Costs of the troop withdrawal

This is from The Guardian on Jul, 11th 2021.

The troops have left, and the Taliban is gaining ground. To me this looks like the start of yet another civil war, one that will be long and brutal, and one that will not end well, not that civil wars ever do, but anyway.

There has obviously been a lot of talk about the politics, but this piece focuses on the human cost. Forget the geopolitics. Let’s focus on the human cost of the exit from Afghanistan

I do not have much to add to this, so I’ll let you get along with it.
