Opening statement;
Afghanistan consists of mostly infertile surroundings and is isolated from the rest of central Asia. The governing group, The Taliban, have been at war within the area from 1978 to the present day. The Taliban is a cruel and unjust militia organisation that implements the tactics of segregation and oppression, specifically against women and children.

As a result of the poverty rate, numerous people have to sell their belongings in markets or on streets. Many shops and stalls are run by women before the Taliban took control and enforced segregated laws upon the movements of women, therefore decreasing the economic structure and leading the country deeper into poverty

The limited access to doctors and medical help makes it extremely common for Afghans to become dreadfully sick either physically or mentally. The medical help that was available would have had a substantial payment fee which ‘common people’ would not have been able to afford due to the low state of economy and high degree of poverty.

As well as it being quite secluded, the safety of this area is not only of a very low standard but is risking the lives of every single person inhabiting the area. If the Taliban is to continue leading this country, the religion and history of the area will be long forgotten, the economic structure will continue to fall and many more people will be sacrificed to the Taliban vicious ways. If the citizens of this region aren’t helped, the future of a single, fast-vanishing culture will be non-existent and in its place will grow an army of cruel and cold
The Taliban had a large number of restrictions placed on the rights of Afghan women. They were not allowed to work anywhere outside of their home. This meant that a woman could not be a professional in any type of job. Women also could not deal with any male shopkeeper or doctors.
The Taliban, also known as The Afghan Taliban, is a terrorist organization that occupies large areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Taliban rose to power after the Soviet Union withdrew in 1989. By 1996, an extremist group by the name The Taliban had established themselves, enforcing a rather strict and brutal for of Sharia law. This was the beginning of what would seem to be a lifetime of horror for much of Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as the United States and the United Nations.
The Taliban told women, “You will stay inside your homes at all times…If you go outside, you must be accompanied by a mahram, a male relative” (Hosseini 248). On top of that, “Girls [were] forbidden from attending school. All schools for girls [were] closed immediately” (Hosseini
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
The Taliban is a radical islamic extremist group notorious for their brutal enforcement of strict unfair shiara law on the people of Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been a hot spot for global conflict and fighting between western countries because of the actions of the Taliban. In real life The Taliban are known to beat and harass the people of Afghanistan by enforcing very harsh "islamic" laws, which are very unfair misinterpretations of the koran. Many restrictions were forced on to the people of Afghanistan. Many things such as "TV, internet, photography, and even music were banned"(Coksie).
Afghanistan has struggled so much in the past 20 years. Lots of people struggle socially because Afghans can’t read or write and that can take away communication. Also lots of women probably don’t have friends because girls can’t be outside without a burkas, lots of women just don’t go outside because the Taliban is everywhere and they
The land in Afghanistan is mountainous. Jagged, impassable ranges divide the country and make travel much more difficult. Due to these physical divisions, the people are extremely provincial,
Afghanistan has been for years a country struggling with authority issues. These struggles date back to the 16th century of the Mughal Empire and continues with the Taliban today. These historic struggles are responsible of the changing nature of political authority in this volatile region of our world. There have been many attempts from other groups to try and “conquer” the land but
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 is an Islamic fundamentalist political movement which came to power as Afghanistan’s government in 1996 but was overthrown by the U.S. after 9-11 in 2001. The official government put into power by the U.S. after the Taliban overthrow was headed by President Hamid Karzai, but he and his government mostly only had power in Kabul and Kandahar, urban cities. After the Taliban, the misogynistic Mujahedeen regained power in many rural parts of Afghanistan, where they forced women to stay indoors and constantly wear the burqa. Although the Mujahedeen oppose the Taliban, the two organizations are similar in many ways when it comes to women’s rights. The Taliban enforced Sharia law, which is strict Islamic law, according to the Taliban members’ interpretation of the Quran. According to this law, women have little to no rights. Women under the Taliban could never leave their houses unless they had a permit because of an emergency, and even then they had to be accompanied by a close male relative. Women were also forbidden from school and work. This was devastating for many women who didn’t have husbands supporting the family. Countless families were left completely impoverished with no income. On top of that, women were forced to wear the burqa, a garment that completely covers the body except a small screen for the eyes. Even though they had just lost their salary, and did not have enough money for food, numerous women had to buy these garments
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?
The beginning of an Islāmic group started to take over Afghanistan in 1996, after the Soviet Union left Afghanistan. This group is known as the Taliban. The Taliban’s mission is to make an Islāmic government in Afghanistan. The Taliban started with Islāmic students from Pakistan. Then in “September 1996 the Taliban seized control of Kabul (Afghanistan’s capital) and carried out a strict interpretation or explanation of Islāmic Law”(Hayes NP). The Taliban killed the Afghan president, Mohammed Najibullah in Kabul. That is when the Taliban took over Afghanistan. The Taliban controlled 95% of Afghanistan. Then once the Taliban had taken over Afghanistan, they started announcing their restrictions, that were harsh against women.
I don't like this being told what to do, when too do it and how. I am to scared to go outside the Taliban, they're always watching you. I know what they did to Father and I don't want that for me.
Afghanistan is an Islamic republic that is located near Pakistan. Kabul is the capital city and the country’s Chief of State is President Hamid Karzai. The country bears a population of 33.609 million people. It has been in war for three decades making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. The insecurity in the country has resulted in a large number of refugees. The current war that is going on began in 2001 by several terrorist groups such as Hezbi Islami.
The Taliban took over the country in terms of the composition of society, such as education, mosques, religions, and shrines (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). This group transformed Afghanistan and made it function how they wanted it to. The Taliban began to take over during Afghanistan’s civil war (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). This group eventually became involved in the drug trade in order to generate revenue to support itself (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). They provided training sanctions where propaganda also took place for soldiers who were not from Afghanistan (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). The Taliban was in charge of the military operations throughout Afghanistan and conducting terrorist attacks (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). It is known that
