A group of Afghani civilians who worked with the the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team in Bamyan Province is desperate to be evacuated. He made the dangerous 181km journey from Bamyan to Kabul, arriving just before the Taliban took control of the capital city overnight on Monday (NZT). About 20 of the 37 people who worked with the New Zealand team were hiding in the mountains outside Bamyan, he said.
