Life in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate in the years after the Taliban takeover of Kabul and the U.S. withdrawal as women's right vanish and the humanitarian crisis escalates.
Life in Afghanistan has gotten perpetually worse for Afghans living under Taliban rule for the last three years as the humanitarian crisis continues to escalate, rights for women have all but vanished and Kabul remains essentially shut off from the international community.
The Taliban has further exacerbated its own economic crisis by propelling its extremist ideologies and enforcing oppressive bans on women by barring their access to the workplace or education. In three years since Washington concluded its 'War on Terror,' many have questioned whether life in Afghanistan is worse than it was before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. and its subsequent invasion.
Rubin said that even though the Taliban are not directly funded by international humanitarian groups, it has found ways to siphon off funding for its own gains. The Taliban marked the three-year anniversary of the takeover of Kabul in a parade on Wednesday at Bagram Air Base – formally the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan – while showing off U.S. military hardware that had been abandoned following the withdrawal.
The Taliban holds these parades yearly to rub their victory and our defeat in our face,' Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and founding editor of 'The Long War Journal,' told Fox News Digital. Afghanistan has largely remained an international pariah over its human rights violations.
