Special:‌ ‌Despatch‌ ‌from‌ ‌Kabul‌ ‌ ‌

What is the situation really like on the ground in Afghanistan, after the Taliban’s astonishingly swift takeover? Our panelist Arthur Snell talks to one of his contacts, presently in hiding in Kabul. We have chosen not identify them for their own safety.

• “Kabul has been left without anything.” 
• “Everything is closed down. You would think it is the Stone Age in Kabul. You wouldn't have seen this a week ago.”
• “This was a win-win for Russia.” 
• “The Taliban have made fake promises to the international community. Of course they have not changed.”
