    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.

    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.

    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 UA-camrs who have gone there and had more success.

    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
      @lukmankazeem4228 5 місяців тому +1

      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.

Taliban IS the government of Afghanistan now!..... i have seen videos of afghanistan on other channels like backpacking ben, bald & bankrupt, harry jugard and even of a solo women travelle carrie patsalis .... lool them up
      Also he mentions planning to visit places like erbil and mosul...bruh, those are 2000 km outside of Afghanistan in IRAQ 😂😂

    Simon is awesome but he is not a quiet, blend in kind of guy. He doesn’t think about bringing it down a few notches when visiting some places in the Middle East. I would never have pulled my camera out and done the usual vlogger thing until I knew about what I should/shouldn’t be doing.
