If those sources are too biased, feel free to supply your own.
Either way, when the entire countries women and girls are unable to access education, a small bump to tourism doesnt quite add up to a net positive in my eyes.
First of of all 1970s isn’t when america, Britian or Russia were occupying Afghanistan, it was free and had a democratic leader. Todays Taliban while the new leaders aren’t free from influence of america. The Taliban are the offshoots/successors of the mujahedeen a fundamentalist and extremist organization funded by America to fight against Russia who then afterwards were so funded in comparison to the rest of Afghanistan that they took power.
But if you couldn’t understand these basic facts how am I going to explain to you internal political pressure that comes with tourism, money flowing and educated people returning to a regime and their ideals. I don’t support the Taliban but I support they are the current free leaders of Afghanistan and somehow they are leading better than “free world” that funded these extreme bigots stopping girls from going schools and the massive drug fields
