Possibly some hope for Afghanistan - Lilith7 - 10-03-2023 One of those prickles has been killed; a Taliban governor has been killed by a bomb blast in his office. I can't say I'm sorry but I'll try not to be happy about it - although its a pity it wasn't their entire govt. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64899335 "The Taliban governor of Afghanistan's northern Balkh province has been killed in a suicide attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Mohammad Dawood Muzammil was killed in his office in the provincial capital, Mazar-e Sharif, on Thursday.He is the most senior Taliban official to be killed since the militants returned to power in 2021. Violence has since decreased sharply, but pro-Taliban figures have been targeted by IS. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter that the governor had been "martyred in an explosion by the enemies of Islam".

I know how you feel, its bittersweet, but it still could be a power grab, if it means the state is controlled by ISIS, they won't be any better off.
