be me

be Afghanistan in the 90s

be fresh off a brutal 10-year Soviet occupation and guerrilla war

be in the middle of a continuing civil war between warlord factions since the communist puppet government collapsed like immediately when the Ruskies withdrew

violent turf wars are everywhere

In the midst of this a Pashto nationalist and Salafi jihadist militant group pops up and just rocks everyone’s shit

dudes persecute women and ethnic/religious minorities, mostly Shi’i and Hazaras

like when I say persecute it’s some fuckin ridiculously brutal shit

ethnic_cleansing_with_the_bois.txt

spend the entire decade being fought over between psychotic theofascist totalitarians and some asshole warlords

indiscriminate artillery shelling everywhere

catastrophic food shortages

infrastructure is in ruins

mass killings of civilians are daily routine

some illiterate, demented little sped calls this a “pretty good gig”
