Taliban
Islamist militant organization in control of Afghanistan
The Taliban, which also refers to itself by its state name, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is an Afghan political and militant movement with an ideology comprising elements of the Deobandi movement of Islamic fundamentalism. It ruled approximately 75% of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, before it was overthrown by an American invasion after the September 11 attacks carried out by al-Qaeda. Following a 20-year insurgency and the departure of coalition forces, the Taliban recaptured Kabul in August 2021, overthrowing the American-ruled Islamic Republic, and now controls all of Afghanistan. The Taliban has been condemned by the western world for restricting human rights, including women's rights to work and have an education. Apart from Russia, the Taliban government is not recognized by the international community.
