Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad has posted a heartbreaking video of an Afghani girl on twitter, where she is talking about how the world treats Afghanistan and that the war-torn country will soon be forgotten.

Alinejad posted the video on Twitter on Friday, ahead of the Taliban’s Kabul take over.

She wrote in the caption, “Tears of a hopeless Afghan girl whose future is getting shattered as the Taliban advance in the country. My heart breaks for women of Afghanistan. The world has failed them. History will write this.”

“We don’t count because we’re from Afghanistan. We’ll die slowly in history”

My heart breaks for this girl and every woman and girl in Afghanistan. After their shameful betrayal, the UK Government must do everything it can to protect this girl and every Afghan. https://t.co/SgjDc5Zqub

My heart breaks for women of Afghanistan too. But the world aided them for 20 years – Afghanistan failed Afghanistan.
