Cabinet announced on Monday that a Defence Force plane, with about 40 personnel, would be sent to Afghanistan to help evacuate New Zealanders and Afghan allies after the Taliban took control of the capital, Kabul. But Diamond Kazimi, 28, who worked with the Defence Force as an interpreter in Bamiyan province and now lives in Hamilton, said he has spoken to people in Afghanistan who are confused about where to go and what to do.
