Last year the Taliban launched an offensive in Afghanistan that, within a matter of weeks succeeded beyond the West\u2019s wildest nightmares. In August Kabul fell and life changed dramatically for the Afghan people. Since then they\u2019ve faced food shortages, a failing economy and a bombing campaign launched by Afghanistan\u2019s own ISIS, ISIS-K.
