Thousands of people have been fleeing Afghanistan since the Taliban recaptured the capital Kabul last Sunday.
Tá na mílte daoine ag teitheadh ón Afganastáin ó ghlac an Talaban seilbh arís ar an bpríomhchathair Cabúl Dé Domhnaigh seo caite.
Skilled people and women in particular are afraid that they will not have the same human and work rights under the Islamic Taliban regime as they did under the previous government.
Tá faitíos ar dhaoine oilte agus ar mhná ach go háirithe nach mbeidh na cearta daonna agus oibre céanna acu faoi réimeas Ioslamach an Talaban agus a bhí faoin iar-rialtas.
The Taliban have called on skilled people not to leave the country and promised not to violate the human rights of any group.
Tá iarrtha ag an Talaban ar dhaoine oilte gan an tír a fhágáil agus gheall siad nach sáróidh siad cearta daonna aon ghrúpa.
