“The last 20 years were a golden opportunity to build the country. But the elite robbed the country over and over again and sold it in the end,” says 11-year-old Abubakar Gharzai
The Taliban completed its lightning advance across Afghanistan after it stormed the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday, all but sealing its takeover of the country.
It’s a result that will have far-reaching consequences for Afghans, many of whom reacted with horror and helplessness to the stunning capitulation of the capital to the Taliban yesterday. Malik described the US role in Afghanistan as one ultimately of “betrayal” following their peace deal with the Taliban in 2020.
A mother of four, Hidayatullah also condemned Ghani’s tenure in office, claiming it was “hijacked by few people who had no interest to build a nation and create strong ties between people and the government.” Malik tries to interject a bit of faith that this won’t be a rerun of the 1990s, adding that contrary to the revenge killings and chaos of those years, the Taliban have so far exhibited a “changed mindset” which he hopes will continue so the group avoids bloodshed and alleviates public fear.
