Taliban Gets Into The Oil Game
The Taliban has initiated oil production by opening five new wells in Afghanistan's Amu Darya oil basin. This project, managed by Afghan engineers, is part of a larger plan that includes a total of twelve proposed wells. Experts suggest that while this development may benefit the local economy, it is unlikely to significantly impact the global oil market.
