Shattered Freedom (Sold)
I first saw a photo of this girl several years ago, working on a de-mining project for Afghanistan. Her mesmerizing eyes attracted my interest to learn her story. This is what losing freedom REALLY looks like. Here is her recent story.Sharbat Gula, famously known as the green-eyed “Afghan Girl” from National Geographic's 1985 magazine cover, has received refuge in Italy amid efforts to evacuate Afghans after the Taliban took over the country three months ago when the U.S. withdrew its remaining troops from Afghanistan.
Italy organized Gula's evacuation in response to requests made by nonprofit organizations that have been working in Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in August and "have supported Sharbat Gula in her plea for help to leave her country," the Italian government said in a statement Thursday.
Gula is now in the city of Rome, according to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The Italian government will help to get her integrated into life in Italy, the statement said
