[1]\nA US report states that the Taliban and other armed groups recruit and use child soldiers in Afghanistan. [5]\n\nWHAT THIS MEANS FOR AFGHANISTAN\nThe Taliban's reported use of child soldiers, as noted in a US report, undermines stability in a country with a Country Instability Index score of 60 of 100. [5][E1]\nUNICEF's call to end child marriage highlights ongoing human rights concerns in a country where the most severe government travel advisory is Do Not Travel. [1][E2]\n\nKEY RISKS\nAfghanistan's link to 80 US OFAC and Canada SEMA sanctions designations poses a risk of further economic isolation. [E3]\n\nWATCH ITEMS\nWhether neighboring countries will shift their stance on Pakistan's strikes against the Taliban. [2]\nThe outcome of Shabana Basij-Rasikh's $2.5 million Oxford scholarship fund for Afghan women. [4]",
