Afghanistan's economy is going to shit. Their intellectual base is leaving due to repression. Their women folk are not being allowed to study so within a decade you'll see female doctors within Afghanistan disappear, leaving Afghan women without a method to get medical help. Roads aren't being built, hospitals are being staffed on a volunteer basis and are doomed to stop functioning.
Afghanistan's national budget was half a billion dollars. That's was development, defense, Healthcare, education...etc.
Afghanistan is fucked in the long term.
You can't just dismiss all of this by simply saying "no, they aren't".
