A man who fled Afghanistan over 20 years ago after being tortured by the Taliban has said he is going through stages of grief watching them take over his home country.

Roh Yakobi was 12 years old when he left Afghanistan after being tortured in his village.

鈥淚t became more real last night when I had that text from a prominent journalist friend, saying that the Taliban had begun going door to door,鈥� he said.

Roh fled to Pakistan and then Iran, where he worked as a child labourer, before moving back to Pakistan.

鈥淚 received a chilling video this morning, the Taliban had gathered my community in a mosque, the commanders addressing people with threatening gestures.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e already beginning to flex their muscles,鈥� he said.
