The Taliban controlled 90% of Afghanistan in 2001After the CIA staged the over throw of the the democratically government in the 1950's.
Then the invasion of the Soviets.
And now the current invasion/occupation by the U.S.
Is it any wonder that Afghanistan has severe economic and social problems.
The only group in the last 50 years that stabilized the country and brought hope to the Afghan people is the Taliban.
Stability? how so? Afghanistan was locked in a civil war in 2001 when we invaded it.![]()
The Northern Alliance only controlled the very northern 10% part of the country and was slowly loosing ground to the Taliban.
So you agree with his point that a civil war was ongoing.
