We had 20 years to help build a govt there that could’ve kept the Taliban at bay; instead we enabled a corrupt undemocratic govt and used Afghanistan as a little more than a cash cow for the military industrial complex. All this tragedy was inevitable given our own malfeasance.

I am increasingly concerned about the well-being of missing women activists in Afghanistan. Several have ‘disappeared’, some not heard from in weeks. I strongly urge the Taliban to ensure their safety so that they can return home.

In addition, the US govt didn’t even try to prioritize helping women activists escape when we made our exit. The fact that we’ve now just moved on, failing to truly grapple with what happened there and why, reflects one of the ugliest aspects of the way we have come to operate.
