Afghanistan & Egypt in the time of the plague

[netllama]

As this year draws to a close, I find myself thinking once again about Afghanistan.  Its still hard to believe that I spent time there back in February, yet things are now so very different (and so grim).

For anyone still interested in hearing more about the fall of the country, there this story from earlier this month about the fall of Kabul.  It starts off a bit slow, but is gripping reading of what happened on the ground in the final 24 hours. 

Here's hoping for better things in 2022.  For everyone, everywhere.
