The United Nations begged on Friday for neighbouring countries to keep their borders open to allow people to escape the Taliban, and U.N. agencies warned of a growing humanitarian catastrophe amid spreading hunger.
The plea comes as hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled their homes amid fears the Taliban will again impose a brutal, repressive government, all but eliminating women's rights and conduct commonplace public executions.
Afghanistan's government has now effectively lost control of most of Afghanistan to the Taliban, following an eight-day blitz into urban centres by the group.

Update: Afghanistan on brink of 'humanitarian catastrophe', UN agencies say (Reuters)
WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. We are witnessing the start of a refugee crisis that will dwarf the Syria refugee crisis that was spawned by its civil war.

The UN overall is no better than its lousy individual parts like the WHO. What did the the UN do to isolate and defeat The Taliban and its sponsors over the last 2 decades?
The one world tyrants that seem to always exist throughout history never learn the basic nature of humanity. You do not change hearts an minds with coercive force and policies. the best you can get is "When they are looking fake it when they are not, Fook it". IF you want to change Afghanistan to be more like your world you have to follow the example of the American communists. Slow and easy. infiltrate the mosque's and clans and undermine from within. This takes decades but you do not have all of this repeating drama mayhem and murder.
Anyways....Ron
