Former Taliban warlord calls for country to unite
He held the room with his presence. Former Mujahadin warrior and reformed Taliban commander Abdul Mullah Salaam Mujahid had invited me into his home for tea and an interview. A wrong word, a missed protocol, and things could go terribly wrong.
Thankfully, he welcomed me with grace and offered me a sweet.
Yesterday progress was made in relations between Britain and the emerging democratic governance of Afghanistan when I and one other female journalist became the first western women to be allowed in the home of the Musa Qala district governor.
