Rejected by New Zealand, Pregnant Kiwi Reporter Turns to Taliban for Help in Afghanistan

New Zealand: Pregnant New Zealand journalist Charlotte Bellis has been offered asylum by the Taliban government in Afghanistan since going public about her struggle to secure a MIQ spot so she can return to New Zealand to give birth.

In a column published in The New Zealand Herald on Saturday, Charlotte Bellis said it was “brutally ironic” that she’d once questioned the Taliban about their treatment of women and she was now asking the same questions of her own government.

Speaking to Media overnight from Kabul, she said it was sad her own was stopping her from coming home. “It’s really sad. I’ve been so proud for so long of being a New Zealander, at the beginning of the pandemic,” she said.

Charlotte Bellis, a pregnant New Zealand journalist says she turned to the Taliban for help and is now stranded in Afghanistan after her home country has prevented her from returning due to a bottleneck of people in its coronavirus quarantine system.
