Daily Telegraph, 19 April 2022
The British daily quotes from an AAN report, about the macro-economic context of the Taleban’s latest ban on opium poppy cultivation:
A recent report by the Afghanistan Analysts Network said: “Afghanistan has already lost most of its other foreign income in the form of on and off-budget support, both civilian and military, since the Taliban captured power.
“Banning the cultivation of opium and export of opiates would be another grievous blow to the economy.”
