Hey Simon, sorry to hear about your experience; it sounds like your contact really caught you off guard. Things didn't go well, possibly because your contact isn't licensed to guide tourists in Afghanistan. When visiting Afghanistan as a foreigner, you have two options: either go through a registered tour agent or register yourself at the Ministry of Tourism and Culture. This registration, done for your safety, allows you to freely visit various places. Your guide, if registered, should be aware of this process. Also, based on your story, the consulate in Dubai was already informed about your visit. Your guide should have also prepared you for the airport situation; Kabul airport's limited capacity means the arrival hall is outside, and filming or photographing at security checkpoints is usually not allowed. A friendly advice for anyone planning to visit Afghanistan, especially vloggers, is to gather as much information as possible from your guide and ensure you register with local authorities before filming. Afghanistan's current situation has some unique aspects, and it's your guide's responsibility to provide explanations and briefings about them.

The taliban aren't the worst tbh, we just think they are because of the news. They were fighting against foreign occupation, they never attacked outside of Afghanistan like isis, Al-Qaida etc. Women get a bit of a raw deal, but on the whole the taliban aren't bothered about what we do in the west. Not interested in forcing their religion on us, not interested in hurting civilians in the west. If you want to see how disgusting and corrupt the western backed police and army were then look up "bacha bazi", something widely practiced and western governments were aware of, which the taliban outlawed and punished practicing it by death. They just wanted to be left alone to run their country.

Afghanistan is what is referred to as a “failed state” in international relations. This means there’s no order from a government, there’s no law enforcement, stable economy there is just nothing. It’s severely dangerous to enter these kinds of countries without a full understanding of what you’re getting into or a plan for ensuring your safety whilst there. What seems to have gone wrong here was a lack of planning and securing trusted contacts within the country to keep you safe. This is not the place to have miscommunication with the person you’re meant to rely on for your safety. You’d be better off next time assembling a team of trusted guides as there have been many other KZreadrs who have gone there and had more success.

Sorry let me correct you about the American tank or military equipment,no they didn’t left everything behind %70 to 80 of the equipments had been taken back by the American the remaining %20 were damaged very badly but the taliban repair them back.

Honestly this story has a lot of plot holes, it might be true but sounds weird. Since a Germany youtuber is traveling Afghanistan now by bike, and he has a lot of contacts there, he met a lot of Taliban, all of them have been really friendly to him, he even seemed annoyed that everyone was even taking pictures with him and so on. Like most of the Afghanis now, are kinda happy that the taliban took over just because that the War is over and its finally peace over there.

Right, 3 minutes in he lied - there are different branches in the IEA there is a police force and army branch also, there’s nothing wrong with having armed forces in airports you have the same in London or America and any other country, there are a lot of tourists in Afghanistan it was labelled as the Number 1 country to visit in 2023, we did win the war so of course we’re going to put up our flag, the guy he met is stupid there is nothing wrong with filming and most of the tourist guides are idiots he wanted free clout the Taliban don’t murder people for not filming he was just making this seem a lot worse that it actually is and of course it’s dodgy if u come to a country for 12 hours and leave it’s pretty sketchy

You had to escape Afghanistan, because you went to Afghanistan. This guy is the definition of naive.

Asks a question in which he already answered embarrassing podcast

The US left equipment in Afghanistan because they believed, incorrectly, that the American supported Afghan government would fight the Taliban. The US wanted to leave the Afghanistan, but wanted to prevent the Taliban from taking power. The arms were left to so the Afghan government could resist the Taliban. We now know that Afghan military immediately surrendered to the Taliban. This was clearly a huge intelligence failure on the part of the US, however it oversimplifies things to say that the US just left everything. We also don't know what Trump would have done. He might have taken every last bolt, as Simon says, or he might have wanted to leave the Afghans weapons to defend themselves against the Taliban.

@lukmankazeem4228

5 күн бұрын

Sounds like you're making excuses up. The US left everything while the Taliban already nearly took over the country's capital in a fierce fight. That simply means the US and allies could not have handed over to anyone at the time. And even the then Afghan president already fled the country. So, the fact that they left them for Afghanistan military is not true. They simply left them because they didn't have much time to pack up and transfer some equipments. You can watch the documentary on What happened on that day, you'll see how difficult for humans to get out, not to talk of equipments.

No McDonald's there

guessing it was bald and bankrupts video that pissed them off....!!!!

Your guide was a scammer. He was acting and wanted a kind of support like maybe he wanted some free visa for himself and his family. That disgusting guide ruined your tour. Plenty of KZreadrs have been there and they have all enjoyed their stays. Afghanistan is one of the most hospitable country you will ever visit. Find a proper legit guide next time you visit and share your experience than.

What Simon says about Biden withdrawing from Afghanistan without a proper plan should not be understated. This is one of the many reasons a character like Trump gets into the White House.
