Where is YouTuber Lord Miles? Content creator goes missing in Afghanistan, Taliban government confirms

The Taliban government in Afghanistan confirmed that infamous YouTuber Lord Miles is missing and that they are actively searching for him. The content creator, whose original name is Miles Routledge, was last seen on March 6, according to the government. The YouTuber is popular for traveling to dangerous locations around the world as a part of his vlogs.

Lord Miles’ habit of visiting highly dangerous places has drawn in a lot of controversy from the viewerbase. However, the consequences this time around seem more serious than mere online criticism. The 23-year-old YouTuber’s last shared video was uploaded on March 5 from Brazil, and he has been inactive on his channel since then. This has raised a lot of concern among his fans.


Taliban government confirms YouTuber Lord Miles has been missing for over 10 days 

The latest update in the missing case of Lord Miles came from a Twitter account called Taliban Public Relations Department Commentary. It doesn’t have a blue tick, but that could be because the Taliban government is not recognized globally yet. 

It is also possible that the handle is a parody account thanks to the nature of its tweets, but it cannot be assumed with certainty.

The tweet said that Lord Miles’ last sighting was on March 6, somewhere in Eastern Afghanistan. The officials also informed the UK Embassy in Islamabad. Another tweet stated that Lord Miles’ disappearance is still marked as missing persons case rather than a kidnapping.

Authorities have narrowed down the creator’s location near the Wakhan corridor near the Chinese frontier. Lord Miles’ subscribers and fans had already been concerned with his inactivity since his last video in Brazil on March 5, and the tweets came as a shock. They are praying for his safe return.


Lord Miles’ visit to Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover

One could argue that Lord Miles rose to fame because of Afghanistan, the country where he’s currently missing. During the Taliban’s takeover of the government in 2021, Miles happened to be there. He was one of those who were evacuated to Dubai back then. 

During his previous visit, he made an exclusive vlog with members of the Taliban. In the chilling video, Miles goes shooting with them. He has penned a book about his experiences in Afghanistan. 

Miles had not announced his return to Afghanistan on any platform. His last known visit was to the dangerous Snake Island in Brazil from where he posted the video two weeks ago.

In the past, his vlogs have been shot from places with conflict and unrest, including Afghanistan, South Sudan, Ukraine, and Snake Island.

Lord Miles has been subject to a lot of criticism for his dangerous travel vlogs, primarily because there were several times when he needed to be rescued from the places he went to. Further, he has also been criticized for publicly sharing the identities of those working in ground zero who put their lives at risk to save him.
