The Taliban stormed into the Afghan capital Kabul at the weekend, just days after allied troops retreated from the city.

 

We're joined by Sharif Safi, co-founder of the Kabul Peace Forum, an Afghan man in Kabul facing a grim reality.   He's been in Kabul this week ...and is speaking to us from his home just outside the city.

 

He’s in hiding and fearing for his life.
