Taliban In Afghanistan

This article is an informative piece on the conflicts that Afghan people are enduring due to the Taliban taking over their government.

As many of us may already know Afghan citizens have been enduring much violence and conflict within their country for quite some time. On August 15th, 2021, the Taliban soldiers barged into the capital. Soon after their former president, Ashraf Ghani fled the country, the entire government fell along with his desertion. Previously, it had taken the Taliban a length of ten years to be able to completely conquer the country. Without the president’s support and help the government crumbled and Taliban stepped into their place to rule. The Taliban are a Pashtun group of Islamic fundamentalists, as well as militant islamist. They are also believed to be an extremely sophisticated group of people. There main goal is to spread and emphasize their beliefs and cultural differences upon other people. Whether it is forceful or not.

Their main goal for conquering Afghanistan specifically was to make it their safe haven for enemy groups attempting to launch attacks at them. At first, they were motivated to become a group within the suffering some Afghan people were forced to face. This group was morphed from unhappy, rival Afghan people who formed themselves into a group. They were all mutually against the government and the government’s actions. Later, over time they grew and became an immense terrorist group known as, the Taliban. They are planning to continue growing as a group to enhance their power and forcefully take over more to convert others without them having a choice.

The Impact On Afghan Women

There have been multiple different attacks in Afghanistan that have taken place due to the Taliban. Leaving hundreds of Afghan people in the streets for dead. Women, children, men, everyone are facing the consequences of these suicide bombings. The Taliban as well make it their number one priority to create a strict dominated like society where their rules only apply, and no one has a say. There is absolutely no democracy, everything is forced upon the citizens living there. First and for most the Taliban are a highly misogynistic group. Many of their strict rules are against the rights of women. Any women of age are forced to dress completely covered from head to toe, with only having their eyes being shown.

You are required to be covered completely as a woman starting at the age of 10 years old. Furthermore, one you have passed this age you are not able to seek any further education. If you are happened to be seen not covering yourself in public or seeking education illegally, then you would be prosecuted, imprisoned, and punished. Women in Afghanistan are allowed no fundamental human rights. There is no choice of being able to seek an education or job. There rights are as well taken away for being able to express themselves and their opinions are silenced.

Ongoing Conflicts

The Taliban are an extremely dictating group of people. They have put a complete ban over anyone watching any sort of television, cinema or online screening, as well as music. They have as well made it forbidden to seek and practice any other religion other than Islam. If you are to do any of these acts then you are faced to be prosecuted, imprisoned etc. Overall, the Taliban are a very strict and misogynist group whose main goal is to conquer everything by spreading their beliefs and forcefully making people practice Islam. They twist around the sayings of Islam and make their own sense of the religion to make their acts justifiable, even though nothing of what they are doing is justified at all in Islam.
