The Taliban terrorist organization announced a ban on exporting wheat out of Afghanistan Thursday in response to concerns that the country may soon face critical food shortages.
International aid organizations and United Nations agencies have been warning since the Taliban seized power in the country in August that the majority of Afghans are facing some form of food shortage and that civilians face the risk of famine. Taliban leaders, in turn, have asked the world to fund their regime, claiming that the success of the severely repressive Sunni jihadist organization would result in a better quality of life for average Afghans.
After 20 years of war and the replacement of food crops with lucrative poppy cultivation for the production of opioid drugs, Afghanistan is home to one of the world’s direst food supply problems, and now much of Africa and the Middle East is similarly confronting the threat of food shortages as a result of two of the world’s largest wheat exporters, Ukraine and Russia, being at war with each other.

They allegedly show large shipments of wheat stalled on the Afghan border, potentially leaving the profits of the farmers who cultivated it uncertain.
