Four years of rule, and they already accomplished more than the FGS, IRA, or other foreign occupations. This is what happens when you rule by Islam.

Very justified though

Shias or self hate?

 

[Keep it a boqol]

Their government seems to have a lot of integrity

 

[caano_shaah]

The difference is they have dheeg and can feel shame and humiliation. What we have are traitors who serves the interests of foreign states while cosplaying as "leaders" who are happy with the status quo and keep robbing the population everyday. May Allah liberate us from them.

Priorities: actual development vs degeneracy
I included that to make a point about the West, its duplicitous nature, Work Bank in this instance.

 

[Mohamedamiin120]

If they actually finish this it would be a marvelous achievement, to outdo the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan while not being able to take investments from elsewhere would be incredible!

But what economic policy do they have besides building infrastructure and hoping it works? They call Socialism and Capitalism kufr over there so what are they planning to do long term?

 

[Midas]

I hope you guys realize that these infrastructure projects are loans that will require repayment?

Honestly Afghanistan is probably the only country playing on exterme mode. The entire country is mountainous and they're landlocked on top of that. With the entire country being connected by basically one large road.
