return to France of a former interpreter of the French army and his family

It is a return to France particularly awaited by a family from Montigny-lès-Metz, in Moselle. Originally from Afghanistan, they had gone on summer vacation in the country, before being stranded there due to the coming to power of the Taliban. Their return is noticed by many residents of the neighborhood. The father of the family says to himself “relieved”, he who had been hiding with relatives until the situation calmed down, while chaos reigned on the outskirts of Kabul.

The latter, a former French army interpreter in Afghanistan, did not think he would stay so long, knowing that he was one of the targets of the Taliban regime: “a traitor, an infidel”, in his own words. The children were scared, stranded in Afghanistan rather than being at school. It was only on October 26 that the family learned that they would be repatriated to France. Now back in France, the members of the family want to find a normal life, in work and schooling.
