Former refugee, Dr Mohammad Haqmal has insisted that the Taliban group be given a chance to “prove” they have changed. However, his claims have caused fury on Social media.

Dr Mohammad Haqmal told Sky news: “Well, as a researcher, I always believe in evidence so let’s give the Taliban a chance to prove.

While the third wrote a definite “never”.

Another user commented: “How many people have to suffer for you to be satisfied and say that enough is enough?”

Another wrote: “Well early reports of looting, murder, theft and mayhem suggest they haven’t changed! Unless he knows something we don’t….”
