I spent 7 weeks travelling around North and Central Afghanistan in ~2016. It is an otherworldly and beautiful place. And the people are kind and welcoming. And they are very poor and have suffered more than the people of nearly any other state on earth over the past ~40 years.
This news is so very sad.
