American businessman Ryan Corbett moved his family to Afghanistan in 2010, where he started a

business and became active in the community. But the Corbett family later evacuated during the

2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, leaving everything behind. Upon returning to his business in 2022,

Ryan Corbett and several others were captured by the
