Pro tip for white people, because your colonizer indoctrination has made you blind to this:
No one that gets invaded by anyone ends up better than they started. Yes, that includes all the countries you've invaded too.
Even "women cannot become doctors"-Afghanistan?
Yes. Motherfuckering liberals still out here like, "We had to murder hundreds of thousands of your civilians to save you from yourselves," even about a project that (entirely predictably) ended in complete, abject failure and left everyone worse off except oil companies and arms dealers.
It's incredible how much this 1800s colonizer mindset lives on in modern day people.
That is the current reality of Afghanistan, yes? Is this before or after their most recent invasion by the West?
Maybe the region would not have stalled their progress so much if they weren't invaded during colonization, cold war, and the US oil fetish.
So yes, even "sometimes slightly browner people" Afghanistan.
