The combination of women being effectively banned from most forms of work and school along with the repression of all groups in opposition to the Islamic emirate has made me lose hope in the idea of Afghanistan ever being a prosperous and free society. The ban on birth control also means in the future the child mortality rate will increase dramatically and the number of women who die in childbirth will also increase dramatically. All of this is almost gaurenteed to lead to economic collapse, the collapse of public health, and trapping society in poverty. At this point I have accepted that Afghanistan is basically the somolia/haiti of Asia(no hate to those countries by any means). While I hope for the best I pretty much have 0 optimism seeing that the leadership is too stubborn to back down even an inch.

Hi, first time posting here.

I've been thinking about this question since the Taliban returned to power. Before 911 the Northern alliance were still able to resist the Taliban despite being outnumbered. However post US invasion, the militias disbanded and the top figures joined the new government. Fast forward to 2021 We all know what happened, as most of the national army lay down their weapons without a fight.

So if say the ethnic militias, such as Tajiks and Hazaras were not disbanded but kept as regional security forces, similar to the Kurds in Iraq, would this have been a better, more effective defense against taliban fighters?

A grenade thrown into a school courtyard in western Kabul wounded at least 52 people on Monday, most of them children, in an attack on a private institution serving the city’s Shia Hazara community.

that the local gunsmithing in Afghanistan is really good? I am very interested in how they can pull that off.

Some Afghan, Pakistani, African, and Arab Muslims will live in the west, enjoying all the luxury’s of a secular state and then they lecture us on the importance of Sharia in government and why the Taliban are ABSOLUTELY necessary. And then they expect us to get on the bandwagon with them while our families back home are either snatched off the street by the secret police or while we lose a whole generation of intellect with the school ban. I pray to god we become a free nation once again so those hypocrites can stop taking satisfaction in our suffering
