According to the United Nations Development Programme, by 2022, 97% of Afghans could fall under the poverty threshold, which would plunge the country into a major humanitarian crisis.[1]
After the Fall of Kabul, in which the Islamist Taliban drove out the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan government after its 20-year rule, the Taliban promised to set up a new constitution for Afghanistan. The constitution is intended to be adopted in 2022.[2][3]
