In 2001, after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the U.S. government demanded that the Taliban (at the time the government of Afghanistan) to hand over Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda the terrorist organization that carried out the attacks. The Taliban essentially refused and the U.S., with the sanction of both NATO and the UN, invaded and aided rebel factions which had been fighting the Taliban for several years. In less than 30 days, by November, 2001, the Taliban had been ousted from power. Canadian soldiers, specifically the commandos of our special forces unit Joint Task Force 2, were in Afghanistan from the very beginning. In 2002 a battlegroup from 3rd battalion PPCLI was sent to Kandahar to aid in hunting down remnants of the Taliban and al Qaeda. In 2003, Canada began participating in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Kabul and sent more than 1,000 soldiers at a time on 6-month rotations to the Afghan capital. In 2006, Canada agreed to send a battle group and brigade headquarters to Kandahar for the transition from U.S. control (operation enduring freedom) to NATO control (ISAF) and has maintained a fighting presence there ever since. Canadian troops are responsible for security and fighting Taliban insurgents in Kandahar province, in cooperation with British, Dutch and other coalition forces.
Why can't girls in Afghanistan go outside by themselves?
Women in Afganistan under the Taliban rule could not go out in public without their husband or close male relative. The answer is complicated in the sence that The taliban which consisted of Islamic exstremists who believed that women were 2nd class and did not deserve rights and were only there to produce children and please their husband. Therefore there were an extensive list of laws which women must abide and some which continue to this day. One law of such was that women could not go out in public without there husbands or close male relative because it was thought that they would attract men whom they would have affairs against there husbands this is not the sole reason but this like many have no logic and in some cases perhaps like this don't have a reason at all unless you understand the Talibans way of thinking in a complex ideaology
