Assessment

Medium confidence: no claims clear the two-independent-source bar yet

Five years post-Taliban takeover, Afghanistan continues to experience a severe humanitarian crisis, marked by systematic human rights abuses, particularly against women. The Taliban government faces internal and external threats, including ISIS and tensions with Pakistan, while the international community's engagement strategy is assessed as largely ineffective. Maternal mortality remains a critical concern due to restricted healthcare access and bans on female health workers.
