Human Rights in Afghanistan

The Taliban had ruled Afghanistan from between 1996 to 2001. The primary act the world didn't like about Afghanistan was their treatment to the woman and their involvement in terrorism. They are represented by a huge forces of armed men. In 1994, a group of well-trained men were chosen by Pakistan and sent to Taliban.Their role was to Protect a fleet of men who were trying to open a trade route from Pakistan to central

In Afghanistan, Women’s rights were very denied and completely dismissed. Women were treated horribly. They were beaten, abused verbally, and even killed. Under the rule of the Taliban, women were better off staying in the safety of their own homes.

“I am woman hear me roar”! A song written by Helen Reddy in 1972 is not often a phrase chanted by Afghan women. The plight of the women of Afghanistan to obtain rights began early in history and continues today. Religion and culture have affected Afghanistan throughout time. Today in Afghanistan, ninety-nine percent are Muslims ("Religion in Afghanistan - Islam”). Muslim is the term used to define a person that participates in the act of obedience, acceptance, or surrender. Therefore a “Muslim is a person who submits to the will of God, or a follower of Islam” (Manisha) and can be seen in their lifestyle and choice of dress, the burqa which is outerwear that covers the entire body, except the eyes and hands, in addition to their religious

The Taliban are a part of history and people should be aware of who they are and what they do. The Taliban has evolved over the years and unfortunately have grown stronger over the years. They started off as a group of students and it is sad to know that these students who could have started with a good future ended up being a part of a terrorist group. They think they are doing right because they may read the Quran but they only focus on the words and passages they want to hear and say to defend their terrorist group without reading the passage or verse fully and trying to understand the real words of Allah. The Taliban have been around for a long time and as a result the Taliban havetaken over territory such as Afghanistan and many others. One of the territories the Taliban has is Afghanistan and the government is seen as corrupted because they help the Taliban. Corruption may exist anywhere but would the Afghan government be supporting the Taliban with weapons because they want to or because of fear?

For over 2 centuries, Afghanistan has known virtually no time without war. Beginning around 326 B.C. with the conquests of Alexander the Great, to the Persians, British, Russians and most recently, America and our NATO allies, Afghanistan has been cultivated into the country that it is today through a trial by fire. Regardless of this relentless onslaught of foreign military power, the Afghan people have tirelessly defended their homeland with no outside power ever being able to subdue them completely. Following the withdrawal of the Soviet Union in 1989, the country fell into civil war, torn even further apart by fiercely dedicated tribal warlords. This power vacuum led to the rise of a group called the Taliban. Led by a one eyed man

The Taliban has some of the most frightening rules for Afghan people: A kite seller will be imprisoned for three days, the owner of a house will be punished if women are heard singing during a wedding, no images or photographs are to be posted in public places, there is to be no equipment that produces the joy of music, and even Christmas cards are to be banned. The list goes on and on with the harsh rules and punishment that face the people of Afghanistan. The Taliban claims that they are following the strict codes of Islam, but now it seems that the group is just dictating the country to whatever they seem suitable. The Taliban customs personal would gouge out the images of women's eyes on shampoo bottles, and merchants would have to sell the product with black tape over the women image or face a beating and time in jail. The group of men that run the Taliban regime amaze me on how everything is played out in Afghanistan. The men want a bid into the U.N. but can't even have a country where people aren't afraid to walk down the streets in fear of being stoned or shot to death.

One of the most radical religious groups in the world today are known as the Taliban. The Taliban is a “fundamentalist Muslim group that controlled much of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001” (Maley NP). The Taliban took power after the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. When the Soviet Union left Afghanistan, the Taliban rose to power and took much control of the country. The Taliban leader is Mullah Mohammad Omar. The Taliban in Afghanistan are an Islāmic group, that uses harsh rules against Afghanistan’s women and helped attacked the United States.

Problems that the Taliban have caused, in real life, have impacted the way that many innocent people in various Arab countries used to live--long ago, life was delectable to many. People lived in a state of tranquility, and could live accompanied by one word: freedom. However, later on, and not long ago, the Taliban created a set of strict, over-the top rules that have not only completely

There was an extreme group called Afghanistan’s government, Also known as The Taliban. They were protecting

Taliban means students and this name was chosen to symbolize how they were going to learn from their ancestors and take back their land and prevent it from being taken again. THey then engaged in Jihad, or “Holy war”, to take back afghanistan. Not long after the assault began they regained control of most of the upper part of afghanistan. Other factions had also risen and a war of multiple fronts started and thats how it was so quick to regain control. The area of Afghanistan was once again split into 3 major territories and completely obliterated. The Taliban then became a superpower, in relative terms to its opponents, and began to take control of all the Afghanistan territory. Uniting it, but at a cost. It promised to have a strict interpretation of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. But soon became corrupt and only became abusive to women and children and severely disadvantaged the males. To fund this foul government they allowed terrorists to take refuge, one such group was al-Qaeda. Headed by Osama bin-Laden, he began to lead the Taliban government from behind the scenes and he, along with interpretations from the Quran, was that the

The Taliban founded in the year of 1994 by a man named Mullah Mohammad Omar. It originated in Afghanistan and was created with the purpose of destroying the foreign military in Afghanistan and to reestablish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under strict Sharia Law ("Taliban Narrative"). The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would then be brought back into play in the year of 1996. However, the event that led to the creation of the Taliban happened almost a decade earlier in the year of 1979. In 1979 the Soviets began invading Afghanistan, they were there for about ten years and then withdrew late in the year of 1988 and early 1989. Mujahedeen forces then removed the soviet government in the year of 1992 and led to rivalry between groups. A year

Imagine a community being perfectly happy living life just how the people would like and having the freedom to do what they will, now imagine this freedom being taken away from them and along with it, the people's happiness, all because a group of people want you to live like they do. Doesn't seem too happy anymore, does it? In the book, Under the Persimmon Tree by Suzanne Fisher Staples, this exact incident happened to the protagonist Najmah. Although in the book, the Taliban is portrayed as a cruel group of people who make unreasonable rules and discriminate against women, the book only mentions some less harsh events than the ones that happened in the reality of Afghanistan.

The Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist group that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001 (Laub). They have impacted the culture in Afghanistan as well as many other aspects of it. The Taliban has certain values that they want to be enforced in Afghanistan. These values have changed since 1996 when they first took control of the country. The Taliban took control after they drove the soviets out from their country. During the time they ruled Afghanistan, they changed several aspects of daily life and imposed several conservative Muslim beliefs. Some effects of their rule are still seen in modern day Afghanistan. They are still trying to take back control over their country and drive Western ideas out. Some aspects of life the Taliban changed

Khaled Hosseini displays these ridiculous rules in his novel, The Kite Runner, through the eyes of a man who spent his childhood living in Afghanistan. Because most of the storyteller’s ties were to Afghanistan, the reader finds out about how devastating the rise of the Taliban was to Afghan citizens. They saw a once thriving country free fall into one that has a corrupt government, and an overall depressed state of mind. (Afghanistan Online)

Fazlullah was the leader of the Taliban and the first thing he did to gain power over the people was get them to like him and believe in him. He told people that he was an Islamic reformer and an interpreter of Quran. He created a radio station for the people to listen to. On this radio station he would cry about his love for the country and would talk about the “good habits” he wanted the people to adopt. He would also use the radio station to persuade the people to abandon their practices because he claimed they were bad for the country. A man named Shah Douran would also come on to the station and tell the people to stop listening to music, watching movies and dancing because those things were all “sinful acts” and those acts are what caused
