Yes, sad it is. And humiliating for some. Worrying and more for the population. However, while a lot of people are predicting a return to the Dark Ages, I'm not so sure. Taliban.2 might turn out to be rather different from Taliban.1 and be on a charm offensive for several years, preserving the progress made with regards to human rights and also recognising diplomatic relations. If that turns out to be the case, tourism of a sort would be to their advantage, possibly enabling certain outfits such as Wild Frontiers to operate cultural tours there again in a few years' time.
