Additionally, efforts should be made to boost the economy and create job opportunities for citizens.

Another potential solution is to address the limitations on education, especially for women and girls. Ensuring equal access to education can contribute to creating a skilled and educated workforce, which can in turn benefit the country’s development.

It is also crucial to address the human rights violations and restrictions that have been placed on women, as these violations have contributed to brain drain among the affected population.

Lastly, building a more inclusive government that represents all tribes and is acceptable to the people of Afghanistan can help restore trust and confidence in the country. This can encourage talented individuals to stay and contribute to the development of their homeland.
