The Taliban has seized control of Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, two decades after the militants were overthrown by a United States-led invasion.
The United Nations Security Council is due to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
More than 60 nations - including Australia - are calling for foreign nationals and afghans who wish to leave to be allowed to go.
Refugee advocate, Shukufa Tahiri, fled to Australia in 1999, and has been a powerful voice for those in Afghanistan, particularly women and those from minority groups.
She says people in Afghanistan feel "betrayed' and "furious".
Shukufa Tahiri spoke to me live on ABC News Channel.
