RASC: The prestigious Gallup polling institute published a report yesterday, Wednesday, June 28, in which it examined the feelings of people in 142 countries around the world regarding their lives in 2022.
According to this report, “98 percent of Afghanistani people have had such a bitter experience in their lives that they did not call it anything other than suffering and misfortune.”
The feelings included in the report include anxiety, sadness, and compulsion that people have experienced during a year in their lives in relation to what happened to them.
According to this report, the Afghanistani participants in this survey said that “after the Taliban regained control over the country, people’s lives have become worse than at any time in the last ten years; “Worse than anyone in the whole world.”
Despite the fact that the officials of the Taliban group have mentioned several times that the situation of the people has improved due to the security situation and economic management of the country, but the feeling of Afghanistani people towards the quality of life in Afghanistan has also become worse since the beginning of the rule of this group.
According to this Gallup report, 94% of Afghanistani people described their life as deeply bad in 2021, the year of Taliban rule, but in 2022, with more than 98% of people feeling dissatisfied, Afghanistan has suffered a catastrophic fall in the list of positive feelings towards life.
Of course, it should be said that this does not mean that the people of Afghanistan had a much better feeling about life during Ashraf Ghani’s rule. Gallup says that “since 2017, when this survey was conducted on the people of Afghanistan, Afghanistan was ranked at the bottom of the list of countries where people felt positive about life.”
As mentioned in the 2018 report of this institute, the violence caused by the former government’s war with the Taliban and poverty had such a destructive effect on the lives of the Afghanistani people that “36 percent of Afghannistani people said that they remember a smile or a laugh from yesterday.”
Most of the Afghanistani people participants said that in 2022, they “didn’t enjoy anything, didn’t learn anything new, and didn’t feel good.”
They mostly experienced “extremely intense feelings of worry, anxiety, and physical pain.”
The Taliban group has rejected international reports about the deterioration of the situation of the Afghanistani people under the title of “foreign propaganda”.
