    Wasn’t there some influencer who went there last year to prove he was safer there than in the West and they murdered him?

        Found it - Miles Routledge, and he wasn’t murdered, “just” captured and held prisoner by the Taliban for eight months.

          Miles described his time of imprisonment as a “holiday” and “living the lap of luxury”, saying he was kept in a luxurious guest house, with several Taliban servants, and that he has been treated well during his time there, even being able to buy an Xbox, and being well fed with foods like pizza and kebabs. He recently went back to Afghanistan to visit his friends in the GDI and plans to open businesses such a gold mine there
