Actor-humanitarian Angelina Jolie joined Instagram to post a harrowing letter from an Afghan teen along with her own thoughts on the devolving crisis.
“Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media and to express themselves freely,” Jolieupon joining the social media platform, where she had already amassed more than 2.2 million followers by midday. “So I’ve come on Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.”
The Oscar-winning actor and director, who is a refugee advocate and special envoy for the United Nations, noted that 20 years ago she was on the border of Afghanistan — two weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — where she met with refugees who had fled the Taliban. “It is sickening to watch Afghans being displaced yet again out of the fear and uncertainty that has gripped their country,” she wrote. “To spend so much time and money, to have blood shed and lives lost only to come to this, is a failure almost impossible to understand.”
