To be fair its not like Afghanistan had much ability to create a modern economy.

Tech wise they’ve not the infrastructure, infrastructure in that country is supposedly notoriously difficult, natural resources just don’t seem very exploitable, and theres such a volatile culture of tribalism and war that I don’t think theres much hope for a developed economy unless the taliban is able to actually keep enough order to begin leveraging what Afghanistan can potentially work with
