Siege Of Hazarajat 1997
The Siege of Hazarajat began in November 1996 and ended in May-July 1996 by anti Talban uprisings The uprisings were inspired by the revolt in Mazar-i-Sharif In ten weeks of fighting between May and July, the Taliban suffered over 3,000 killed or wounded, and some 3,600 became POWs, while 250 Pakistanis had been killed and 550 captured The morale of the Taliban was extremely down after the lost Battles of Mazar-i-Sharif (1997–1998) and they were looking to replenish their losses by recruiting from the madrasas in Pakistan and Afghanistan
