If Ghafari doesn't like the Taliban, she should emigrate to a
country that she prefers, the sooner the better. It is that
simple. (Given her connections with the puppet state, she should
have little trouble moving to the US?)

Britain has a particular duty to accept Afghan refugees due to
its former colonization of Afghanistan:

--- Quote ---
> On 26 May 1879, after preliminary correspondence with
Cavagnari prior to the British withdrawal from most occupied
Afghan territories, Muhammad Yaqub's request for permission to
visit the British military camp was accepted, and so he
proceeded there to sign the Treaty of Gandamak, considered one
of the most humiliating ever accepted by an Afghan ruler,[3]
essentially making the Afghan Amir a feudatory of the British
Crown.
> ...
> Under the provisions of the treaty the Amir surrendered
control over Afghani foreign relations policy and allowed for a
British Mission, with European members, to reside in Kabul.
Jurisdiction over the Korram and Pishin valleys, the Sibi
district, and the Khybar pass were transferred to the British.
> ...
> Mohammad Yaqub Khan was to issue amnesty to all those who had
collaborated with the British occupying forces.[4]

U.S. ‘really messed it up’ in Afghanistan, says Pakistan Prime
Minister Imran Khan
--- Quote ---
> In just over one month, the United States will have completed
its withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years of war. But for
those two decades, Afghanistan's eastern neighbor, Pakistan,
stood accused by American and Afghan forces of supporting the
Taliban. Judy Woodruff speaks with Pakistan's Prime Minister
Imran Khan about his country's fraught relationship with the
U.S. and Afghanistan.

including those who worked in the security sector ... should
have any fear of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate, nor flee
towards other places,” said the statement.
