A British student who decided to go on holiday to Afghanistan has claimed he is now stuck in Kabul as people try to leave the country to escape Taliban rule.
“I was under the impression that the country wouldn’t fall for another month, so I thought it was going to be fine,” he said in an interview withfrom a United Nation safe house. “I’d seen videos on YouTube of people going. I thought maybe the worst case would be food poisoning.”“I hate lying around on a beach so I wanted to do something a little bit different. After graduating I’ll have a full-time job and maybe a family so won’t have the opportunity to do things like this again.
