Ugh, this is so sad

... thousands of people having to leave their homes because of war

. I mean, I get that you gotta secure the area and all that, but can't they just find a way to bring the Taliban guys to the table instead of kicking everyone out?
It's like, these families have been living there for years, building their lives and whatnot. And now they're just being forced to move because some security operation is trying to "root out" whatever's going on in the area. But who gets to decide what's "rooting out" anyway?
And don't even get me started on the humanitarian aspect of this whole thing... aid and assistance from local authorities and NGOs, yeah, that's great and all, but at the end of the day, it's still a bunch of people who have to leave behind everything they love because of some security operation. It's just so... human

.
I mean, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out, but one thing for sure is that I'm gonna be keeping an eye on it from afar
