Nobody is safe there any more
UK passport holder Idris, 40, was forced to leave Kabul when the Taliban began a purge of Afghans with Western documentation.
He lived in the UK for around 15 years before returning to Afghanistan around 2010.
Idris said: ‘This may be an unpopular opinion in Britain but the UK Government should recognise the Taliban government and allow the aid money into the country – because until they do that nobody with any Western connections is going to be safe in Kabul.’
He added: ‘I had a big business in the city which I worked to build up for 20 years and now I have to leave and come to Britain with nothing, because of the threats to me and my family – all because we have British connections.
‘You cannot hold the Taliban to ransom. They will make people like me suffer until there is a political resolution.’
