Also, add "erase digital footprint" and "obfuscate biometric identifiers" to attack on human rights checklist - try not to worry about how feasible the tasks are.

Unfortunately nobody will allow you on a plane without a valid matching biometric ID passport. And you can bet there would be state security there.

You'd need a forgery from one of the few remaining countries that don't do that, or smuggle yourself out in another way.

There is something called UN Refugee Travel document, looks like a passport, but not quite. Many aren’t biometric, some are.

Any embassy in Afghanistan could issue those.
