Afghanistan's Ongoing Struggles: Drought, Displacement, and Trafficking Issues

Afghanistan faces severe challenges, including ongoing disputes with neighboring countries over border clarity. The nation is grappling with drought-induced displacement of over 132,000 people, significantly affecting the South and West regions. The Iranian government has protested against Afghanistan's damming of tributaries from the Helmand River. Furthermore, human trafficking remains a critical issue, with men, women, and children subjected to forced labor, sexual exploitation, and forced begging. Afghanistan, labeled a tier 2 watchlist country for trafficking, also struggles with rampant corruption linked to its status as the world's largest opium producer.
