International donors and aid agencies have suspended operations in three provinces in Afghanistan after accusing the Taliban of attempting to divert or manipulate aid distribution. The move has deprived tens of thousands of people of crucial assistance as the country grapples with the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
Hundreds of Afghan military officers were sent to India for training in 2021. But after the Taliban toppled the Afghan government, many remain stranded in India. Officers who spoke to RFE/RL's Radio Azadi said they fear returning to their homeland even as they live in dire conditions in India.
