Detailed explanation-1: -In late 2001, the United States and its close allies invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban government. The invasion’s aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda, which had executed the September 11 attacks, and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban government from power.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Taliban are a predominantly Pashtun, Islamic fundamentalist group that returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021 after waging a twenty-year insurgency.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United States went to Afghanistan in 2001 to wage a necessary war of self-defense. On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists attacked our country. They were able to plan and execute such a horrific attack because their Taliban hosts had given them safe haven in Afghanistan.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Taliban has reinstated its Ministry of Vice and Virtue to oversee such matters, which range from severe restrictions on women’s role in society to a ban on music and dress code for men and women. The current de facto regime, announced in September 2021, is supposed to be an interim administration.
