The Road to Guantanamo Page #3

-Yes, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

We just got on it, assumed it was taking us

in the right direction.

We're buying these lot drinks now as well.

Jacked us last time.

An we ended up in this house in the

middle of nowhere.

That's when we was thinking,

"Where the hell are we? What's happening?"

This guy used to come to us and we used to

ask him every day.

Then one day he came and

took us to Kunduz.

The United Front soldiers on the

road to Kunduz...

...were in high spirits this morning.

Word was out that

the city was about to fall...

...an these men hoped to be among the

first to drive in.

Everywhere you looked there was foreigners..

And you could tell...

...they were all fighters because they had

the Kalashnikovs.

Bombs never dropped in town, but they

dropped on the outskirts.

Once we were in Kunduz, we were trapped.

Zahid, what's he saying?

He's talking about the war.

Two years ago in Dostum's jail...

...he had his fingers cut off one by one.

His brother was killed.

He was pulled apart by two tanks.

Dostum? Who is it?

Dostum, the guy who is bombing on us.

They shouted:

"Long life the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"

And 'Death to America'.

Basically, I thought,

"This is gonna be my last few days".

Northern Alliance Commanders say this...

...is the last battle for the Taliban's last

northern stronghold.

News came that they have actually broke the

front line in Kunduz...

...and had actually entered Kunduz and

everyone started panicking.

Everyone just ran towards the trucks.

What's going on?

We started looking for Monir,

we couldn't find him.

Wait, Shaf. We gotta get Monir.

You've got to leave now.

Where's my friend Monir?

What's happening?

Some have already gone. Let's go.

ok, Let's go check in here, Shaf.

Monir?

Monir?

Monir?

Monir?

Monir?

we have to go now.

Lets go!

He's not here, cousin.

Where's Monir?

Let's just get on, man.

We have safe passage.

Monir! Is he on that one?

Monir, where are you?

An we ended up on the trucks and people

going "Oh, You'll find him, you'll find him".

But we never did

So that's the last time I seen Monir.

We just literally drove about a good hour, to

the outskirts of Kunduz...

...and they dropped us off. They had to go

back and collect the people left.

We told each other that we're always

gonna stick together.

And then all of a sudden

there was bombing.

Wait there. Wait there, man.

Ruhel. Ruhel!

Ruhel!

F***ing hell!

Get up!

Run!

All night we went in a big circle and we

came back from where we started off.

Salaam.

- Salaam alaikum.

- Alaikum salaam.

Yo Shaf! I'm going this way.

Shafiq and Asif were on that truck.
