A baby boy separated from his parents in the chaos at Kabul airport in August when the US evacuation of Afghanistan was taking place has finally been reunited with his family.</p>
<p>
Two-month-old Sohail Ahmadi was handed to an American soldier over a fence at the airport, to save him from being crushed in the desperate rush to get into Kabul airport as people were fleeing after the Taliban took over Afghanistan.</p>
<p>
However, once his family entered the airport, Sohail was nowhere to be found.</p>
<p>
After a frantic but futile search for the infant, his father Mirza Ali Ahmadi, who had worked as a security guard at the US embassy and his family left on an evacuation flight to the US.</p>
<p>
For months they had no idea where their little son was.</p>
<p>
But after reading a Reuters report on the family&#39;s search for Sohail, in November he was traced to the home of a 29-year-old taxi driver named Hamid Safi.</p>
<p>
Safi said he had found Sohail alone and crying on the ground at the airport, the news agency said. After trying to find the boy&#39;s family, he decided to take him home to his wife and children, and raise him as his own son.</p>

<p>
They posted photos of the boy with all the children together on Safi&#39;s Facebook page.</p>
<p>
When Sohail&#39;s whereabouts were confirmed, the baby&#39;s grandfather, Mohammad Qasem Razawi, who lives in the distant Badakhshan province , went to Kabul to ask for the child to be returned.</p>
<p>
However, Safi refused to part with the baby and demanded he and his family also be evacuated to the US, according to Reuters.</p>
<p>
After seven weeks of negotiations, the Taliban police arranged a settlement between the two families and the baby was returned to his grandfather on Saturday, Reuters reported.</p>
<p>
His parents said they were overjoyed after watching the reunion via video chat.</p>
<p>
They hope arrangements will soon be made for Sohail to be brought to them in the USA, where they have now settled.</p>
