Afghanistan power crisis: Struggle to stop outages
Afghanistan is struggling to keep the lights on.
Domestic producers account for less than a fifth of the country’s energy needs.
And imported electricity isn’t filling the gap.
But three years after the Taliban took over, small scale projects are providing some hope.

TaliBAN main concern now is images of anything that is alive.

What a bunch of clowns.
There could be a woman in Afghanistan who could cure cancer or their electricity problem through education!. But as we know no one will protest to get these woman justice and most of Islamic countries and follower of the specific book feel its justified in their book to do so!. They preach others while feeding and glorifying snakes in their own backyard. They worship the moon from the earth whilst rest of the world are sending people to moon and giving rise to innovation in medical technology!. The irony is, they would use the same technology and thank their own gods for it!
Inshallah Afghanistan will be slove this crisis and recovery fast .

Stop propaganda against Afghanistan .
What about USA looted 10 billion dollars of Afghanistan's people .
Who looted 10 billion dollars of Afghanistan ?
Here too? The whole world is heading into darkness.
Never take money from any Bank or IMF.
Engineers who are also religious extremists are a rare species.
😂
Power of islam?😂
A country that's been looted by 57 UN countries for 20yrs what do you expect
Islam is more important than electricity.
