A devastating economic and food crisis is sweeping across Afghanistan, leaving millions of people on the brink of starvation, poverty, and despair. The tyrannical policies of the incompetent and extremist Taliban regime have isolated the country from international aid, leading to a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions. According to the Afghan newspaper Haste Sobh, millions of Afghans are struggling with severe food shortages, and the World Food Programme estimates that over 17 million people are facing a catastrophic food crisis. Additionally, 2 million more children are at risk of falling victim to food scarcity this year.
Experts attribute the severity of the food crisis to the Taliban regime’s extremist policies, international aid restrictions, and internal economic mismanagement. It is imperative that the ruling regime halts its support for terrorists and prioritizes the welfare of the people, food security, and economic recovery.
