TALUKAN, Afghanistan—Afghanistan’s opium industry—the main source of heroin sold in the West—is revving back up.
Here in Talukan, dozens of merchants openly trade different grades of opium in a busy new market that has sprung up since the Taliban’s Aug. 15 victory. Plastic bags filled with viscous brown liquid are on display next to metal bowls filled with a jellylike substance as well as solid dark bricks of the narcotic. White banners praising the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate fly from every shop.
Yeah they said they were going to do this in 2000 and sent a delegation to the UN to establish relations, so the US invaded them and got the British army to guard the poppy fields. Do some facts.
It's amazing that a multi-billion dollar industry of selling drugs sprung up in the 3 months since the US left, especially since it takes months to grow them.
Terrible Job, for some People Empathatic.
It may be a terrible, job sorrow felt here.
I am soooo glad the US is no longer fighting a war in Afghanistan. Thanks Joe Biden!!!
We should go back to Taliban and get our boots on the ground to teach these muslims how to run a god-fearing country like the USA.
What other options are there for economic growth in Afghanistan If the international community wants to save Afghanistan then they should remove the sanctions.
By that they mean they wanna control it
