On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took over power in Afghanistan.

At the same time as they captured the capital Kabul, SVT's team was in a park in the city where refugees from all over the country had gathered.

- We saw how despair and panic spread among people, they were really terrified of what was going to happen, says Samir Abu Eid.

At the same time, an evacuation was underway at Kabul airport.

The site was the only way out of the country, and images of the chaos that ensued spread across the world.

- Many were beaten and threatened, says Samir Abu Eid.
