Angelina Jolie joins Instagram and her first post is a letter from an Afghan girl
Angelina Jolie has joined Instagram after many years without social networks to talk about the terrible situation Afghanistan is facing with the takeover by the Taliban and her first publication has been to give voice to a letter that sent a girl from Afghanistan.
In the description of the publication, the actress explains that, right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate through social media and express themselves freely. So I have come to Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those who are fighting for their rights.
Jolie goes on to explain that it is disgusting to see Afghans being displaced once again by the fear and uncertainty that has gripped their country. “So much time and money, shedding blood and losing lives just to get to this is a failure almost impossible to understand. Watching Afghans, some of the most capable people in the world, are treated for decades is also disgusting, ”adds the 46-year-old actress.
“Like others who are committed, I will not turn my back on you. I will continue to look for new ways to help. And I hope you join me ”, concludes the Maleficent interpreter. Also, according to People magazine, a source close to Jolie comments that she felt it was time to use social media.
“Angie felt compelled to come together at a time when women and youth in Afghanistan are losing the ability to communicate on social media and express themselves freely. From her point of view, if she is able to be a part of the effort to amplify her voices, then she felt it was reason enough to join in and use her platform. "
