Thank you Emma for your honest reporting and opinions. Mainly because of you and Ameer (Blackman the traveler) I’m encouraged to visit my mother land next summer after leaving it 38 years ago. I’ll be going there with my wife, daughter and two sons. It’ll be the first time for my children and we’re all looking forward to it, In Sha Allah. Thanks again and God bless! 🤲🏽
To me, it sounds weak character that you are only motivated because of a bunch of ytubers? I would honestly elevate myself to higher level and be comfortable in my skin and visit at least the homeland to help out against poverty etc. It is saddening to see all these weak character Asians/Middle Easterns and forget their roots.
I am an Afghan Canadian but I haven't been in Afghanistan for over 20 years. Thank you very much for your efforts and honesty. You have made me interested to visit the country where I was born. You are awesome 👍
I’am an Afghan- Canadien woman. And I was never afraid to visit my country. Not then when this wild Taliban were terrorists. Not even now, when the same wild Taliban are suddenly not terrorists anymore. Ha ha ha. I have visited 🇦🇫 many many times. I was there in September 2023. And it’s such a shame to see Kabul in Terrorists control.
Sometimes the comments get a bit crazy, for some reason people think we are making millions, Even though I nearly got shot on my first day, we are here to only promote the country and show how safe it is, nothing else. And no we not getting paid from anyone to say this. You should of just reported him to a Taliban.
@naqibkhan4071 Brother, you don't know what happened behind the camera. I also have eye witness with me so you can ask them, Why would I lie, Anyway, I'm not here to show anything bad about Afghanistan. The western media have already been doing this for 40 years. I'm only here to show a positive side of Afghanistan.
Hi Emma, don’t allow those kind of psychos to ruin your peace and don’t stop visiting Afghanistan. Wishing you well. I enjoyed all ur vlogs from Afghanistan & looking forward for more 😊
Thanks for your vlogs Emma. Despite the hate you receive, As a refugee in Europe I want to thank you for showing me parts of Afghanistan I didn't see before.
Hello Emma! I hope you are doing well. I am an Afghan/Pashtun hailing from the Khost province of Afghanistan and currently based in Kabul. I've been closely following your Afghan series of vlogs and have been enjoying to the fullest. You are such a kind person. We were blessed to have you in Afghanistan. I am deeply moved by the fashion you had to leave Afghanistan. This person troubling you must be an ill-wisher of Afghanistan. Could you please share his details with me, so that I take up your issue with the IEA governmemt to nab this man, who is defiling the soft image of Afghanistan for tourism. IEA is a very strong government and hates anyone involved in threatening our respected tourists, who are the guests of our country, and we Pashtuns can lay our lives for our guests. I will share your this video with IEA's MoI too. How come someone can simply introduce himself as a person of GDI (Afghan intelligence) and threaten a tourist this way. We will never let this happen to someone else. This man needs to be jailed and get the lesson of his life. I know IEA might be having a lot of shortcoming (like many governments across the globe), the main being female education, but when it comes to upholding peace and law in the country, they are matchless in the history of Afghan governance. And as you rightly said, you are tourist, and not a journalist to report on the issues. Once again Emma, we Afghans are greatful to you for showcasing the soft image of Afghanistan to the world. You are more than welcomed next time as well. And you must come back. This man will not be spared In sha Allah.
This guy Emma is talking about , maybe an agent of notorious warlords of former northern alliance as elements close to the northern alliance on social media are not happy about normalistion of the situation in Afghanistan and the return of tourists and more importantly Afghanistan getting out of isolation.
Yes! It will be great if you can take this matter serious and find this person because it’s not only the tourists that such people harass but also Afghans who visit Afghanistan after many years.
پشتون خودشون تروریست است چطور میتونی از دیگران حمایت کنید شما اول خوده درست کنید ک هر روز داخل افغانستان مردم بی گناه را میکشید مثل انسانهای وحشی همچیو شما خراب کردین فکر کنم خودتم طالب هستی
My family and I watch all your videos .please don't stop coming to our beautiful Afghanistan .All Afghans love you and you know that. These words are from my wife and two daughters, If Emma come to Kandahar this time, She will definitely stay with us and we will be cooking our delicious Afghani food everyday for Emma
Subhanallah, dear Emma you are such a gentle kind friendly soul. Your narrative about Afghan people and Taliban is so possitive. I wish you well and I hope that you could go back to Afghanistan again one day insyaAllah. I miss the moments when you were travelling with Sultan, it was so sweet and fun to watch. You both are great friends to one another. God bless... 😽😻💝
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country again, and I hope you will visit more times in shaa ALLAH, we all Afghans are welcoming you by our hearts, and you are 100 % right. thanks again ❤
Thank you Emma for sharing your honest opinion, we are grateful to all who share their honest opinion. Of course every country has it's own problems but their are good side of things to share as well. Well do e for your courage, honesty and commitment.
Dear Emma, I am glad you uploaded new video about Afghanistan. Last time you came to Herat I visited ministry of culture and information only to meet you and provide you guidance on your trip for free because your trip guide couldn't translate properly. Anyways I wish you all the best and you're Always welcome to Afghanistan. Afghanistan is fully safe and secure like never before thanks to Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. Please ask other tourists to join new trips to Afghanistan. Take care. ❤
Dear Emma, thanks for your genuine sentiment while expressing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to Afghanistan and the Afghan people. I haven’t been back to my motherland since 1992 when I visited my family in Kabul during my college summer break, so your videos have given me a window into my native country and how much the country has changed. You are right that poverty and misery has been around in Afghanistan for decades, but despite this the locals are trying to keep a positive attitude and go on with their lives under the current regime and make the best out of the current situation. I would love to travel to Afghanistan in the near future with my wife and children, so they can see the beautiful sights and culture that you got to experience there. ❤ from Virginia ❤
I went 2 years ago to iraq and ended up spending 4 months traveling all over mainly alone and yes , I walked at night in Baghdad and felt safer there than London or NY but like Afghanistan, nobody believes it until they go themselves they will never believe it … I was also recently in Baghdad in September actually lol !
@@WanderingEmmaWhich shithole part of London or NY did you visit that it felt more dangerous than f*cling Baghdad. At this point I'm convinced that you're just a propaganda channel for radical Islamic regimes.
Hi Emma, If you ever come to Leicester, we will be happy to have you. I have a young family and I'm originally from Nuristan. I have been watching your videos from early days. I was in love with the episode from Nuristan. It is very sad to know that you will not be going to Afghanistan, some people are so weak that they have nothing to offer but problems and spread hatred.
Afghan contacts here, please report the guy who was harassing Emma and other tourists. We should report him to the ministry of tourism. This need to stop and they are harming the image of Afghanistan
We love you Emaa for daring to go and visit the war torn nation that has been struggling with civil disputes for the last half century. ❤ thank you for your courage, you made us all proud.
Hi Emma, first of all I am so glad to see that you are doing well and I wish you a nice continuation of this year. It's so sad to hear your story and what had happened to you with this man and I don't know what he gets out of it and my impression is that you did the right thing to leave the country because this man is evil and may have put you in danger, unfortunately there are many bad people with bad intentsions out there. I am so sorry you had to go through this difficult situation which was very unnecessary, you are such a kind warm hearted soul and you deserve dignity and respect. Regarding the threats you have received it is clear that the people and the media do not want you to show that there are good people in Afghanistan or anywhere in these particular countries so I am not surprised and the haters will always be around us and we have to deal with it and I know they feel bad about themselves as they have sleepless nights. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I wish you the best of luck in your future adventures. Good luck sister!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💓
Emma, I'm Pashtun from swat Pakistan I think you also need to come to explore the swat Pashtun area. Indeed you will find exactly as Afghanistan We are the same Pashtun family roat
I have found your Vlogs in Afghanistan, so entertaining and so enlightening to see a different perspective, and I also through your videos. Got to know of other interesting individuals like Chris and Stefan and black man, the traveller
Hi Emma, I would like to start Vlogging too Could you please kindly tell me what Camera do you use or maybe mobile phone? What edit app do you use And do you do dubbing on video or it’s live voice? Many thanks Parvis
Emma, the man you mentioned who was making troubles could be any ISI pro person. Because many ISI agents and its puppets are settled in Taliban who works for sabotaging security in Afghanistan. You are one of the well known and brave woman tourist from Europe who stepped in Afghanistan after arrival the Taliban, you showed the positive picture of Afghanistan and especially the security, so ISI never want such situation in Afghanistan, because calm situation in Afghanistan will cause cutting the money that Pakistan received from international donors to handle …. And ISI deployed its personals there to work for ISI goals.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Afghanistan and meet people from all over the province, but we pray for this man to get well and stop creating trouble for other tourist
Hi, Emma, good to see you back safe at your home. Iam sorry this guy messed up your trip. Afghans and Afghanistan loves you, please don't let this one stupid guy stop you for coming back. Thank you and God bless you for visiting Afghanistan.
don't worry, thank you for sharing. people r crazy, who knows what he is up too?? when someone says they will pray for you, always a bad sign. glad you left that!! don't stop being you!! much love and respect
I am sorry to hear what happened to you not sure why this Australian man has done this and what is his motivation and goal sorry to hear this. I loved your videos. Thank you
I am so sorry for what happened to you Emma. That guy who was trying to blackmail you is a jerk. May God punish him for destroying people. Hope to see back in Afghanistan soon inshallah. 💚
Nice to see you in your new video about dear Afghanistan ! I would love to go to Afghanistan especially Kabul, I left Kabul for the US in 1979, I have never been since. ❤️🇦🇫✌️
Hi Emma:) I extend a warm welcome to you in Afghanistan! Your blogs, uniquely grounded in the reality of our nation rather than influenced by Western propaganda, hold great value. It saddens us to hear about your unfortunate experience during your previous visit, and we sincerely apologize for any discomfort you faced. In light of your encounter, i would like to encourage you to consider reaching out to the tourist department of Afghanistan for support. It’s worth noting that the Taliban, despite various perceptions, is known for its protective stance towards women. Utilizing local contacts and resources can often provide a different perspective and enhance your overall experience. We genuinely hope that your future visits to Afghanistan will be filled with positive encounters, and we eagerly await more of your insightful content.
Emma A very kind soul, thanks for showing the soft face of Afghanistan to the world wide. We afghan people were very glad to had you in our country. And we wish to see u again in the streets of kabul and all provinces of afghanistan. Dont forget that you are very welcome everytime you come to Afghanistan. Also i hope the issue that made you leave afghanistan to be solve ASAP. best Regards🥰
I watched your journey through Afghanistan and i am so sorry it had to end like this. It looks like an amazing country with a lot to teach and show the outside world. The people seem lovely. What a sad way to end your time there😢the fact that you were bullied by someone not even afghan to the extent that you literally had to flee is awful.
Omg you are so right. I went to cafeteria restaurant in the summer it was unbelievable i loved it so much. I wish i could find something like that in London. It’s a whole different vibe🙌❤️
I have had men (and women) take away a job and other things i deeply wanted to keep or achieve. It really hurts even now. I think you are really brave.
Emma, what language you have to speak in Afghanistan depends on the zone that you visit. For instance, when you visit North they speak in Uzbek language same as Uzbekistan. In central, western parts you can speak in Dari and in the East and South, you should speak in Pashtu. Afghanistan is a combination of multiple races, languages, and ethnic groups.
Yes I know , perhaps I explained things wrong, i hate making these talking vlogs as I have a hard time trying to explain complicated things to others 🥴
@@WanderingEmma No, it is ok Emma. Just the TLBN commandar who said he doesnt know my language should have not expected every single Afghan citizen to speak his language properly since not everyone knows Pashtu there. Just clarification. Thank you for showing the country to the world 🙂🙏
@@Sarahv2 I am neither Pashtun nor Tajik. I just feel that Taliban commandar did not have the right to expect everyone to speak his language as it is not a verse of holy Quran. Why do you people become so sensitive when someone explains the diversity of the country? Why do you become uncomfortable when foreigners get to know about other ethnic groups? I do not hate anyone, I just protect my language and culture which is different than yours.
Great info in this one Emma. I've watched all of your Afghanistan vlogs, I have to be honest at first I was thinking hang on we are told not to go to these places by our governments and then the same message is pushed by the MSN and you have proved them wrong All I have seen is such a warm welcome with a big heart towards you by the local people in Afghanistan, after seeing your vlogs in Afghanistan its a place I would really like to visit, its a place that has intrigued me for years but thought we would not be welcome. I love how you say you feel safer there than In London, which is a phrase me and my wife have used many times to friends when we have returned from countries which the MSN and government have advised us not to go to such has Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Ecuador, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua and many more, we always respect the local customs along with being respectful of religious beliefs. If we listened to them we would never go out our own front door. The guy who gave you trouble sounds like he's some sort of stalker of tourists, hopefully he is dealt with.
Thanks Emma I always knew you will come through, even though you were with a wrong guide , and realise the reality, I will put a word for you to go back for another tour, keep up the good work thanks ❤
Hello Emma, first of all, I am glad that you are healthy and well, and secondly, you talked a lot about security in Afghanistan. It is true that security has improved compared to the time of the republic, and the main reason for that is that during the republic, all the insecurity was created by the Taliban themselves. They brought and they were the ones who blocked the roads between the big cities and also between the cities and the villages and harassed the travelers and in many cases they kidnapped them and looted their property and because the Taliban were the majority (99). 100% of them are from the Pashtun ethnic group, and they are also strongly tribalistic, for this reason, they kidnap and kill non-Pashtun travelers, especially Hazara travelers, and demand ransom from their families. In Afghanistan, you are probably not familiar with the structure of the Afghan society and the true nature of the Taliban. They are extremely fanatical and tribalistic and have a very strong hatred for the Persian speakers of Afghanistan and also for the Shiites of Afghanistan. It is a very strong reason for their hatred towards the Persian language and Persian speakers, otherwise there is no possibility that the Taliban commander does not know the Persian language because they hate the Persian language, that is why they pretend that they do not know the Persian language. The natural language is the majority of the people of Afghanistan, for example, the Tajiks, who make up between twenty-five and twenty-eight percent of the people of Afghanistan, speak Persian, and the Hazaras, who make up between twenty and twenty-five percent of the population of Afghanistan, speak Farsi, and the last of them are the Uzbeks. Fifteen percent of the population of Afghanistan use Persian in language communication with other ethnic groups in Afghanistan, and about seven and eight percent of the remaining smaller ethnic groups use Persian language in language communication with other groups, even the Pashtuns themselves. which make up about thirty percent of the population of Afghanistan, most of them know the language, especially in the cities, because Persian is the historical language, the language of civilization, and the written language of Afghanistan, and the language of science and knowledge, and the language of education in Afghanistan, and the Pashto language is actually only a tribal and local language in the regions It is spoken by the tribes of the east and south of Afghanistan, although in the last one and a half centuries, since all the governments in Afghanistan have been tribal and the Pashtun people of Afghanistan, they have tried very hard to weaken the Persian language and develop the Pashto language, but still among the ordinary people of Kovidanga The Persian language is the majority of seventy percent of the people, especially in the northern and central regions of the country, but in the east and south of the country, Pashto is the most popular language. Finally, if there is any mistake in the translation, I apologize because I have written the original text in Farsi. And I have translated it into English using the phone
Nice try 😂, first of all Talibans are not all Pashtuns they are Hazara Tajik, Uzbek, turkaman and more …. previous racist corrupt government was the reason for kidnapping, robbery, corruption, and discrimination,people couldn’t even walk on the street safely at that time….. previous government and also ISIS (daaish) are the real reason for bomb explosions in Afghanistan, ISIS because they're terrorist, previous government, because they didn't want American to leave Afghanistan..... something strange about previous government I don't know why bomb was not exploding when they were inside their cars or Office ? all those bomb blast used to happened when the parliament members or ministers were out of their Office and cars? unfortunately only those poor civilian drivers and security guards used to get killed, or should I say sacrificed....now Afghanistan is progressing day by day, And please stop false accusations
@@خوشهگندم-ق4ش and by the way, why you’re calling yourself “Persian” you’re not Persian, you’re Afghan your language is Dari …. Greeks in their conquest 334 BC, on eastern countries gave that name to Iran ,Persia is a Greek name for Pars and pars was one small city, it’s not fair to call the whole country by the name of Pars ,That's why In 1935, Reza Shah asked foreigners to call Persia by the name of "Iran" real Iranian language was Pahlavi not Farsi and Dari is a very old language that you should be proud of, and Farsi is a mixture of Pahlavi ,Dari, French, Arabic, Turkish languages..

Alright Emma, sorry to hear your bad experience regarding pyschopath. He is clearly wants to stop visiting the country and show the good side of Afghanistan and its people. I would take legal steps to report this to IEA officials or let us know or leave his details with us. He surely is an enemy of Afghans and Afghanistan
It's quite a bizarre story regarding this particular man you met in Afghanistan. There are good and bad people in the world. I think you took a wise decision by leaving Afghanistan. Most of the people you came a cross in Aghanistan were friendly and hospitable. There is no doubt people of Afghanistan are kindest, friendly and hospitable in the world as shown in your videos. You should get over this issue and continue your amazing journeys around the world and do the best that is making wonderful videos. Looking forward to your future travel journeys and videos!
Yes I know it’s very bizarre, like almost unbelievable when I tell people , if I didn’t have the proof I’m sure nobody would believe it as it’s so bizarre and crazy ! I’ll be back on my travels soon , and would love to return to Afghanistan one day , will see what happens, thank you 😊
Hey, Emma! Hope you are fine and doing well. You haven't shared any new video for quite sometime now. Have you started travelling yet? Miss your videos!
@@WanderingEmmaGood to know you are doing well. You can go to any Muslim country in the Middle East but that is upto you to decide. I am looking forward to your new videos. Thank you for your reply!
Thanks for the update! You met a looney Emma! My first advice would have to be (I’m sorry) stay out of Afghanistan because the gravy grief ratio indicates there’s more to lose than to gain. However being resolved as you are to go, my best advice is to avoid the guy and don’t upload while you’re there. I don’t think there’s a snowballs chance in heck he works for any agency, you know he’s a liar. But being a looney he’s obsessed with you now, so ignore, avoid and above all don’t worry about it or he wins. Much love and safe travels!
Yes Emma it's not da old days everyone almost speak English you are a good person you not doing nothing bad go back we need da truth around da world ❤️
I love watching your videos, Emma. I have watched a few already, and i will keep watching more (hopefully i will keep learning about this country). First of all, i hope you will resolve this issue (if it has not been resolved yet), and will be able to return to Afghanistan if you wish so, and feel safe, as you felt till that problem. I watched other YT videos from other vloggers (interesting enough, most of them are British too) before yours (yours so much more because you have stayed there for longer). All of you say that you felt safe there. And that's a nice thing, for sure. I also see many locals that are lovely and welcoming. But still, it seems to me that the experience you guys have, as tourists, is different from what locals have. Tourists seem to be more protected (some of you said that). You are usually accompanied by a guide (as far as i know it is not possible to travel without one). And i think, as tourists, you miss out quite a lot on some adpects, for instance how life is at home for locals, particularly women. We know women's rights are very restricted there (and punishment s exist). Restrictions also for everyone on art, music...There are armed Talibans everywhere. Tourists need a lot of permissions. So, i mean, Safe Yes (for tourists at least). Btw, in your videos you showed some incidents, so it cannot be 100% safe. But regarding Freedom, i can't see much, even for tourists (well, more than in North Korea, yes). Anyway, it is always nice to see people smiling in your videos. I hope the best for them and for their future. Cheers
Thank you for your kind words but if you heard in my video you do not need a guide as a tourist! You need permits but don’t need a guide … And no I haven’t really been able to resolve the issue with him .. so not sure I’ll go back again :(
@@WanderingEmma Ok, Emma, thank you for the explanation about the guides. I am very sorry about the problem. I suppose you have friends there that you would like to meet again. Like some people wrote, maybe that guy is jealous. some people can't stand others' happiness (or popularity). Good luck and cheers.
@@sharinglanguageShe literally explained as a female tourist she had a lot of insight of the local women and it contrasted so much of what Western media portrayed. There are still contradictions for sure however Emma has explained and myself from experience that the local women there have more freedom than what it looks like from the other side of the world. I went in the summer, for the first time with my family. Let me tell you, i don’t blame you for your ideas BUT I WAS SHOCKED. We are going again this summer! I miss it so much it’s hard to explain once you’ve experienced it. I also went to a school it was more like courses where they learnt English, maths, dari, It and technology and creatives like sewing. I have a lot of photos because it was a little end of exam party and there were so many teenage girls there and female teachers.
precisely: the only way to clarify this is to return to Afghanistan because to my knowledge if the Afghan authorities grant you a visa to stay in their country, you will then be able to face this individual to try to find out what he wants exactly and if necessary to denounce him to the authorities of the country. frankly, Afghanistan through the eyes of Wandering Emma is the antithesis of what we read in the media which target this country to make it inaccessible to tourists. this individual appears to be doing the same thing as the media in question. maybe they are paying him for that... who knows!
Come over to Tajikistan! It is similar to Afghanistan but without Taliban and a bit reacher. But very authentic and beautiful as well! Do you think it is a nice idea to go there?
Why dont you report him to the local authorities and say hes stalking you? I'm sure the government of Afghanistan would surely help. Your videos have done nothing but inspire people to travel and tell a positive story of their country.
My visa was almost up anyway ,at this point.. when he told me he had been told I had been under investigation, I just wanted to leave , it was him i didn’t trust, i didn’t know what other lies he has told about me .. 🥴
Emma so sad to see you had to go through all this. That scumbag needs to be exposed so that people can know who he is and what his real intentions are.
Emma, the people of Afghanistan love you very much because you show the real face of our country and people to the world. Afghan people welcome you anytime. The person who warned you, I wish you would have complained to the police. This person does not work for the Ministry of Information and Culture. I hope you will travel to Afghanistan again so that we can enjoy your beautiful videos.
oh poor emma i just felt your feelings you are in love with afghanistan politicians mess up the whole world badly countries against countries where normal people suffering inshallah you can come to our country anytime you already know rules and regulations best of luck ❤️
Asalamu alaikom dear Emma We love you, thank you for being truthful, thank you for your lovely videos, you are a lovely human being ❤❤❤❤❤ May Almighty Allah reward you for being truthful , I love Afghanistan I wish you go there again and get the greatest experience than before. I’m sorry for what happened not nice. We love you from Afghanistan.
Yes Emma, please please please go back visiting NURISTAN (Parun) again (with a female tourguide), its gorgeous valley, river, fruit garden, and children are unforgetable! 💝

Thank you Emma for your honest reporting and opinions. Mainly because of you and Ameer (Blackman the traveler) I’m encouraged to visit my mother land next summer after leaving it 38 years ago. I’ll be going there with my wife, daughter and two sons. It’ll be the first time for my children and we’re all looking forward to it, In Sha Allah.
Thanks again and God bless! 🤲🏽
To me, it sounds weak character that you are only motivated because of a bunch of ytubers? I would honestly elevate myself to higher level and be comfortable in my skin and visit at least the homeland to help out against poverty etc. It is saddening to see all these weak character Asians/Middle Easterns and forget their roots.
why you need the content of a forigner to make you go back to Afghanistan?? Dont you hav e family in afg?? ask them??
Hope to see you guys 😊
Awww thats great to hear! You will have an amazing time I’m sure!! 🥰
@@thegreatest1176 No I don’t have anyone in Afghanistan. Everyone is outside Afghanistan. Also, Emma’s reporting is unbiased.
I am an Afghan Canadian but I haven't been in Afghanistan for over 20 years. Thank you very much for your efforts and honesty. You have made me interested to visit the country where I was born. You are awesome 👍
Thank you for your kind words 🥰
Ofcourse Bro You’re Aways Welcome it’s Your Own Land
I’am an Afghan- Canadien woman. And I was never afraid to visit my country. Not then when this wild Taliban were terrorists. Not even now, when the same wild Taliban are suddenly not terrorists anymore. Ha ha ha. I have visited 🇦🇫 many many times.
I was there in September 2023. And it’s such a shame to see Kabul in Terrorists control.

@@Afghandurrani1747 Really Afghanistan is her own land? Do you know what is that mean?
Afghanistan was the best trip of my life.❤
Sometimes the comments get a bit crazy, for some reason people think we are making millions, Even though I nearly got shot on my first day, we are here to only promote the country and show how safe it is, nothing else. And no we not getting paid from anyone to say this. You should of just reported him to a Taliban.
My brother I saw your first video, you was nowhere near getting shot so please don't spread misconceptions.
@naqibkhan4071 Brother, you don't know what happened behind the camera. I also have eye witness with me so you can ask them, Why would I lie, Anyway, I'm not here to show anything bad about Afghanistan. The western media have already been doing this for 40 years. I'm only here to show a positive side of Afghanistan.
Hi Emma, don’t allow those kind of psychos to ruin your peace and don’t stop visiting Afghanistan. Wishing you well. I enjoyed all ur vlogs from Afghanistan & looking forward for more 😊
Thank you 😊
Thank you dear emma for showing the world the real picture of Afghanistan.❤❤❤
Thanks for your vlogs Emma. Despite the hate you receive, As a refugee in Europe I want to thank you for showing me parts of Afghanistan I didn't see before.
Hello Emma! I hope you are doing well. I am an Afghan/Pashtun hailing from the Khost province of Afghanistan and currently based in Kabul. I've been closely following your Afghan series of vlogs and have been enjoying to the fullest. You are such a kind person. We were blessed to have you in Afghanistan. I am deeply moved by the fashion you had to leave Afghanistan. This person troubling you must be an ill-wisher of Afghanistan. Could you please share his details with me, so that I take up your issue with the IEA governmemt to nab this man, who is defiling the soft image of Afghanistan for tourism. IEA is a very strong government and hates anyone involved in threatening our respected tourists, who are the guests of our country, and we Pashtuns can lay our lives for our guests. I will share your this video with IEA's MoI too. How come someone can simply introduce himself as a person of GDI (Afghan intelligence) and threaten a tourist this way. We will never let this happen to someone else. This man needs to be jailed and get the lesson of his life.
I know IEA might be having a lot of shortcoming (like many governments across the globe), the main being female education, but when it comes to upholding peace and law in the country, they are matchless in the history of Afghan governance. And as you rightly said, you are tourist, and not a journalist to report on the issues. Once again Emma, we Afghans are greatful to you for showcasing the soft image of Afghanistan to the world. You are more than welcomed next time as well. And you must come back. This man will not be spared In sha Allah.
Please find out who this guy is and report him because he’s doing lots of damage to Afghanistan image! Thank you brother.
This guy needs to be arrested
This guy Emma is talking about , maybe an agent of notorious warlords of former northern alliance as elements close to the northern alliance on social media are not happy about normalistion of the situation in Afghanistan and the return of tourists and more importantly Afghanistan getting out of isolation.
Yes! It will be great if you can take this matter serious and find this person because it’s not only the tourists that such people harass but also Afghans who visit Afghanistan after many years.
پشتون خودشون تروریست است چطور میتونی از دیگران حمایت کنید شما اول خوده درست کنید ک هر روز داخل افغانستان مردم بی گناه را میکشید مثل انسانهای وحشی همچیو شما خراب کردین فکر کنم خودتم طالب هستی
My family and I watch all your videos .please don't stop coming to our beautiful Afghanistan .All Afghans love you and you know that.
These words are from my wife and two daughters, If Emma come to Kandahar this time, She will definitely stay with us and we will be cooking our delicious Afghani food everyday for Emma
Thank you 🙏 I have been to Kandahar in my first visit but would love to come back again !
thanks Best Emma for showing afghanistan for the people.
my dad loved your videos he passed away last month & he wanted to go to afghanistan thank you for your videos they're amazing
Sorry for your loss :( and thank you 🙏
Hi Emma, thank you for showing your honesty how aour brothers and sisters Afghani and their country how lovely it was when you were there.
Subhanallah, dear Emma you are such a gentle kind friendly soul. Your narrative about Afghan people and Taliban is so possitive. I wish you well and I hope that you could go back to Afghanistan again one day insyaAllah. I miss the moments when you were travelling with Sultan, it was so sweet and fun to watch. You both are great friends to one another. God bless... 😽😻💝
Sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences about our country, keep visiting and do vlogs from Afghanistan
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country again, and I hope you will visit more times in shaa ALLAH, we all Afghans are welcoming you by our hearts, and you are 100 % right. thanks again ❤
Thank you Emma for sharing your honest opinion, we are grateful to all who share their honest opinion. Of course every country has it's own problems but their are good side of things to share as well. Well do e for your courage, honesty and commitment.
Dear Emma, I am glad you uploaded new video about Afghanistan. Last time you came to Herat I visited ministry of culture and information only to meet you and provide you guidance on your trip for free because your trip guide couldn't translate properly. Anyways I wish you all the best and you're Always welcome to Afghanistan. Afghanistan is fully safe and secure like never before thanks to Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. Please ask other tourists to join new trips to Afghanistan. Take care. ❤
I really enjoyed all of your Afgan videos; Thank you for making them!
Absolutely love your work - sorry you had to leave because of one person - I hope you able to return soon.
Thank you 🙏
Afghan people very friendly people
Thank you Emma for showing Afghanistan you are so kind
Dear Emma, thanks for your genuine sentiment while expressing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to Afghanistan and the Afghan people. I haven’t been back to my motherland since 1992 when I visited my family in Kabul during my college summer break, so your videos have given me a window into my native country and how much the country has changed. You are right that poverty and misery has been around in Afghanistan for decades, but despite this the locals are trying to keep a positive attitude and go on with their lives under the current regime and make the best out of the current situation. I would love to travel to Afghanistan in the near future with my wife and children, so they can see the beautiful sights and culture that you got to experience there. ❤ from Virginia ❤
Go and save women of Afghanistan from tyrannical and patriarchal yoke.
I recently went to Iraq as an American and no one believes me that it is safe. I felt much safer in Baghdad than many American cities.
I went 2 years ago to iraq and ended up spending 4 months traveling all over mainly alone and yes , I walked at night in Baghdad and felt safer there than London or NY but like Afghanistan, nobody believes it until they go themselves they will never believe it … I was also recently in Baghdad in September actually lol !
@@WanderingEmmaWhich shithole part of London or NY did you visit that it felt more dangerous than f*cling Baghdad.
At this point I'm convinced that you're just a propaganda channel for radical Islamic regimes.
thank you so much for telling the truth about afghanistan
Hi Emma,
If you ever come to Leicester, we will be happy to have you. I have a young family and I'm originally from Nuristan. I have been watching your videos from early days. I was in love with the episode from Nuristan.
It is very sad to know that you will not be going to Afghanistan, some people are so weak that they have nothing to offer but problems and spread hatred.
I hope you dont think all Australians are like this. As an Aussie im sorry to hear this! Thanks for posting this video. Happy new year!
No, he had different circumstances .. I have many Australian friends lol
@@WanderingEmma I hope you could atleast report him to police. I am really surprised you didn’t contact anyone in authority.
Afghan contacts here, please report the guy who was harassing Emma and other tourists. We should report him to the ministry of tourism. This need to stop and they are harming the image of Afghanistan
Thank you for ur nice and positive comments about Afghanistan hope we see you again there soon.
We love you Emaa for daring to go and visit the war torn nation that has been struggling with civil disputes for the last half century. ❤ thank you for your courage, you made us all proud.
Hi Emma, first of all I am so glad to see that you are doing well and I wish you a nice continuation of this year. It's so sad to hear your story and what had happened to you with this man and I don't know what he gets out of it and my impression is that you did the right thing to leave the country because this man is evil and may have put you in danger, unfortunately there are many bad people with bad intentsions out there. I am so sorry you had to go through this difficult situation which was very unnecessary, you are such a kind warm hearted soul and you deserve dignity and respect. Regarding the threats you have received it is clear that the people and the media do not want you to show that there are good people in Afghanistan or anywhere in these particular countries so I am not surprised and the haters will always be around us and we have to deal with it and I know they feel bad about themselves as they have sleepless nights. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I wish you the best of luck in your future adventures. Good luck sister!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💓
Love what you do Emma, you’re a wonderful human being and an inspiration.
Thank you very much for your honesty and your efforts, I would love to see you back in Afghanistan and see Afghanistan through your eyes…
Emma,
I'm Pashtun from swat Pakistan
I think you also need to come to explore the swat Pashtun area. Indeed you will find exactly as Afghanistan
We are the same Pashtun family roat
You got a great personality, thank you for your video. Respect
I have found your Vlogs in Afghanistan, so entertaining and so enlightening to see a different perspective, and I also through your videos. Got to know of other interesting individuals like Chris and Stefan and black man, the traveller
Really interesting video. Thanks Emma.
Thank you so much for sharing with us,Emma! That is eye opening 🌸👍🏻
Dear Emma always welcome to Afghanistan.
I live in London and happy to take you to Afghanistan again😊
Hi Emma,
I would like to start Vlogging too
Could you please kindly tell me what
Camera do you use or maybe mobile phone?
What edit app do you use
And do you do dubbing on video or it’s live voice?
Many thanks
Parvis
The most important is that you're safe now ❤
Thanks alot emma you really explained the reallity of my country stay safe thanks alot again
Thanks Emma for your this video which explains the real thoughts of Afghans
Emma, the man you mentioned who was making troubles could be any ISI pro person. Because many ISI agents and its puppets are settled in Taliban who works for sabotaging security in Afghanistan. You are one of the well known and brave woman tourist from Europe who stepped in Afghanistan after arrival the Taliban, you showed the positive picture of Afghanistan and especially the security, so ISI never want such situation in Afghanistan, because calm situation in Afghanistan will cause cutting the money that Pakistan received from international donors to handle …. And ISI deployed its personals there to work for ISI goals.
Hi Emma You are amazing and inspirational. I would love to hear about your visa process.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Afghanistan and meet people from all over the province, but we pray for this man to get well and stop creating trouble for other tourist
Hi, Emma, good to see you back safe at your home. Iam sorry this guy messed up your trip. Afghans and Afghanistan loves you, please don't let this one stupid guy stop you for coming back. Thank you and God bless you for visiting Afghanistan.
hi Emma how are You, Long Life for you. A.from Afghanistan.
don't worry, thank you for sharing. people r crazy, who knows what he is up too?? when someone says they will pray for you, always a bad sign. glad you left that!! don't stop being you!! much love and respect
I am sorry to hear what happened to you not sure why this Australian man has done this and what is his motivation and goal sorry to hear this. I loved your videos. Thank you
Thank you 😊
Hang on, he was Australian?
@@majortom6382 yes he is …
No idea who it is
I am so sorry for what happened to you Emma. That guy who was trying to blackmail you is a jerk. May God punish him for destroying people. Hope to see back in Afghanistan soon inshallah. 💚
Thank you Emma for your insight and your experience speaks volumes ❤
*excellent video, thanks*
Emma we need more videos of you and that bodybuilder. He seemed like a gentleman plus funny. We need to see more of Afghanistan. Great videos
Nice to see you in your new video about dear Afghanistan !
I would love to go to Afghanistan especially Kabul, I left Kabul for the US in 1979, I have never been since.
❤️🇦🇫✌️
Same here bro, although we left back in 1978. I really want to go back and visit my home country ❤❤❤
Hi Emma:)
I extend a warm welcome to you in Afghanistan! Your blogs, uniquely grounded in the reality of our nation rather than influenced by Western propaganda, hold great value. It saddens us to hear about your unfortunate experience during your previous visit, and we sincerely apologize for any discomfort you faced.
In light of your encounter, i would like to encourage you to consider reaching out to the tourist department of Afghanistan for support. It’s worth noting that the Taliban, despite various perceptions, is known for its protective stance towards women. Utilizing local contacts and resources can often provide a different perspective and enhance your overall experience.
We genuinely hope that your future visits to Afghanistan will be filled with positive encounters, and we eagerly await more of your insightful content.
Thank you 😊
Emma it may not feel like it at all times, but you are always welcome in our country. May you visit again when you feel comfortable ❤
Thank you 🥰
Emma
A very kind soul, thanks for showing the soft face of Afghanistan to the world wide. We afghan people were very glad to had you in our country.
And we wish to see u again in the streets of kabul and all provinces of afghanistan. Dont forget that you are very welcome everytime you come to Afghanistan. Also i hope the issue that made you leave afghanistan to be solve ASAP.
best Regards🥰
Welcome to Afghanistan this is zubair From Afghanistan
I watched your journey through Afghanistan and i am so sorry it had to end like this. It looks like an amazing country with a lot to teach and show the outside world. The people seem lovely. What a sad way to end your time there😢the fact that you were bullied by someone not even afghan to the extent that you literally had to flee is awful.
He asks Allah to guide you to pretend to be a good muslim but then he tells lies about you, which is the opposite of what a muslim should do. 🤔🤨
Yes exactly 😢
Omg you are so right. I went to cafeteria restaurant in the summer it was unbelievable i loved it so much. I wish i could find something like that in London. It’s a whole different vibe🙌❤️
I have had men (and women) take away a job and other things i deeply wanted to keep or achieve. It really hurts even now. I think you are really brave.
Emma, you are the best I love you!
Thanks a lot for this video Emma. I'll be in Afghanistan next week, very helpful
u deserve so much more views!!!
Emma, what language you have to speak in Afghanistan depends on the zone that you visit. For instance, when you visit North they speak in Uzbek language same as Uzbekistan. In central, western parts you can speak in Dari and in the East and South, you should speak in Pashtu. Afghanistan is a combination of multiple races, languages, and ethnic groups.
Yes I know , perhaps I explained things wrong, i hate making these talking vlogs as I have a hard time trying to explain complicated things to others 🥴
@@WanderingEmma No, it is ok Emma. Just the TLBN commandar who said he doesnt know my language should have not expected every single Afghan citizen to speak his language properly since not everyone knows Pashtu there. Just clarification. Thank you for showing the country to the world 🙂🙏
@@JFA-9019relax it’s just a language yall always be hating on pashto language 💀 while many pashtons admire farsi and y’all do the opposite with pashto
@@Sarahv2 I am neither Pashtun nor Tajik. I just feel that Taliban commandar did not have the right to expect everyone to speak his language as it is not a verse of holy Quran. Why do you people become so sensitive when someone explains the diversity of the country? Why do you become uncomfortable when foreigners get to know about other ethnic groups? I do not hate anyone, I just protect my language and culture which is different than yours.
@@JFA-9019 what is your language and culture
Great info in this one Emma.
I've watched all of your Afghanistan vlogs, I have to be honest at first I was thinking hang on we are told not to go to these places by our governments and then the same message is pushed by the MSN and you have proved them wrong
All I have seen is such a warm welcome with a big heart towards you by the local people in Afghanistan, after seeing your vlogs in Afghanistan its a place I would really like to visit, its a place that has intrigued me for years but thought we would not be welcome.
I love how you say you feel safer there than In London, which is a phrase me and my wife have used many times to friends when we have returned from countries which the MSN and government have advised us not to go to such has Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Ecuador, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua and many more, we always respect the local customs along with being respectful of religious beliefs.
If we listened to them we would never go out our own front door.
The guy who gave you trouble sounds like he's some sort of stalker of tourists, hopefully he is dealt with.
Thanks Emma I always knew you will come through, even though you were with a wrong guide , and realise the reality, I will put a word for you to go back for another tour, keep up the good work thanks ❤
Thank you Emma. Hope this bad guy already got back to Australie
Thank God for your safety, I was greatly afraid of you in your absence
Jestem Twoim fanem!❤ pozdrawiam z Polski. Ogladam rowniez kanal - Jak to daleko, Tomasz też był w Afganistanie. Wspaniały kraj❤❤❤

Don’t be afraid of him, maybe he doesn’t want to promote the Afghan
Tourism . We love your videos
Thank you Emma, I appreciate your work!
Thank you Emma
I am Afghan but have never been to my country and hoping to visit one day. Thank you for inspiring us and making it look so easy ❤
Once you visit you won’t feel like coming back.
I would love to visit Afghanistan. I’d be coming as a sole female traveller from Australia. Your videos have been really helpful.
Emma you are a wonderful woman I followed all your videos that you showed my beautiful Afghanistan to the world.
Thank you 🙏
Best Afghanistan Tourist Video of the Year
You should go back. Loved your series, maybe interview the leadership too. You are like the OG of Afghan travel.
Thanks Emma first you visit Afghanistan, then thanks for positive review. ❤❤❤
You are always welcome back, don't listen to some psychopath. 💙
Hello Emma, first of all, I am glad that you are healthy and well, and secondly, you talked a lot about security in Afghanistan. It is true that security has improved compared to the time of the republic, and the main reason for that is that during the republic, all the insecurity was created by the Taliban themselves. They brought and they were the ones who blocked the roads between the big cities and also between the cities and the villages and harassed the travelers and in many cases they kidnapped them and looted their property and because the Taliban were the majority (99). 100% of them are from the Pashtun ethnic group, and they are also strongly tribalistic, for this reason, they kidnap and kill non-Pashtun travelers, especially Hazara travelers, and demand ransom from their families. In Afghanistan, you are probably not familiar with the structure of the Afghan society and the true nature of the Taliban. They are extremely fanatical and tribalistic and have a very strong hatred for the Persian speakers of Afghanistan and also for the Shiites of Afghanistan. It is a very strong reason for their hatred towards the Persian language and Persian speakers, otherwise there is no possibility that the Taliban commander does not know the Persian language because they hate the Persian language, that is why they pretend that they do not know the Persian language. The natural language is the majority of the people of Afghanistan, for example, the Tajiks, who make up between twenty-five and twenty-eight percent of the people of Afghanistan, speak Persian, and the Hazaras, who make up between twenty and twenty-five percent of the population of Afghanistan, speak Farsi, and the last of them are the Uzbeks. Fifteen percent of the population of Afghanistan use Persian in language communication with other ethnic groups in Afghanistan, and about seven and eight percent of the remaining smaller ethnic groups use Persian language in language communication with other groups, even the Pashtuns themselves. which make up about thirty percent of the population of Afghanistan, most of them know the language, especially in the cities, because Persian is the historical language, the language of civilization, and the written language of Afghanistan, and the language of science and knowledge, and the language of education in Afghanistan, and the Pashto language is actually only a tribal and local language in the regions It is spoken by the tribes of the east and south of Afghanistan, although in the last one and a half centuries, since all the governments in Afghanistan have been tribal and the Pashtun people of Afghanistan, they have tried very hard to weaken the Persian language and develop the Pashto language, but still among the ordinary people of Kovidanga The Persian language is the majority of seventy percent of the people, especially in the northern and central regions of the country, but in the east and south of the country, Pashto is the most popular language. Finally, if there is any mistake in the translation, I apologize because I have written the original text in Farsi. And I have translated it into English using the phone
Nice try 😂, first of all Talibans are not all Pashtuns they are Hazara Tajik, Uzbek, turkaman and more …. previous racist corrupt government was the reason for kidnapping, robbery, corruption, and discrimination,people couldn’t even walk on the street safely at that time….. previous government and also
ISIS (daaish) are the real reason for bomb explosions in Afghanistan, ISIS because they're terrorist, previous government, because they didn't want American to leave Afghanistan..... something strange about previous government I don't know why bomb was not exploding when they were inside their cars or Office ? all those bomb blast used to happened when the parliament members or ministers were out of their Office and cars? unfortunately only those poor civilian drivers and security guards used to get killed, or should I say sacrificed....now Afghanistan is progressing day by day,
And please stop false accusations
@@خوشهگندم-ق4ش and by the way, why you’re calling yourself “Persian” you’re not Persian, you’re Afghan your language is Dari …. Greeks in their conquest 334
BC, on eastern countries gave that name to Iran ,Persia is a Greek name for Pars and pars was one small city, it’s not fair to call the whole country by the name of Pars ,That's why In 1935, Reza Shah asked foreigners to call Persia by the name of "Iran" real Iranian language was Pahlavi not Farsi and Dari is a very old language that you should be proud of, and Farsi is a mixture of Pahlavi ,Dari, French, Arabic, Turkish languages..
Read those poems written by old poets. There is only Dari and Pahlavi mentioned in their poems.

Emma you are most welcome to Afghanistan anytime you want, we love you 💓✌️
Habibi came back ❤❤🎉
❤ you are a fantastic woman, Emma! Greetings from Italy!
Alright Emma, sorry to hear your bad experience regarding pyschopath. He is clearly wants to stop visiting the country and show the good side of Afghanistan and its people. I would take legal steps to report this to IEA officials or let us know or leave his details with us. He surely is an enemy of Afghans and Afghanistan
It's quite a bizarre story regarding this particular man you met in Afghanistan. There are good and bad people in the world. I think you took a wise decision by leaving Afghanistan. Most of the people you came a cross in Aghanistan were friendly and hospitable. There is no doubt people of Afghanistan are kindest, friendly and hospitable in the world as shown in your videos. You should get over this issue and continue your amazing journeys around the world and do the best that is making wonderful videos. Looking forward to your future travel journeys and videos!
Yes I know it’s very bizarre, like almost unbelievable when I tell people , if I didn’t have the proof I’m sure nobody would believe it as it’s so bizarre and crazy ! I’ll be back on my travels soon , and would love to return to Afghanistan one day , will see what happens, thank you 😊
@@WanderingEmmaYou're welcome. I wish you best of luck for your future travel plans!
Hey, Emma! Hope you are fine and doing well. You haven't shared any new video for quite sometime now. Have you started travelling yet? Miss your videos!
@@imranakhtar2573 hi I’m fine thanks , still in Scotland with my mother , I will be travelling soon , somewhere… not sure where yet though lol 🤔😊
@@WanderingEmmaGood to know you are doing well. You can go to any Muslim country in the Middle East but that is upto you to decide. I am looking forward to your new videos. Thank you for your reply!
Thanks for the update! You met a looney Emma! My first advice would have to be (I’m sorry) stay out of Afghanistan because the gravy grief ratio indicates there’s more to lose than to gain. However being resolved as you are to go, my best advice is to avoid the guy and don’t upload while you’re there. I don’t think there’s a snowballs chance in heck he works for any agency, you know he’s a liar. But being a looney he’s obsessed with you now, so ignore, avoid and above all don’t worry about it or he wins. Much love and safe travels!
Yes Emma it's not da old days everyone almost speak English you are a good person you not doing nothing bad go back we need da truth around da world ❤️
I love watching your videos, Emma. I have watched a few already, and i will keep watching more (hopefully i will keep learning about this country). First of all, i hope you will resolve this issue (if it has not been resolved yet), and will be able to return to Afghanistan if you wish so, and feel safe, as you felt till that problem.
I watched other YT videos from other vloggers (interesting enough, most of them are British too) before yours (yours so much more because you have stayed there for longer). All of you say that you felt safe there. And that's a nice thing, for sure. I also see many locals that are lovely and welcoming. But still, it seems to me that the experience you guys have, as tourists, is different from what locals have. Tourists seem to be more protected (some of you said that). You are usually accompanied by a guide (as far as i know it is not possible to travel without one). And i think, as tourists, you miss out quite a lot on some adpects, for instance how life is at home for locals, particularly women. We know women's rights are very restricted there (and punishment s exist). Restrictions also for everyone on art, music...There are armed Talibans everywhere. Tourists need a lot of permissions. So, i mean, Safe Yes (for tourists at least). Btw, in your videos you showed some incidents, so it cannot be 100% safe. But regarding Freedom, i can't see much, even for tourists (well, more than in North Korea, yes). Anyway, it is always nice to see people smiling in your videos. I hope the best for them and for their future. Cheers
Thank you for your kind words but if you heard in my video you do not need a guide as a tourist! You need permits but don’t need a guide …
And no I haven’t really been able to resolve the issue with him .. so not sure I’ll go back again :(
@@WanderingEmma Ok, Emma, thank you for the explanation about the guides. I am very sorry about the problem. I suppose you have friends there that you would like to meet again. Like some people wrote, maybe that guy is jealous. some people can't stand others' happiness (or popularity). Good luck and cheers.
@@sharinglanguageShe literally explained as a female tourist she had a lot of insight of the local women and it contrasted so much of what Western media portrayed. There are still contradictions for sure however Emma has explained and myself from experience that the local women there have more freedom than what it looks like from the other side of the world. I went in the summer, for the first time with my family. Let me tell you, i don’t blame you for your ideas BUT I WAS SHOCKED. We are going again this summer! I miss it so much it’s hard to explain once you’ve experienced it. I also went to a school it was more like courses where they learnt English, maths, dari, It and technology and creatives like sewing. I have a lot of photos because it was a little end of exam party and there were so many teenage girls there and female teachers.
precisely: the only way to clarify this is to return to Afghanistan because to my knowledge if the Afghan authorities grant you a visa to stay in their country, you will then be able to face this individual to try to find out what he wants exactly and if necessary to denounce him to the authorities of the country.
frankly, Afghanistan through the eyes of Wandering Emma is the antithesis of what we read in the media which target this country to make it inaccessible to tourists.
this individual appears to be doing the same thing as the media in question.
maybe they are paying him for that... who knows!
Come over to Tajikistan! It is similar to Afghanistan but without Taliban and a bit reacher. But very authentic and beautiful as well! Do you think it is a nice idea to go there?
Love and respect from Afghanistan ❤
Why dont you report him to the local authorities and say hes stalking you? I'm sure the government of Afghanistan would surely help. Your videos have done nothing but inspire people to travel and tell a positive story of their country.
My visa was almost up anyway ,at this point.. when he told me he had been told I had been under investigation, I just wanted to leave , it was him i didn’t trust, i didn’t know what other lies he has told about me .. 🥴
@@WanderingEmma I don’t blame you. But I’d still make a report. Even from your home. If you can. He’s going to continue to harass future travelers.
Nice Video
Emma so sad to see you had to go through all this. That scumbag needs to be exposed so that people can know who he is and what his real intentions are.
He is well known and admired by many.. most people know who I’m referring to, even in some comments 😓
Us a afghan always welcome to our country and thank you for visiting our country appreciate it ❤❤
Hi Emma I Hope your Mom Gets Better Soon and Looking Forward To Revisit Afghanistan Your Vlogs Amazing ❤ Take Care
Watching from England, more people should share this video.
Emma, the people of Afghanistan love you very much because you show the real face of our country and people to the world. Afghan people welcome you anytime. The person who warned you, I wish you would have complained to the police. This person does not work for the Ministry of Information and Culture. I hope you will travel to Afghanistan again so that we can enjoy your beautiful videos.
oh poor emma i just felt your feelings you are in love with afghanistan politicians mess up the whole world badly countries against countries where normal people suffering inshallah you can come to our country anytime you already know rules and regulations best of luck ❤️
