Guide runs tours of Afghanistan despite receiving death threats from the ...

Meet the man with the world's most dangerous holiday rep job - he shows people around Afghanistan and gets death threats from the Taliban and ISIS.

Hafizullah 'Akbar' Kohistani, 29, ferries European thrill-seekers across the Middle Eastern country and acts as their bodyguard if they get into trouble.

But the former Afghan National Army soldier from Kabul has come under threat from Islamist extremists as well as his neighbours for his controversial company.

He has had to unfriend or block his family from his social media pages in a bid to protect them from the contentious pictures he posts with tourists.

And he was also forced to create a new Facebook account as he no longer accepts friend requests from Afghans.

Akbar said: 'My family's lives are at risk.

'Sometimes I receive some threats from unknown people, mostly they are unhappy that I am working with foreigners and I try to explain to them that I am not working with military forces, I am working with tourists.

'But I think I should continue up to the end because I am already inside and I cannot go back and lots of people know what I am doing.

'I am a little afraid of the Taliban coming back into power.'

Some of the threats have come from individuals but others have claimed to be members of the Taliban and ISIS and said they will kill him for his work.

He added: 'I tell them about the tourists and why the tourists are visiting our country but unfortunately for them there is no difference between foreigners, military and tourists. For them being a foreigner is enough.'

One of the tourists who has used Akbar's services is Brit Andy McGinlay from Glasgow, who travelled to Afghanistan in 2015. He is pictured in the mountains overlooking Kabul

In one incident he was attacked by five people as he tried to show a tourist around a mosque in Afghanistan's third largest city, Herat.

'Normally when I take tourists to the mosques I am really uncomfortable because you will feel that people are unhappy,' he said.

'One time in Herat five people gathered around me and with very bad language asked why you brought this non-Muslim here.

'They tried to slap me but I knew what I should do with these kinds of people - first I try to calm them with speaking, then leave the area ASAP.'
