They don’t do anything is more accurate. They could be a wealthy country if they they were a country instead of a bunch of 14th century tribes.

Afghanistan actually has masses of valuable minerals, from copper to iron to rare earths and more, but mining is beyond their ability.

That is rather the point: they are too unstable to be economically viable, much less interesting to any occupying force.
