Taliban
Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist terror outfit originating in Afghanistan, waging war in the country in the form of an insurgency. Taliban emerged in the aftermath of the Afghan Civil War in 1994 and had established dominance in Afghanistan until they were ousted in 2001 after the American invasion.
Taliban has been condemned internationally for brutal treatment of many Afghans especially women. The UN has accused Taliban of starving the Afghan population by denying them UN food supplies and burning vast areas of fertile land. In areas they controlled the Taliban issued edicts which forbade women from being educated and girls were forced to leave schools and colleges.
Taliban has also been accused of sheltering terrorists that were involved in the 9/11 terror attacks and have claimed responsibility for multiple terror attacks within the country as well as outside. Post 9/11 the group has focused more on pushing forward their political and ideological goals by expanding links to other terror outfits like Al-Qaida and more recently ISIS.
