Afghanistan: "There needs to be a political consensus to save lives"
Dr Suzanne Doyle from the University of East Anglia fears the Taliban's takeover could trigger another refugee crisis
Dr Suzanne Doyle, a lecturer in international politics, at the University of East Anglia believes the UK must re-double its humanitarian efforts and introduce an "extensive" re-settlement scheme to avoid a refugee crisis.
It comes as the Government has promised to welcome some 20,000 Afghans to the UK in coming years.
Fears have been building for those who worked against the Taliban in Afghanistan since the fall of Kabul to the militants on Sunday, with increasing calls for ministers to step up to rescue those who wish to leave the country.
Boris Johnson has promised that up to 5,000 Afghans can find refuge in the UK this year.
900 UK troops have been re-deployed in Afghanistan this week, to help evacuate British nationals and Afghans who are eligible to resettle in the UK. This is after the last of the British military were withdrawn from the country last month.
Dr Suzanna Doyle believes the US and UK original strategy was always likely to fail: "Trying to build a society from the outside through the use of force is exceedingly difficult if not impossible."
"Its my huge concern that we're going to see a refugee crisis, that the international community may not respond to that as the way they should. But also what the Taliban may do through the killing, but also through the restrictions on daily lives."
Parliament has also been re-called today, to discuss how to respond to the Taliban's takeover of the country.
Jerome Mayhew MP, for Broadlands told us: "In the short term its The recall of Parliament not going to do much. But in the medium term it might do a lot because we've got to then start thinking about what next".
"We've got to start thinking about how we deal counter-terrorism issues which may develop from this. We got to think about regional stability, how do we start talking to the actors in the region like China, Pakistan, Russia and India"
"I'm very hopeful that there will be a significant resettlement scheme and that the Prime Minister, during the debate in the House of Commons, will set out the details."
"An analogy as been made drawn between this scheme and that, that was applied in Syria. Through which 20,000 people were resettled".
The Parliamentary debate is scheduled to start at 9:30am and last for five hours.
