Taliban

[busker]

I was in high school when the Taliban rolled into Afghanistan. I remember the hanging of Najibullah reported in the papers. And some years later, the Bamiyan Buddhas.
A harsh, brutal society. The Taliban do, unfortunately, represent the will of the Afghan people - or at least the Pashtun majority. Nothing else can explain its overnight recapture of everything.
Some places are just meant to be swamps.
