Taliban
The Taliban is a fundamentalist militant group that emerged in Afghanistan in the 1990s, known for its strict interpretation of Islamic law. After being ousted from power in 2001 by U.S.-led forces, the group gradually regained control and ultimately seized power again in August 2021. Since then, the Taliban has faced international scrutiny and criticism for its policies, especially regarding women's rights and media freedom.
