SOUNDBITES OF AHMAD RASHAD, STUDENT.TRANSLATIONS: “I am Ahmad Rashid, an eleventh-grade student at the school, for the past eight years we have been working to sell old American products and materials, which are coming out of the Bagram base. Our sales decreased significantly since the US forces began to withdraw. In the past, we had between 60,000 and 70,000 Afs sales per day, but now even we can't sell things worth 500 Afs per day ... In the last few months, (US forces) were destroying materials and goods before sending them out of the base.Now we also have a threat from the Taliban in the area, the Taliban have almost already infiltrated the nearby villages and the security is not good in the area.We don't know what to do after this, should we leave the country or not? Because the government's situation is not good either.
