Learn about the Taliban

 

The Taliban has resurfaced in the community. This is due to the fact that this organization, which has been active as an extremist terrorist organization in Afghanistan for some time, is trying to capture the capital Kabul and the relevant regime. From time to time we hear news about this organization. So what we are talking about today is the Taliban.

1. Emergence

Talib is the Arabic word for 'student'. Then we can take the meaning of the Taliban as a student organization. So this organization was officially started in 1994. It was led by 'Mulla Mohamed Omar' who is known as the founding leader of this organization. He founded a group of former students in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan. Gradually, the Taliban began to gain strength. At the time, Afghanistan was ruled by a pro-Russian regime. So the Taliban will gradually occupy about 90% of Afghanistan's territory by 2001.

3. Breakdown of control

This terrorist organization, which came to power very fast, is going to lose its power in an unexpected way. That was with the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in America. That attack was a very sensitive attack on America. So the Al Qaeda organization responsible for that attack became the main enemy of the United States. The United States has announced that Osama bin Laden, al-Qa'eda's leader, will remain in Afghanistan. Accordingly, it will immediately begin its military operations in Afghanistan. As a result, the United States expelled the Taliban from Kabul. After that Hamid Karzai will become the President. The Taliban then fled back to the Afghan highlands.

4. Taliban rules and religious beliefs

The Taliban has been a Muslim extremist organization since its inception. It seemed from the beginning that Muslim Sharia law in particular would become their basic law. In addition to Sharia law, Mullah Omar's rules became the rule of this organization. Alcohol, alcohol, music, television, and the Internet were banned by Taliban law. As mentioned earlier, women were barred from education and women from employment. Those who disobeyed these rules were severely punished. So there were not many people in Afghanistan who were brave enough to oppose them.

5. Human trafficking

A small group of top officials from the Taliban and Al Qaeda, which did not fully engage in human trafficking, joined in. Minority women in particular were abducted and trafficked as sex slaves. As a result, abducted women even resorted to suicide because death was better than sex slavery.

6. Violence against pagans

It is hard to imagine that an organization that used Sharia law in an extremist way would do justice to the secular people. They continued to unleash violence against communities, especially Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs. Criticizing the Taliban was a very risky business. They even forcibly prescribed special methods to distinguish non-Muslims in particular. Through it the pagan people were persecuted

7. Cultural genocide

Afghanistan is a country with a very good aesthetic culture. But the Taliban did not want such a culture at all. As a result, they were tempted to destroy all cultural values ​​in the country. In particular, the Taliban attacked the National Museum in 1992 and destroyed about 70% of its artefacts. Also in 2001 the Bamiyan Buddha statue was blown up with dynamite. In 1998, a public library was destroyed and more than 55,000 books were sold.
