The British Army's withdrawal from Afghanistan has left locals in an 'uncontrollable fire' as the Taliban sweeps across the country, an ex-solider on the Islamist's 'kill list' has warned.

Afghan's are 'afraid for their lives' as they lose 'hundreds of soldiers every day' amid fears the government is about to collapse, the father from the Kabul area said.

His desperate comments come after Boris Johnson confirmed 'most' British servicemen have left Afghanistan after a military presence of 20 years.

In a statement to Parliament he vowed the withdrawal did not mean the UK would 'turn away' from the country's precarious position.

But Russia revealed today militants now control about two-thirds of the Afghan-Tajik border as their surge continues.

The foreign ministry spokesman said Moscow was ready to take 'additional measures' to 'prevent aggression' on its ally Tajikistan by the Taliban.

He told MailOnline: 'The situation here is really bad and I am afraid of my future because the Taliban everyday they capture more districts and Government is about to collapse and we loss everyday hundreds of our soldiers.

'So I am really afraid of my live and unfortunately I can't leave the country because there is no way for me.'

'Now the war is very fierce in Afghanistan and the Taliban day by day get control of more areas and Afghan people they are unhappy from foreign forces because the foreign forces left Afghan people in a uncontrollable fire.

'Now the Taliban become more powerful and they have found more supporters the supporters of the Taliban are those countries that are opposed the presence of American forces in the region.'

'The Taliban are not only after me they are after all those people that worked [with] foreigners and it will get more worse when they get the control of whole Afghanistan as they will search for them - now they are busy in battles.'
