Aziz Mohammad owns a restaurant in Kabul, the Afghan capital. Since the Taliban takeover, his establishment has seen a significant decline in customers, primarily those from nearby offices who used to frequent his restaurant for breakfast and lunch.
Mohammad cites security as the primary concern affecting not only his business but the community at large. \"Security is the main issue we all face,\" he says. \"If this could be resolved, I believe things would improve for everyone.\"
The closure of offices has had a ripple effect on local businesses, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the economy and security measures in the region.
