by Scott Chapman and Russ Pritchard
Since the last military flight out of Kabul and the Khider District Massacre, both events occurring on 30 August 2021, Chapman and Pritchard penned countless anecdotes of Afghans in peril. A timeless work-in-progress to promote an era of Peace.
Flooded by requests from around the world, a unanimous message vocalized to the writing team of Chapman and Pritchard, is a fear-driven plea for help. Since the Fall of Kabul, many Afghans are tortured and killed by the Taliban. Hunting humans while using tools and tactics taught by us, the U.S. Entire families, 11+++, are forced to relocate every few days to stay ahead of the Taliban death squads.
We dedicate this endeavor to our allies of the Afghan Special Mission Wing (SMW). These brave men and women sacrificed all; yet no wrong is too far gone to make right again. A special message to Lt. Sabria Rezaie; I’m in awe of your resolve. Lt. Rezaie is the Lioness of Afghanistan.
The sole goal of the words written within are a writhing reminder what it feels like to feel again. Chapman and Pritchard earned impossible trust through honest intentions guided by an immovable moral compass.
The “Written in Taliban” series is a real-time intelligence report masquerading as fiction from the Taliban. Outside the box thinking from authors without borders. An endless thank you extends to Matthew Griffen for the opportunity to share the rage that’ll save us today.
Read part 1. “Written in Taliban”
Read part 2. “A Taliban Feast”
Read part 3. “Behind the Scenes”
The warnings above are a gentle and direct. Written within are secret sayings for those who see.
“…Part of the reason why men like me sacrifice ourselves for the Big Final Fight is to keep those horrors across the ocean; and out of sight. We deploy again and again for the innocent & beautiful to remain innocent & beautiful. The women who sit at home alone while their men go off and die; are equal parts courageous; as the men who fight.
It’s your innocence we work so hard to preserve and why we are so quiet about what we do. We men move mountains and fight Dragons for the women we love; and for the children we cherish…”
As an author who writes in real-time, I record notes and thoughts before they’re gone. The video posted below is a sliver of my Wednesday; just another day. Feel the Rage pierce from my eyes; mind not the horror; it’s only a carrier of my Love. This is what DETERMINATION looks like.
Determined to right a wrong that’s not too far gone. Say a prayer and ask for forgiveness, the bounty of incoming Love is endless.
Watch the video here.
Please visit the Afghan American Development Group. An honest non-profit; maybe sent by a Profit.
May the positive impact of our horror be felt around the world. Peace now.
Never underestimate the power of words.
ALWAYS HERE / NEVER QUIT.
Love wins.
