I do wonder what the Taliban’s long-term plan is for this chaotic country, and how they expect it to function. Just imposing strict Sharia law doesn’t resolve any practical problems. However, first they have to resolve the inevitable conflict with IS-K and assorted traditional regional warlords.
It would be ‘nice’ to see the rest of the world just letting them get on with it for a couple of years before interfering, and then see where they are. Sadly, too many Regional actors are likely to poke their fingers into the pie.
It is almost certainly descending into a multi-faction civil war, with an accompanying humanitarian crisis. Question is, do our politicians have the courage to resist the siren voices and just stay out of it.
