Former President Barack Obama briefly suspended comments on his Instagram page on Monday after it was overwhelmed with followers demanding he do something to help the Afghan people following the Taliban's sudden takeover of their country.  

Visitors to Barack Obama's Instagram together with his wife Michelle's page for about two hours were greeted with the message: 'Comments on this post have been limited'.  

Obama has not yet issued a public statement about the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
