TORONTO With Taliban insurgents making rapid territorial gains across Afghanistan in recent weeks, chilling new audio from a local interpreter who worked with the Canadian Forces illustrates how much danger he and others like him are facing in their own country. In an audio file posted on YouTube, one interpreter located in Helmund province tells how he and others risked their lives alongside Canadian soldiers to support the mission against the Taliban from 2010 to 2011. He now asks why Ottawa and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are not moving more quickly to get his family to safety. “Mr. Trudeau, I am a father. My daughter is a year-and-a-half old. From one father to another, I beg you to please help me and my family to get out of Afghanistan before the Taliban find us,” he said.
