Afghanistan has been experiencing economic and political turmoil since the Taliban assumed control of the country. Kabir Haqmal, a former employee of Hamid Karzai’s administration, recently tweeted about how many talented Afghan professionals had been driven into poverty.
Afghanistan is in the midst of a humanitarian and economic catastrophe. Taliban insurgents have threatened media outlets in recent months, resulting in the dismissal of a number of journalists, especially women.

Afghanistan has been in a humanitarian and economic crisis since the Taliban took control of the country last August. Taliban militants have also targeted media outlets, with a number of journalists, particularly women, losing their jobs in recent months. The country’s economy is predicted to collapse further in 2022, according to the World Bank, with real Gross Domestic Product per capita decreasing by nearly 30% between end-2020 and end-2022.
