Description
Afghan woman basketballer Tahera Yousofi expresses relief and optimism as she flees Taliban rule on the latest flight out of Kabul, saying it is a "sweet day for all of us". She used to play and train regularly in Afghanistan and has competed internationally, but since the hardline Taliban returned this has proved impossible. The semi-regular flight to Doha, arranged by the Qatar government, has become a rare lifeline for Afghans with passports and visas since the Taliban seized power in August. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
