Taliban Facing Blackout in Kabul

It appears as though the Taliban cannot pay its bills.

Reports are now surfacing that Central Asian electricity suppliers have not been paid by the Taliban since taking over.

This means that Kabul could soon be plunged into darkness just as the winter season is about to fall.

Humanitarian Disaster Imminent

With the Taliban only in charge for little more than a month, its first humanitarian crisis looms.

Honestly, I am not sure this is not being done by design to get an influx of money into the country.

Daud Noorzai, who resigned as chief executive of the country’s state power monopoly, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), stated, “The consequences would be countrywide, but especially in Kabul.

“There will be blackout and it would bring Afghanistan back to the Dark Ages when it comes to power and to telecommunications.

“This would be a really dangerous situation.”

Of particular interest among its suppliers is Tajikistan, which has sheltered anti-Taliban resistance members.

Tajikistan could pull the plug at any moment on the DABS, leaving the capital city without power.

Is it beneath the Taliban to use this crisis as a way to draw in more aid from other nations on a humanitarian basis?

To me, that seems like this is the play here, but we will find out soon enough when the lights go out.

GOP CHAIR TWEETS

A week ago, Joe Biden told Americans that prices aren’t actually high.

But the numbers don’t lie.

Inflation is up 14.4% since Biden took office.

And all the president can offer are more lies.

Inflation ⬆️ more than expected.

Overall CPI: +6.4% y/y
Fuel Oil: +27.7%
Electricity: +11.9%
Groceries: +11.3%
Chicken +10.5%
Milk: +11%
Eggs: +70.1%
Bread: +14.9%
Potatoes: +12.4%
Baby Food: +10%
Airline Fares: +25.6%
Real Average Hourly Earnings: -1.8%

Year-over-year real wages have been negative for 22 months - ever since Biden forced through his $1.9 trillion "stimulus."

That's a wages recession for American workers.
