As we mark the second anniversary, on 15 August 2021, of the Taliban’s resurgence to power, a disconcerting narrative is surfacing, suggesting the Taliban are harbingers of security and stability NasimiShabnam and pforzheimera for ipaperviews 🖊️
A more appropriate narrative would emerge from a UN mission in Afghanistan that spent more time with the Afghan people than with the de facto authorities , a disconcerting narrative is surfacing, suggesting the Taliban are harbingers of security and stability.not only misrepresents the ground realities and the risks to regional peace, but also dangerously disparages the unspeakable atrocities committed by this radical regime.
Let’s set the record straight. The very thought of attributing improvements to the group that fomented unceasingFrom the suicide bombing at Herat’s mosque in March 2017, claiming more than 30 lives, to the January 2018 siege of Kabul’s Intercontinental Hotel, leading to a loss of at least 25 lives including foreigners, and a campaign of targeted assassinations of civil society leaders in 2020-2021, the Taliban’s track record is replete with horror stories.
Further cases include the ghastly ambulance blast in Kabul in January 2018 that killed at least 100 people, and the coordinated onslaught in Ghazni in August 2018, where 290 souls were lost, including civilians and security forces. To talk about “safety” in the context of the very group which has spawned such violence, terror, and oppression is a grim irony. In essence, the Taliban has stopped the terrorist attacks of their own making. Extending them a hero’s medal for quelling the flames they started isn’t merely wrong, it is a stark injustice to the people of Afghanistan and to the foreign troops who sacrificed their lives fighting for a democratic and peaceful Afghanistan.
