Afghanistan, the main center of Buddhism once, is now struggling for basic rights and infrastructure. 20 years of long war and shameful departure of United States from the country after handing over the power to Taliban – Afghanistan is still under attack.
When Taliban ousted the regime, nobody dare to come in-between. Much was said from Taliban i.e. equality, rights to women, right to education but everything under the Sharia. Still people across the globe is awaiting a peaceful Afghanistan.
Historical Context
When Al-Qaida attacked World Trade Centers and other establishments in United States on 9th September 2001 – a new war against terror started. Taliban supported Al-Qaida in that war, so without any straight involvement in International Terrorism, Taliban became a potent force of repression and oppression.
A Pro-US government was installed in Afghanistan but Taliban is always in desperation to end such governance in the country. Taliban offensive strategy to acquire Afghanistan started in 01st May 2021 and they gained complete control on the country on 15th August 2021.
