Описание к видео Rory Stewart felt ‘locked’ behind embassy: Former politician recounts his Afghanistan walk

Author and former UK politician Rory Stewart says he went on his death-defying walk across Afghanistan because he felt “locked” behind embassy walls.

“I had been a briefly British soldier, then I was a diplomat,” he told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“We were getting involved in these other countries; we had no idea what was happening.

“So I walked across Afghanistan just after 9/11.”

The former UK politician went on a walk alone across northern central Afghanistan in 2002, passing through the poorest parts of the country along with the harshest terrain during winter.
