    I see articles about this nearly every week.

    What I never seem to find is the Trail of Hunger and Death Behind U.S. Aid Cuts (archive.is). The abysmal Taliban policies towards women end up being used as a flog, seemingly to justify the sanctions that are killing thousands of people - including the 2.4M Afghan girls for whom we’re supposed to care about.

    Incidentally, while the US continues to punish Afghans years after our two-decade long occupation officially ended, the country’s eastern neighbor Pakistan is now in open war over a border dispute, killing still more of the country’s vulnerable civilian population via air strikes across the south of the country. This conflict has also gone almost entirely unreported.
