The Taliban regime's extremism and failed policies have destroyed the Afghan economy, and the border closure has bankrupted Afghan traders, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
Due to the trade closure from Afghanistan to neighbouring countries, agricultural commodities piled up in the Paktika market, where Afghan traders protested.
Along with the Pak-Afghan border, the Iranian border is also closed, and the incompetent Taliban regime has completely failed to provide alternative routes and economic relief to traders.
A video of the economic ruin of Afghan traders has gone viral on social media.
In the video, a Paktika trader is saying that the potato crop is very large and every trader is trying to send it to Iran, but the Iranian border is closed.
He said traders are sitting on sacks of potatoes, waiting for customers, but the situation is extremely bad.
According to international experts, the Taliban regime's failed policies have led to economic devastation for Afghan farmers and traders as a result of trade blockades.
The Taliban regime's stubborn policies are causing serious damage to business, exports and employment in Afghanistan.
