Kabul: Afghanistan is the most unhappy country in the world – even before the Taliban swept power last August. According to what is called a world happiness report released before the international day of happiness is designated on Sunday.

The annual report considers the last Afghanistan between 149 countries surveyed, with the level of happiness only 2.5. Lebanon is the second saddest country in the world, with Botswana, Rwanda and Zimbabwe rounded five lowest. Finland was ranked first for the fourth year that runs 7.8, followed by Denmark and Switzerland, with Iceland and the Netherlands also in the top five.

State rank researchers after analyzing data for three years. They see several categories including gross domestic product per capita, social safety nets, life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, resident generosity, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels.

Afghanistan is stacked badly in all six categories, defecting results come as did before the arrival of Taliban and despite 20 years and international investment. The US itself spent $ 145 billion for development in Afghanistan since 2002, according to a report by the General US Inspector for Afghanistan.

Gallup did a vote in 2018 and found some of the Afghans who they survey had a lot of hope for the future. Actually the majority say they have no hope for the future.

le increase in people who are forced under the poverty line, and uncertain construction are all combined into a devastating malaise, said Nasratullah analyst Haqpal. Most of the Afghans have high hopes after 2001, when the Taliban is overthrown and the US-led coalition declares victory,

People become poorer and poorer and more disappointed and more unhappy … That’s why 20 years of investment in Afghanistan fainted in just 11 days,” he refers to the light of the Taliban through the country before swept to Kabul in mid-August.

When Masoud Ahmadi, a carpenter returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan’s neighbor after the collapse of the 2001 Taliban, his hope for a bright future. He dreamed of opening a small furniture maker, maybe employing as many as 10 people. Instead, sitting on 6 feet dusty with a 10-foot workshop on Saturday, he said he opened only twice a week due to lack of work.

When the money comes to this country the government leadership takes the money and counts it as their personal money, and the people do not help change their lives better,” Ahmadi said.

The report warned that the amount of Afghanistan might fall further next year when measuring the level of happiness of Afghanistan after the arrival of the Taliban. The economy is currently in the autumn free as a group of struggling to switch from battle to government.
