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.
