In this episode, we discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The country has been stricken with its worst drought in 30 years & has seen its economy decimated by economic sanctions, after the government was taken over by the Taliban. I break down the specific effects of the sanctions & drought, and what those impacts look like for the people of Afghanistan. At the end of the episode, I detail my wrap-up for this 4th season of Independent Thought, while previewing what's to come in my next season.
