How many people will die in Afghanistan because of the ineptitude of the current administration? How many of these will be children? How many will be babies?
During the Trump administration, economies around the world were benefitting from economic cooperation. Then came the fraudulent election. Economies everywhere have suffered. Afghanistan has been especially hard hit.
More than half of the population of Afghanistan is facing extreme hunger, a frightening development that will only intensify as winter gets set to descend on the war-devastated country now under Taliban control.
While Big Media continues to ignore the situation in Afghanistan since it would remind everyone just how badly the withdrawal was handled, hunger in the country has reached unprecedented levels with more than half the country facing extreme levels of hunger. And this is before the winter snows come that will make reaching certain areas of the country extremely difficult.
Michael Lee of Fox news noted:
The crisis comes less than four months after the final US troops departed Afghanistan, with the pullout causing some experts to worry about a humanitarian “catastrophe” that could play out without the help American forces.
“If we don’t preposition the food we need in those difficult areas that you can’t reach once winter sets in … we could have a catastrophe,” World Food Programme executive director David Beasley told Fox News at the time.
Those fears have seemingly been realized, with the UN estimating that a total of 8.7 million people in the country are at risk of famine this winter.
Every day, multiple buses rumble out of Afghanistan’s western city of Herat, carrying hundreds of people to the Iran border. There they disembark, connect with their smugglers and trek for days, sometimes crammed into pickup trucks bumping through wastelands, sometimes on foot through treacherous mountains in the darkness, eluding guards and thieves.
Afghans are streaming across the border into Iran in accelerating numbers, driven by desperation. Since the Taliban takeover in mid-August, Afghanistan’s economic collapse has accelerated, robbing millions of work and leaving them unable to feed their families. In the past three months, more than 300,000 people have crossed illegally into Iran, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council, and more are coming at the rate of 4,000 to 5,000 a day.
Everyone going gives the same reason.
“There is nothing here. There is no work and our families are hungry,” said Naib, a 20-year-old who was pausing with a group of migrants one night in a desolate area within sight of the Iranian border outside Herat. “We go crawling if we have to. There is no other choice.”
The executive director of the World Food Programme, David Beasley, said:
“It is as bad as you possibly can imagine. In fact, we’re now looking at the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth. Ninety-five percent of the people don’t have enough food, and now we’re looking at 23 million people marching towards starvation. The next six months are going to be catastrophic. It is going to be hell on Earth.”
All of this is because Biden did not want to follow PDJT’s withdrawal plan. The economy is a total wreck since the Taliban took over the country in August. Just how much blood is going to be on Joe Biden’s hands?
How will WE the PEOPLE, waiting and doing nothing bring about good times?🦅 This bird will fly once we let it loose🔥🔜🇺🇸
