M ст. 🚨 BREAKING: The Afghan embassy in London has been ordered to shut down after the Taliban sacked its staff. The embassy has been a key point of contact for Afghans living in the UK and those seeking to return home. #Afghanistan #Taliban #London
Unconfirmed reports suggest some staff members were beaten and their phones were taken away. This comes as the Taliban tightened its grip on Kabul and other areas of the country.
In a statement, the UK government condemned the "unacceptable" actions of the Taliban and called for the safe evacuation of embassy staff and their families.
The closure of the Afghan embassy in London is the latest development in a rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. The country has been plagued by violence and political instability since the US-led invasion in 2001.
The Taliban's takeover of Kabul on Sunday marked the end of a two-decade-long attempt to build a stable democracy in Afghanistan. The group's return to power has raised concerns about the future of human rights, women's rights, and the treatment of minorities.
As the situation in Afghanistan continues to unfold, the international community is scrambling to react. The UK government has promised to do everything in its power to support those affected by the crisis.
