A Scottish YouTuber exploring Afghanistan has had tea with the Taliban top brass, after the defacto leaders of the country detained him.<\/p>\n

Callum Mills, who goes by the name Callum Abroad on his YouTube channel, travels to far-flung destinations and vlogs his trips for his subscribers.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, from Coatbridge, has ventured to the likes of Jordan, Egypt and recently jetted off to the Syrian capital of Damascus on another adventure in early April.<\/p>\n

He's now detained in Afghanistan, according to his X profile. The Scot wrote yesterday (September 6) on the site, saying: "From Coatbridge to Kabul Taliban wondering who the F I am and why I\u2019m here…"<\/p>\n

He added: "Everything is fine so far." When asked by a follower if he was still detained, Mills responded that the commander who arrested him was "sound".<\/p>\n

He said: "The commander was sound. Gave me a Taliban flag. Anyone who\u2019s been to Afghan recently will know that each check point is different. Just your luck."<\/p>\n

He was soon on the road again, the Silk Road specifically. He said: "I stopped the motor on the Silk Road to ask for tea from what I believed were 'Nomads'\u2026 turns out it was the Mujahideen! <\/p>\n
