An image of a former TV Anchor forced to sell food on the streets has gone viral on the internet. The image shows the stark reality of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
The man, identified as former TV anchor Musa Mohammadi, is seen squatting on the streets with a platter of snacks in front of him, in stark contrast to his earlier appearance in a suit sitting in a TV studio.
The image was shared by Kabir Haqmal, a Kabul University lecturer in a Twitter post.
The caption read: “Journalists life in #Afghanistan under the #Taliban. Musa Mohammadi worked for years as anchor & reporter in different TV channels, now has no income to fed his family. & sells street food to earn some money. #Afghans suffer unprecedented poverty after the fall of republic.”
