Once civil society is destroyed by wars and invasion, it is very difficult to build it back up. It will need huge, sustained and sincere international efforts to even get Afghanistan back to where it was in 1970.

Honestly, at this stage I don't even think there IS an easy solution or way forward. Imperialists and greedy capitalists have been creating messes like this for many centuries now, enjoying the profits of wars and aggression while the working class picks up the tab in blood and $$$.
