       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

       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.
