3rd year of Taliban rule in Afghanistan despite economic challenges and no international recognition.

Taliban marks 3rd year in power in Afghanistan, displaying military equipment and parading armed forces as they maintain power without international recognition. The group, now ruling with a high-level leader and support from religious authorities, faces economic challenges as foreign aid makes up 30% of GDP and the group collects $2.96 billion in taxes but struggles to stimulate the economy. Their legitimacy stems from religious beliefs and control rather than popular support or international recognition.
