Most of the houses of people from Panjshir valley in Kabul are looted, destroyed and the residents are either killed or imprisoned. Unlawful killings & disappearances- Ever since Taliban 2.0 has taken over, there is no control on killings and forced disappearances of people, especially the ones who were related to erstwhile Afghan Armed forces or its intelligence or were working for US-led coalition.Ī large number of people from other tribes like Hazara, Shia, Tajik and Uzbek are also targeted and they are killed at the smallest suspicion. The Taliban even abolished the ministry of women’s affairs.Ħ. Most educated women have left Afghanistan while others are restricted to their houses. In today’s Afghanistan, women or girls do not have any right to study, take employment, gather peacefully at a place or even walk outside their house without a male escort. Even their ethnic Pashtunwali code restricts beating or ill-treating women but the Taliban has even defied it when it comes to giving rights to women. Women’s rights, education, and their status in Taliban government- The most important reason why Taliban 2.0 failed to get the attention of the world is their policy toward women. Taliban’s proximity with various Pakistan-based anti-India terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad etc also proves this fact.ĥ. It shows that although visibly Taliban is reluctant to divulge its proximity with terrorist groups, actually it is harbouring them. However, their cover was blown recently when Al Qaeda chief Ayman- al-Zawahiri was killed in a US drone strike in the heart of capital Kabul where he was staying in the house of a senior Taliban leader. In the last one year, they avoided speaking on the Al Qaeda issue. Label of being a terrorist organisation- Taliban 1.0 was particularly known as a terrorist organisation and was active in support of Al Qaeda.
Taliban has been asking for money kept in foreign countries by its erstwhile government but there is no assurance that this money will not be used in terror activities and thus things remain grim.Ĥ. Today Afghanistan is facing a severe food crisis and there are inputs of large-scale deaths due to famine which remain unreported due to media censorship.Īlthough countries like India have supported wholeheartedly by supplying food grains, medicines and other essential items, the situation remains grim as a large portion of these supplies are utilised in feeding large Taliban forces.Īs per the world food program, only 2 per cent of the Afghan population has enough food to survive and 50 per cent of its children below 8 years are malnourished. Humanitarian and financial crisis - Afghanistan's economy has been destroyed in the last five decades of continuous war and it is now dependent upon the grants or money received from other countries for its survival. Despite lacking proper recognition, Taliban 2.0 has been able to achieve a big milestone as compared to the previous Taliban 1.0.ģ. Many other countries like India and a few European countries have also started talking to the Taliban and deputed their representatives to deal with their leaders. Countries like Russia, Pakistan, China, Iran & Kazakhstan have given unofficial recognition to the Taliban government however proper legitimacy is still far away. like earlier time, now Taliban is sending its leaders and spokespersons like Amir Khan Muttaqi to various countries who have been successful to some extent. Diplomatic relations with other countries - Taliban knew that if it has to rule over Afghanistan for a long time, it needs to have legitimacy and good relations with other countries are a must in this quest. This has paved the way for a majorly uninterrupted rule of the Taliban.Ģ. Today, nearly all of the warlords have taken asylum in neighbouring countries and thus, their core fighters have either joined Taliban/ISKP or have disappeared. For several thousands of years, they were the ones which caused major challenges for any king/government and thus the first thing they did was to oust the warlords from the Afghan territories. Ouster of warlords – Taliban were quick to understand that the primary reason for turbulence in the past governments of Afghanistan were the warlords.
Let us analyse the one-year rule of Taliban 2.0 in Afghanistan.ġ.
