The scenario

Even before the involvement of the U.S, Afghanistan was in a persistent state of war for over 20 years. 

The Soviet army had overrun Afghanistan in 1979 after a military coup to change the governance. Countries like Pakistan, U.S, China, and Saudi Arabia supported the fight called a movement of resistance called mujahideen. However, the groups of Soviets revoked the civil war, it continued. In the turmoil that led out, the Taliban vaulted up. 

Until 1996, they ruled the country. The West lived in unconsciousness to the rule of Sharia enforced by them, which were public executions and beheadings. In America, nearly 3000 people were killed on the 11th of September by their attacks. The perpetrator of the events of bombings in the U.S is Al Qaeda, who is the leader of Osama Bin Laden, he was protected and favored by the Taliban, and hence the U.S invaded Afghanistan.

Ever since the attack of the U.S on Afghanistan, the rule of the Taliban broke down, and the involved warlords and attackers ran away to the borders of Pakistan and not vanished from there. 

What is the current status there? 

Currently, the Taliban has gained in the north of Afghanistan, revoking many districts around there. They reported saying it was hardly a fight as the U.S gave a final verdict to withdraw from Afghanistan. President Joe Biden declared in April mid about America’s end to ‘ forever war.’ They have to depart before the deadline of 11th September. 

By the gains, the Taliban now has custody on the primary trade route, the direct border traversing Tajikistan. They have the Doshi district because the road which connects northern Afghanistan and Kabul passes through the community. 

Afghanistan’s ethnic group has a stronghold in the North. They helped the US invasion but took away the Taliban from ruling for around 20 years and have ruled since that time. The Taliban’s traditional group had strongholds on the east and south of the country called the Pashtuns. 

Now the government is worried and launched national mobilization where. The volunteers are armed. The militias call a notice that the security forces are weak. The Senior member of the US defense of democracies, Bill Roggio, says it’s desperation. 

Many districts are abandoned, and hence the president of Afghan Ashraf Ghani is into welcoming back Bismillah Khan, who was removed for corruption to build the defense.

 In the 1990s war, the civilians were killed cause of the battle led out for acquiring power which killed 50,000 people and destroyed Kabul, and a similar conflict is expected this time.

Torek Farhadi, the former advisor, stated that national mobilization is like a recipe for any violence in the future. He said that the government has vowed to pay at the earliest as there is a complaint that the salaries are delayed. 

With the corruption taking over the situation again, he has suspected that all the funds meant for the militias will be gone, and the local warlords and commanders would turn against Ghani in no time. Which ultimately results in chaos.
