Opium production in Afghanistan has plummeted since the Taliban banned cultivation of the poppy plant, according to a UN report published on Sunday.

Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers pledged to wipe out the country’s drug industry, banning poppy cultivation in April 2022.

Poppy plants are the source of opium and heroin. Afghanistan was the world’s biggest opium producer and a major source for heroin in Europe and Asia before the Taliban takeover.

    Dude, you’re missing the point. Do you give a fuck what luxurious lifestyle Eric Trump is living? Does his life indicate in any way what your life is like?

      I give a fuck that it’s illegal for women to wear whatever they want, go to school or listen to music. I’d say that makes the lives of all women in Afghanistan worse.

        I agree! But showing a picture of a couple of privileged Tajik women really doesn’t contribute anything!!
