With less than a week until the U.S. withdrawal from Kabul, an Afghan hip-hop dancer sees little chance of escape and fears he will be killed by the Taliban
"Hip-hop is western culture... It's American. They hate it," said the 27-year-old teacher and choreographer, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
With a crew of fellow dancers, including two women, he has taught street dance and performed at shows across Afghanistan and in India. The Taliban has said it will respect the rights of women and minorities, but many Afghans are sceptical and fear old enemies will be rounded up. He hopes to get to Spain, where his brother lives. The rest of his dance crew have left the country but he has been unable to secure safe passage.
