Nasrat Ahmad Yar was working as a rideshare driver when he was fatally shot in Washington, DC, after resettling in the US





Nasrat Ahmad Yar, like thousands of other Afghans, came to the United States in the wake of the 2021 Taliban takeover, using a special visa for those who worked for the US military.

The 31-year-old interpreter envisioned a new life where he, his wife and his four children — aged 13, 11, 8 and 15 months — could live safely, make money, go to school and prosper, his friend Rahim Amini told Al Jazeera.

Instead, shortly after midnight on July 3, Ahmad Yar was found shot to death inside of his car, which he was driving for the Lyft rideshare company, in a neighbourhood in northeast Washington, DC.

“He was not my blood brother, but he was more than that to me,” Amini said. “The only times we were separate from each other was when he was sleeping. We worked together, laughed together, were eating together.”

The two men had met at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during Ahmad Yar’s 10-year stint as an interpreter for the US military. Like Ahmad Yar, Amini fled the country after the Taliban takeover in August 2021.

For some reason this reminds me of the miscer who joined ISIS, noped out when he traveled there and was finally in, and then got droned while running away from them.





Except this dude seems to have been a much better human being.

i just hate when chitty incidents like this happen, the people it happens to seem like decent people

it doesn't happen to losers like johnnydeep who complain about fat chicks and stuff shampoo bottles up their rectums, but it happens to the immigrant who just wanted to make a living and provide for his family
