What countries tried to stop the Taliban?
The Taliban, a Sunni Islamist group, ruled Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 until they were ousted by the American-led invasion after the Sept. 11 attacks. Based in the Pashtun region in the country's southeast, the group grew out of a student movement dedicated to purifying Afghanistan. - The Taliban now control between 65 and 85 percent of Afghanistan, a country where statistics are anyone's guess. (Even the population size of Afghanistan is uncertain: possibly 15, maybe 22 million. The U.S. Department of State's figure on war fatalities 1.5 million has not changed since 1985, although the armed conflict there is now in its 19th year.) For the last two years, the Taliban have been trying to win both a seat at the United Nations and international recognition. Thus far, only three countries have recognized the regime: Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. And even Pakistan is becoming embarrassed by its neighbor.
What are facts about the taliban?
(Introduction) Afghanistan, a troublesome country, struggle`s everyday to put an end to the production of the illegal drug, opium, that is being produced everyday under the Taliban`s control. The Taliban plays a major role in the continuance of the illegal opium production by supporting, encouraging, and demanding the continuance of the opium production, which leads to violence with the innocent people if they don't corporate with the Taliban.(Background History) The Taliban, a radically militant Islamic movement appeared in late 1994, and controlled 90 percent of Afghanistan between 1996-2001. The term "Taliban" comes from the Persian and Pashtu plural of the Arabic word Talib (Seeker of knowledge). Subsequently, they banned female access to education and employment, and imposed draconian Islamic laws that called for severe punishments, including the stoning death of proven adulterers and the amputating of thieves' hands and feet. Despite their strict beliefs and anti- drug profiling, the Taliban could not resist using opium to fund its activities, underlining the movement`s poor understanding and interpretation of Islamic law. The steepest challenge is the burgeoning drug trade, which funds not just the Taliban attacks, but has created a general climate of lawlessness throughout the country with violence. Opium has been cultivated and consumed by human beings since at least the third millennium. Afghanistan has been affected by opium since the twentieth century, when opium was spread throughout the Golden Crescent (Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan).Due to this, Afghanistan is accounting for 93 percent of the world's opium production. (International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, and Reins, Thomas)(Supporting) Over 18 years of internal warfare has left the country with extremepoverty, massive unemployment and little hope of an economy being rebuilt inthe near future, but The Taliban supports the production of opium by gaining thetrust of the farmers and civilians who grow the opium by giving out food, money,and cloths during the holy holiday of Ramadan. Once the Taliban gains the trustof the farmers and civilians, the Taliban can ask them to pretty much dowhatever they want for them. The lack of action to stop production is suspectedto be due to the opium industry's financial support to the Taliban militia. In orderto support the protection of the farmers and the opium, the Taliban buysweapons with some of the money they made from selling opium, to give to theirfellow Taliban to kill any militia. The farmers only see the money rolling in as theirpoppy crops disappear in wagons, which is promised by the Taliban becausethe farmers don't want to see the end result of their crop. (Willems, Peter.)(Encourages) One way the Taliban encourages the farmers to make opium forthem is they tell the farmers that if you switch your crops from wheat to opium,you can make more money and support your family better, but although the motivation behind the Taliban decision to allow the opium industry to flourish is unclear, what motivates the farmers is obvious. Over 18 years of internal warfare has left the country with extreme poverty, massive unemployment and little hope of an economy being rebuilt in the near future. The Taliban have also encouraged the farmers and civilians who grow the opium by telling them that they will protect them from the militia. All of this seems to work due to the fact that Afghanistan is accounting for 93 percent of the world`s opium production. (Willems, Peter.)(Demands) The Taliban demands the production of opium because without the money that they make from selling the opium, the Taliban wouldn't have as much money as they do today. Without the money, the Taliban cannot buy weapons, recruit new members, or even pay the farmers who grow the opium in the first place. If a farmer refuses to grow the opium, depending on how bad the Taliban need it, the Taliban will demand that they grow the opium for them or they will burn down their other crops or house, beat them, or even kill them. Because of this, most of the farmers do corporate with the Taliban because they don't want to be injured or killed. The harsh demands that the Taliban ask from the farmers do tire them out, which leads to the farmers not producing enough opium to fit the Taliban`s needs.(Conclusion) From this, Afghanistan struggles to put an end to the production of the illegal drug, opium, that is being produced under the Taliban`s control. The Taliban plays a major role in the continuance of the illegal opium production by supporting, encouraging, and demanding the continuance of the opium production. Only we can hope that one day, this will all come to an end.this was made by. the KoreanMaster ( Paul Wierzbicki) SO NO ONE COPY IT!
