Afghanistan: Latest News, Analysis, and Updates

Afghanistan remains a place of fast change and big consequences. On this tag page you'll find political moves, security updates, humanitarian reports, and stories about daily life across provinces. We collect verified reports, eyewitness accounts, and expert analysis to give you a clear snapshot — not noise.

What you'll find here matters whether you follow foreign policy, aid work, business, or family ties to the region. Expect timely updates on government decisions, power struggles, and how those shifts affect schools, hospitals, and markets. We also track international responses: sanctions, aid packages, and diplomatic visits that shape life on the ground.

How we cover Afghanistan

We use a mix of local reporting, on-the-ground sources, and trusted international outlets. Every item is checked for accuracy before publishing. When facts are uncertain, we label them clearly and update stories as new information comes in.

Beyond headline alerts, we publish practical pieces: safety advice for travelers, tips for aid workers, and guides to following local developments on social media without falling for misinformation. If a story involves an incident or casualty, we provide context — who is affected, what led up to it, and what experts expect next.
