阿富汗伊斯蘭共和國
2021年8月,塔利班正式掌控這個位於南亞的內陸國家,並宣布將國名改為阿富汗伊斯蘭大公國,但至截稿前尚未受到國際廣泛承認,所以本日曆延用阿富汗伊斯蘭共和國名稱。根據聯合國觀察,整個阿富汗被塔利班接管後,飢餓人口數逐漸擴大,將近一半的人口正處於飢餓和人道危機之中。雖然塔利班不斷強調將會以嶄新的方式管理阿富汗,但截至目前為止,外界觀察到的塔利班一言一行與過去並無不同。女性仍無法接受中學以上的教育,阿富汗人民也沒有獲得比過去更多的公民權利。目前在各個國際組織的網站上無法查到阿富汗2021年後的經濟數據。阿富汗彷彿被一塊黑幕壟罩。

A landlocked country in South Asia, Afghanistan sits at the crossroads of the Eastern and Western world, boasting of diverse cultures, and is thus strategically important. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was established when the Taliban officially came into control in 1997. In 2001, after the 911 event, the U.S. initiated a war in Afghanistan on the account that the Taliban harbored Osama bin Laden and AL-Qaeda, and removed the Taliban from power, establishing a democratic government in its place. Afghanistan remained under the control of the U.S. forces until 2021. Due to the many years of war, the people were unable to make a proper living. The GDP per capita in Afghanistan thus ranks in the bottom ten in the world, and it was listed as the world's least peaceful country by the United Nations. In 2021, when the U.S. removed its troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban once again quickly took over many cities, announcing the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in August the same year. The world is still watching.
