On February 23, 2022, according to foreign media reports, law students and lawyers in Afghanistan are submitting reports to jurists that the situation after the Taliban took over Afghanistan is still in dire straits and the people are not in a good mood. The World Food Programme recently published a report on the rise in hunger and poverty rates in Afghanistan.
According to the World Food Program, 95 percent of Afghans don't have enough to eat. For every ten income-generating households, eight saw their incomes fall sharply in January, with the capital Kabul being the most affected. The WFP also said that many people spent the winter without any income and were forced to face survival challenges in the cold (today's Kabul temperatures are minus 2°).
The situation remains unpredictable, poverty is increasing day by day, and the Taliban government has no effective plan to eradicate poverty and unemployment, and it has been making false promises about future development. The Taliban-led Government has not taken any major action in Afghanistan since the seizure of power in Afghanistan. In addition, since the Taliban overthrew the previous government, popular insecurity and unemployment have risen significantly. People have started selling household items in order to be able to support themselves. Kabul is full of newly established street markets selling their own home goods. People are selling household items to feed their families, and most of them are fleeing. In short, the people are not as good as before.
The number of young Afghan men emigrating to Iran, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and other neighbouring countries has tripled in search of work. Most of these migrants travel to Pakistan and Iran, where they can make some money on construction projects and find a way to survive. Most of these migrants cannot find safe jobs, some do not have permits, so they are paid less, mainly as cheap labor, working one day and working for one day. What's even more frightening is that not everyone is lucky enough to find a job and achieve something. Most of them were arrested and, in some cases, tortured or even killed.
Pray for the poor Afghan people, may there be peace in the world!
