A protest will be held in Glasgow city centre tomorrow as people gather to condemn the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.
It is being organised by the Afghan Human Rights Foundation and the Glasgow Stop the War Coalition, with the aim of offering support to those suffering in the under-attack country.
Mohammad Asif, chairman of the Foundation and an Afghan refugee himself, believes the people of Scotland will stand with them to condemn what is happening in his country.
He told the Record: "The aim of the protest is firstly to express our anger about the way things went in Afghanistan.
"Secondly, we are calling on the international community to put pressure on the Taliban, and to get assurances that the future government will not be the same as one before 2001.
"More importantly we are calling on the British Government, Boris Johnson, with the help of Nicola Sturgeon, to make sure that there is not a cap on the amount of Afghans coming to Britain.
"Britain has responsibility after they helped create this environment in Afghanistan, them and America.
"They have created this chaos and mayhem and anarchy in Afghanistan right now.
"They failed Afghanistan and are now blaming the Afghans for their failure."
The Taliban have seized control of the country in a power grab that has shocked the world.
They had slowly been gaining territory through Afghanistan but quickly accelerated this, and took Kabul at the weekend.
This has led to thousands of people attempting to flee the country as they do not want to live under Taliban rule.
We earlier told how shocking video footage published online showcased hundreds of Afghans trying to board planes at Kabul airport and running along the airfield.
The US military have been tasked with evacuating Kabul, with a striking image showing a aircraft carrier full of refugees highlighting the scale of the mission.
Mr Asif called on the people of Scotland to make their presence known at the protest, which will take place on the Buchanan Street steps at 6.15pm.
He said: "The people of Scotland are very compassionate people, they welcomed the refugees from Syria, and before that the refugees from Kosovo and Bosnia.
"They will be supporting the Afghans in this difficult time, they should stand with us and protest what is happening in Afghanistan, protest what Britain and America have done to our country, to our people.
"I have received hundreds of messages from my Scottish friends, offering their solidarity, telling me that what is happening is not in their name.
"And that's true."
The protest will have guest speakers, and is aimed at persuading the British Government to take a lead in offering a refugee programme and reparations to rebuild Afghanistan.
