Afghan interpreter who volunteered with Kiwi troops: NZ is leaving me to face death
6 minutes to read An Afghan interpreter who volunteered at an NZDF base and now fears for his life, with the Taliban threatening to behead him for his work with infidels , has failed in his latest bid for residency in New Zealand.
With the final Kiwi troops pulling out of Afghanistan over the next few weeks, a terrified Nowroz Ali says if he is killed, the New Zealand Government will have blood on its hands.
Kiwi and American soldiers remember Ali as a smiling, trusted face.
He volunteered to help at the front gate of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team (NZ PRT) base in Afghanistan s Bamiyan Province in 2010.
