The tragic attack in Kabul is just the latest example of how the "emirate" is drifting into chaos and lawlessness since the Taliban took over. This is compounded by economic collapse and an acute food crisis. But even in combat, the Taliban are failing. The ruthless rampage of the IS and its Afghan branch bears witness to this.
Afghanistan only makes the headlines when it comes to violence and tragedy. More attention must be paid to the country's humanitarian catastrophe. Due to the dire economic situation, 22.8M Afghans are facing acute food insecurity, and 3M children are at risk of malnutrition. The West contributes to this by not releasing Afghanistan's frozen reserve funds. This is a declaration of moral bankruptcy.
