Taliban. The Taliban emerged in the early 1990s in Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the support of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F). The group's founders, including Mullah Mohammed Omar and Mullah Dadullah, were influenced by the Deobandi movement and the Pashtunwali code. The Taliban's rise to power was facilitated by the Soviet-Afghan War and the subsequent Afghan Civil War (1992-1996).

History

The Taliban's history is closely tied to the Soviet-Afghan War and the Afghan Civil War (1992-1996). The group's early leaders, including Mullah Mohammed Omar and Mullah Dadullah, were influenced by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) and the Deobandi movement. The Taliban seized power in Kabul in 1996, with the support of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F). The group's rule was marked by the imposition of strict Sharia law, the suppression of women's rights, and the destruction of Buddhas of Bamiyan. The Taliban also provided support to Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, which led to the September 11 attacks and the subsequent War in Afghanistan (2001-2021).

The Taliban's ideology is based on the Deobandi movement and the Pashtunwali code.

The Taliban's ideology emphasizes the importance of Sharia law, the suppression of women's rights, and the promotion of Islamic education. The group has also been influenced by the Wahhabi movement and the Salafi movement, which have contributed to its anti-Shia and anti-Sufi stance. The Taliban's ideology has been criticized by Human Rights Watch, the United Nations, and the European Union.

The Taliban's organization is based on a decentralized structure, with a strong emphasis on Sharia law and the Pashtunwali code.
