After two years in power, what have the Taliban achieved in Afghanistan? | DW News

It's now been two years since the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of people fled the country at the time, fearful the takeover would mean a return to the harsh Islamist policies of the past.

Taliban leaders have avoided making clear statements on many issues since then. But now -- two years on -- the world has a much clearer idea of what Afghanistan under a new Taliban regime looks like.

If you feel useless, remember, it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, thousands of innocent Afghan civilians, and 4 US presidents to replace the Taliban with Taliban.

It's been 2 years already?!! Damn, time goes by so fast

[Anniieee]

Leave Afghanistan alone. Let them decide how they want to live.

[Kcsailing]

This is what the Afghan people wanted. They supported the Taliban while they were in their mountain exile and helped them retake power.

[anatulyalmaimany]

look at these hypocrites! In the backgroung the EU and America have been destroying nations after Nations, and they are worried about women and humanitirian issues in Afganistan.

There were 75, 000 Taliban fighters, in a country of 40m people. If just 1 in 100 people had risen up, they'd have stomped the Taliban into the dirt. The harsh reality is that THIS is what the people wanted.

1:00 those chaps are the most enthusiastic flag wavers ever. You can feel the joy and support.

[kelvinking]

Forgot to mention billions of dollars of Afghanistan sanctioned

[willylao]

Those students waiving the Afghan flag seemed to be VERY unenthusiastic. 🤣

[palestinelucas]

what has Germany achieved by killing innocent for past 20 years in Afghanistan

[damonnix]

Finally, my dream vacation spot appears out of nowhere.

[Supersupra]

They wanted Taliban, they got Taliban. Enjoy.

[dormantviewer]

Just leave them alone... They suffered so much in the past. Now under the Taliban government...people enjoy safe environment at least. They have their own tradition and way of life..

[zargamshams]

For a country to make any progress so quickly after 40 years of war, occupation, and grief says something.

[himualways]

I will surely see Afghanistan as well developed country after 10yrs
Love for Afghanistan
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩

[Shadow__]

Nice, good for them! 👏

They got their country back and the government they wanted.

[dlewis]

Well as an American the situation in Afghanistan looks fine from here.

[jamesburke]

I feel soo bad for the women who have studied and worked hard just to have their future ripped away. This was really a situation where America actually helped and was doing good just to have it flushed away.
