32. What's happening in Afghanistan? Everything you need to know, and what you can do to help, with Rustam Wahab

Asylum Speakers Podcast with Jaz O'Hara: Stories of Migration - A podcast by Jaz O'Hara

This episode of The Worldwide Tribe podcast is dedicated to the people of Afghanistan. It was recorded in response to the devastating events we have seen unfold there over the last few weeks as the Taliban has taken over the country. My guest this week is Rustam Wahab - a 19 year old British Afghan who has single-handedly become the go to source on Instagram, for up to date information on the situation on the ground. Rustam has been running a popular British politics page on Instagram for a while, called UK Fact Check Politics but this last week, his personal instagram page has grown from just a few thousand followers, to a quarter of a million followers as he tirelessly updates us there on what is happening in Afghanistan. Rustam is incredible and if he’s doing this at 19, who knows where he’ll be at 29, 39 or 49. I know I’m excited to find out. This conversation blew me away. It's both informative and emotional and I hope it's helpful.Support the show (https://www.justgiving.com/prism-worldwidetribe) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
