Yeah and the part that's really interesting is that the population doubled in the 20 years between Taliban control. They went from 20 million to 40 million and they have been experiencing droughts recently as well. It's estimated that more than 50% of Afganies are experiencing food shortages. I'm not too sure the Taliban can stave off mass famine without the help of the NGOs. The future of Afganistan really looks dim.
