And the Taliban is back in power now, with a population that is more impoverished [1] than before the US invasion. So the US brought 20 years of war and suffering [2] and then left the country to resume under the same government they originally overthrew but now worse off. [1] > The United States war in Afghanistan continues destroying lives due to the war-induced breakdown of the economy, public health, security, and infrastructure. Afghans have been massively improverished by the conflict. 92% of the population faces some level of food insecurity and 3 million children are at risk of acute malnutrition. Some regions are currently facing famine. At least half the population is living on less than $1.90 per day. https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/afghan https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/af...
