taliban
The Taliban, which means "students" in the Pashtic language, is a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist political movement and military organization in Afghanistan, currently holding power in the country. Founded in the early 1990s, the Taliban emerged from the Pakistani-sponsored madrassas during the Afghan civil war. It ruled most of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, enforcing a strict form of Sharia law. The group is known for its harsh treatment of women and its destruction of cultural artifacts. Following the 2001 US-led invasion, they became an insurgent group and regained control of Afghanistan in 2021 after the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
