Hell on earth.Yes.Unfortunately nobody cares.Raised this issue on this forum for example nobody gives a damn.Reflecting the apathy of the wider international community.Playing cricket with a country with gross BAD human rights records is just plainly WRONG.And what you have raised is human suffering hell and pain.We should all be ashamed of ourselves.Especially the ICC that refuses to address the issue of Afghanistan.

A truly sad and depressing state of affairs.

Not surprising, that's how the Western Powers assert themselves on anyone at their mercy, they withhold money from countries, drive them into deep poverty, then the Western media ridicule and mock the countries for having inhumane condition and practices. The day after the Taliban took control of the country sanctions were placed on them

My bread is well buttered but I always tell my family and friends I rather see this shit show we call life on earth end. Too many innocent people and animals suffer for me to live a guilt free life. Maybe just leave the animals but end all human life. We are the scourge of the earth.
