Back in July I was drawn into the Afghan crisis by the shocking question: “What do you do if you can see the end of your world approaching? Do you flee? Do you resign yourself?”
One month on I fear that what we are watching is the lid of the coffin closing, the earth raining down on a society being buried alive.
There is the threat of draconian Taliban rule, but that is compounded by the economic and the financial situation facing Afghanistan in the wake of the foreign evacuation.
As I put it in a short piece published in Foreign Policy Friday: “The Taliban may threaten Afghanis’ freedom and rights, but it is the abrupt end to funding from the West that jeopardizes Afghanistan’s material survival.”
The Afghani has depreciated sharply since start of the year. If it goes into free fall it will accelerate the downward spiral of the economy
