Afghanistan has undergone significant political, social, and economic shifts under Taliban governance. The administration has enforced strict legal and social decrees, resulting in extensive restrictions on female education and employment across the country. While overall armed conflict has decreased compared to preceding decades, Afghanistan continues to grapple with a severe humanitarian crisis, international diplomatic isolation, and widespread economic hardship driven by sanctions, banking restrictions, and diminished foreign assistance.
- Severe restrictions remain in place on women’s rights, including bans on girls attending secondary schools and universities, as well as limits on female employment.
- The country faces ongoing economic distress following the freezing of foreign central bank reserves and sharp reductions in international developmental aid.
- No foreign government has granted official diplomatic recognition to the Taliban administration.
- Humanitarian organizations continue to report widespread food insecurity, poverty, and healthcare shortages affecting millions of Afghan citizens.
- Large-scale armed fighting has declined across most provinces, though human rights challenges and targeted security threats persist.

Intro music is off the hook what is it 0:02
I remember BBC had a report with small blobs of interviews, way before US withdrawal. And it was focused on women who are mothers, wives and sisters of Taliban. In other words, women who were raising and supporting these men who are now in charge in Afghanistan. Their people has voted. And they voted for this. With their arms, with support, and by silence & lack of resistance. They had so much money and arms given to them, so much money were put into their infrastructure. They chose otherwise. I will not impose my choices on them, and I will also be not interested in my country having any diplomatic relations with Afghanistan.
the glorious aftermath of the US bringing 'freedom' for two decades.
She doesn’t tell the truth
It's a threat to its neighbors. It's a threat to Pakistan and Tajikistan borders, yeah it is a threat to them.
Pakistan is the epic center of global terrorism. Terrorism are sent to Afghanistan from pakistan.
Kandahar's real name is ALEKSANDRIA, Pakistan is name given by Makedonians and mean again stand up again/pak stand up/stani , name come when makedonian falangs organise wreestling turnaments and they chant pak stani pak stani couraging that one who's on the ground
Why do not you see Taliban's good side?
Pakistan is fully responsible for current situation. They wanted to support islamists with western help, but didn't consider they were enemies
Why wouldn't talibob stay in power ??? They have the weapons, they have no qualms about using them against their own people, and they prefer living in the middle age to progress. They are the forever turd, that will never flush.
Taliban have got rid of heroin addicts, they ordered them work or we'll kill you! So without any choice the addicts worked, and they have spoken about it, that they are happy and addiction free! How about doing this in the Western world 😂😂😂
Alhamdulillah
it’s not just ‘the taliban’ allowing the oppression the women. it’s also all the men around them. their neighbours, brothers, uncles, nobody is helping them. nobody is challenging the roaming gangs.
and yet it’s going to be the west that has to save them. …again.
Power by swords, Power by guns!
What is all "a power"? Managing weaponless human flocks (society).
The government the Russians backed in Afghanistan included full rights for women, equal opportunity and free education for all. Glad we got rid of those monsters.
Pakistan is the sole reason for the instability in Afghanistan and the wider instability in the region.
Not our problem. Sorry. Thousands of men from the West offed, more money than the entire Marshall Plan for Europe spent to build Afghanistan in our image, only for it to revert to what it was as soon as we left.
It's almost as if not all cultures are the same nor value the same things. I know BIG SHOCKER for open border fanatics in MSM.
Maybe Western feminists could help, instead of inventing the next nonsensical cause to be upset about.
Usa feed them against ussr, like they did in turkey
W Taliban, stop forcing western culture onto foreign countries.
Maybe they will take the Palestinians. Seems like there's plenty of land there
Nothing changed… Still poor asf..With lots of goats around😂
6:45 that's incorrect , The Talibs were airstruck out of Kabul and then the Afghan National Army which can be described as Mercenaries took control of their own areas in the Northern Half , the Talibs still controlled and ran schools and administered most of the south with the exception of the inner cities of Kandahar and Helmand
Utter FAILURE of USA. So embarrassing
Nothing has changed and nothing ever will. They are like this for thousands of years and they will remain like this for centuries to come
USA invaded Afghanistan to capture Osama Bin Laden. Ravaged and destroyed Afghanistan, but Osama Bin Laden was found in Pakistan.
And what USA did to Pakistan?? Nothing…instead Pakistan is in good books of USA.
The funny thing is, just like Russia recognized them.Many countries will start to do so For Geopolitical and economic reasons
Who is bankrolling them? What does this place export? Who gives them weapons? What is the GDP? Who else wants to run this place?? There's no competition!
There's no welfare, healthcare, education, infrastructure, social cohesion. There's only angry bearded men with AKs and Dushkas.
Until they spawn more terrorism, they have zero importance, except for liberal westerners wringing their hands over the 'culture', such as it is.
Could make similar programmes about dozens of deadbeat countries run by despots with militias. The law of the gun is an international language.
I watched most of videos viewing the last 20 years of barbarism did in Afghanistan and how the Afghan nation took thier freedom and brougt peace and prosperity, How Afghans feel safe and happy of not being wars and destruction and foriegn occutpation or how afghanistan is getting better day by day or how world should help this nation and country to get better, there was nothing important showed from afghanistan and it's situation
The whole westren journalism is based on lie and Negative view of Afghans and this brave nation.
Looks a lot cleaner than India
Wait, it's already 5 years?
Time is flying these days.
Better than what hamas is doing in Gaza
I am a patriotic Pakistani but currently in Pakistan there is illegal government in power and mentally ill people are running our foreign policy which obviously is against the people of Pakistan specially blocking the trade routes resulting million dollars losses to Pakistani business
But Pakistan near depend 🇵🇰💪
