That's what happens when patriarchalism takes over.
Fears about that in America were relieved for the time
being by the 2022 election results.

"many U.S. officials tasked with carrying out
counterinsurgency and reconstruction in Afghanistan
privately knew the mission was failing, but in public spun
a different message"

Solar power comes to Afghan poppy fields.       They turn
the desert green - until the aquifers dry up.     Just like
California.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/29/world/asia/afghanistan-opium-taliban.html

Opium remains as profitable as all other exports combined.

The Afghan collapse was triggered by Trump's deal with
Taliban.    The Afghan government realized the US would no
longer defend them.   Trump was lucky not to be president
when the collapse happened.

women and girls have been targeted by their repressive
edicts"

Some things are universal, such as laws for poor people!

This might be their downfall.    It was the last productive
sector left of the economy, and might alienate the warlords
who supported the Taliban takeover.

Did anybody really believe the Taliban could keep their
promises?      They have internal divisions too.

https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-education-united-nations-kabul-taliban-0c092db3ce630807729faa245420acdc

No basis now for outside intervention in Taliban
Afghanistan's humanitarian catastrophe.

wars end in Afghanistan.

If all you know is guerilla terrorism, that's all you
want to do.   Revolutionaries are seldom able to make the
transition to a post-revolutionary society.      So they
join Al-Qaeda or IS.

The collapse of Afghanistan was inevitable once the Trump
administration negotiated directly with the Taliban.

https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-joe-biden-kabul-taliban-air-force-e9fb454b7e9bebac58477e13d603fc06

Better support for the Afghan air force would have delayed
the inevitable only a bit.

Little hope that Afghan Taliban will hinder terrorist
groups other than IS.     Most of them are allies.
