Luxury and Kalashnikovs, the Taliban occupy the “neighborhood of thieves” in Kabul

ACCEPTANCE – A wide border of fuchsia roses surrounds the palace that belonged to the general Abdul Rashid Dostum, vice president of Afghanistan from 2014 to 2020 and former ferocious warlord accused of every misdeed in the nineties, escaped with the arrival of the Taliban perhaps in Turkey. We are in the very central “neighborhood of thieves”, so called because in the last twenty years the rich homes of those who have managed to divert part of the generous aid of the West to the country have sprung up here.
