The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The collapse of the US-backed administration in Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban takeover has been disastrous for the Central Asian nation as the victorious militant group re-enacted a discriminatory system of repression while the nation was thrown into poverty. As the international community focuses on helping Ukraine, the Taliban has an open field to exploit common people.

NBC

Establishment-critical narrative

It's certain that life has changed for Afghans since the Taliban takeover, with the government facing more complicated social and economic challenges, but the improvement in the security situation is undeniable. Armed violence has plummeted and rural areas, once too dangerous, are now being visited by urban dwellers.
