Afghanistan up until a few days ago was sustained by billions in aid from the US and others. Huge economic shock happening now. Taliban has big incentive to try to put a decent face on things in the hopes that some governments and NGO may continue or resume financial support. But that of course conflicts with their core ideology. They will make gestures and try to move towards a kinder and gentler Islamist terror state. Or to fake it. Interesting times in Afghanistan.
