Taliban block Kabul airport entrance, CNN reporter faces militants

The situation at Kabul airport remains complicated and violent, days after the Taliban took control of the city.

Many Afghan citizens who have collaborated with coalition forces want to leave, but the Taliban have blocked access.

CNN journalist Clarissa Ward challenges the threat by militants and reports amid shots of the situation at the airport.

The last area controlled by Americans in Afghanistan is now monitored by Taliban.

Look, the Taliban are everywhere, they don't let anybody... We've come to Kabul Airport to see how people can get in there... hear shots fired at any moment. Soon we faced an angry Taliban warrior. He told me to cover my face if he didn't want to comment on the stick in his hand. The warrior tells us that America is to blame for the chaotic scenes. The reason for all this is America in Afghanistan, it tells us. Look what's happening. America is dealing unjustly with them, why are you lying to them, telling them they can go to the U.S. Why don't you help them? We keep going to avoid confrontation. A man follows us to ask for our opinion”

Man: How do we get to the base?

Clarissa Ward: How can you enter the base? Do you have the documents?

Man: No, but they text me and call me.

Clarissa Ward: You work for an Italian company?

Man: Yeah, Italian. Others surrounded us to show us the documents.

Clarissa Ward: Have you been a translator?

Second man: Yes, translator. They all worked for Americans and couldn't get into that airport.

Taliban warriors are a little angry with us, so let's walk. We decide to head for our car.

The warrior relies on his Kalashnikov and pushes through the crowd, as you can see some of the Taliban warriors are very nervous, it's a very dangerous situation. Suddenly, two other Taliban rush toward us. You can see the barrel of a high rifle to attack the producer. When the fighters were told that we had permission to film, they put down their weapons and let us pass”.
