“I am the new ambassador of the Taliban”, brawl in the Afghan diplomatic headquarters in Rome

ROME was for one day at the center of the war between the Taliban and the Afghan Democrats. The occasion is the attempt by the former number two of the Kabul embassy in Italy, Mohammad Naem Kashaf, to sneak into the diplomatic headquarters, presenting himself as ambassador of the Islamic Emirate. The raid sparked a riot between the man and the staff of the office, which ended only with the intervention of the police, who escorted him out of the building.
