    Taliban's presence in Afghanistan

    Taliban's presence in Afghanistan
  • The Taliban's history in Afghanistan dates back to the 1990s when Afghanistan was still dominated by Russia.

    After a civil war, Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 1996.

    Sheltering Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda terrorists, led to its crushing by a US-led invasion in 2001.

    Since then, Taliban fighters have been slowly building an insurgency against US-led forces and the US-supported Afghanistan government.

    Escalating Taliban attacks
  • The Taliban has escalated attacks throughout Afghanistan, underscoring the worsening security situation since NATO forces ended their combat mission in 2014.

    Afghan forces are seeking to deter a potential Taliban take-over of Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand.

    The Taliban have also closed in on Kunduz, which they briefly seized last year in their biggest military victory since the 2001 US invasion.
