While Kabul’s rulers focus on silencing dissent and clinging to power, a far deadlier crisis is quietly exploding beneath their feet—Afghanistan’s population is surging out of control, threatening a future of unmanageable chaos, poverty, and collapse.
According to official projections, the country’s population will hit 36.5 million this year, with over 1.2 million new mouths to feed every single year. At this rate, the population could reach 70 million within three decades—a demographic time bomb the government is doing nothing to defuse.
Behind the numbers lies a damning truth: the Kabul regime has no serious policies for family planning, no public awareness campaigns, and continues to suppress women’s education, a key factor in controlling birth rates. With an average of 6 children per woman, Afghanistan is spiraling into a crisis fueled not by nature—but by neglect and incompetence.
Despite years of warnings, the authorities have failed to address the collapse of healthcare, infrastructure, housing, and education. Millions remain jobless, homeless, and hungry—while the rulers deliver empty slogans and issue no realistic strategy to protect future generations.
Even as UN warnings grow louder, Kabul remains focused on policing public morality rather than planning for economic survival. The result: a country racing toward environmental exhaustion, urban overcrowding, and social unrest.
Observers say that unless there is immediate intervention, the population explosion will push Afghanistan into a full-blown humanitarian disaster. But for now, Kabul watches in silence, as the fuse burns shorter by the day.
