afghanistan
 

A week ago an italian motorbiker, Orfeo Bartolini, travelling alone in Afghanistan, has been killed by a group of taliban.

I point out this fact to advice any traveller to avoid Afghanistan and to commemorate the memory of this unlucky guy.

I think it's a very sad moment for our community...

Pietro, thanks for letting us know about this.

It's a sad day indeed.

Do you have any more information, news
reports etc?

To all: That area of the world is probably NOT recommended at this time. Pakistan and Iran seem ok, but only ok. Most people are very friendly, but a few others are not, and it only takes one person to cause a major problem.

There are lots of much safer areas to see - save this part of the world for another time. Remember always that our best advice as solo or small groups travellers is to avoid conflict, don't go looking for it.

Take care.
