear that one of the youths who tried to leave #Kabul through grabbing the landing gear bay of a #USAF’s C-17A transport airplane few days ago was a player of #Afghanistan’s National youth soccer team, Zaki Anwari,” journalist Babak Taghvaee said in a tweet.
“His body parts were found in the landing gear bay,” added Taghvaee, who previously reported that the presence of stowaways in the landing gear forced the crew to divert to Qatar for an “emergency landing.”
In his final Facebook post, Zaki Anwari wrote about being the master of his own destiny.
“You’re the painter of your live [sic] Don’t give the paint brush to anyone else,” he reportedly wrote.
The former athlete had lived in Kabul, where he attended the Franco-Afghan Esteghlal High School, East2West reported, citing the young man’s social media. At age 16, he played for the country’s youth soccer team.
Anwari’s friends reacted to news of his death by posting messages on social media.
“We are from God and we return to him,” one person wrote.
Another message read: “Comrade, with whom I had the most and most unforgettable memories, his loss is a great sorrow for me and unspeakable.”
The Khorasan Lions, the Afghan national soccer team, announced the young man’s death on its Facebook page.
“Two days before and after the capture of Kabul by the Taliban, to go to America and find a better future, he rode on the wheels of the American airplane with several other compatriots who fell to the ground while flying with several other compatriots,” according to a translation of the team’s post.
So… I guess idiot Biden misspoke, eh? “No one’s being killed”?
Very sad to say, but in the world where Biden and these Democrats hold power, Anwari is one of the lucky ones. Thousands and thousands of Afghanis are going to be tortured, raped and murdered. Many are going to have to watch their loved ones tortured, raped and murdered before THEY suffer the same fate. This is the kind of “security” that abject weakness and stupidity provides.
China will control the vast majority of the world’s rare earth minerals. Russia is telling the US where they can and cannot establish security bases. Iran will have nuclear weapons soon. Kim will soon be trying to do something to draw all the attention back to him. All because the nation stood by while Democrats fraudulently stole an election, pushed a strong, determined, America-loving, capable LEADER out of office and replaced him with a worthless, corrupt, incompetent puppet.
