What is Afghan Taliban?

The Afghan Taliban, officially known as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a militant group that emerged in the early 1990s during the Afghan civil war. The Taliban rose to prominence and established its control over much of Afghanistan by the mid-1990s. The group’s strict interpretation of Islamic law and harsh enforcement of its principles drew international attention and criticism.

In 2001, following the 9/11 attacks, the United States, with international coalition support, launched a military intervention in Afghanistan to dismantle the Taliban regime. The invasion aimed to eliminate the Taliban’s safe haven and remove the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, which was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, from Afghanistan. The Taliban regime was quickly toppled, but the group did not disappear entirely.

Over the years, the Taliban has engaged in an insurgency against the Afghan government and international forces, seeking to regain control of the country. The conflict has been marked by ongoing violence, with the Taliban controlling or contesting various parts of Afghanistan.


Efforts have been made to negotiate a political settlement to the conflict, and talks have taken place between the Taliban and the Afghan government, facilitated by international actors. In 2020, the United States and the Taliban reached an agreement in Doha, Qatar, which included provisions for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

In August 2021, the Taliban seized control of Kabul and much of the country as the U.S. withdrew its forces. This development marked a significant shift in the balance of power, leading to concerns about the future of Afghanistan and its people. The international community has been closely watching the situation, and diplomatic efforts continue to address the evolving political landscape in Afghanistan.

What is Durrand Line?

The Durand Line is the international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, established in the late 19th century. It was demarcated in 1893 by Sir Mortimer Durand, who was the foreign secretary of British India, and Abdur Rahman Khan, the then Amir of Afghanistan.

The Durand Line has been a source of historical and geopolitical significance, and its legacy continues to impact the region. The demarcation was part of the broader geopolitical dynamics during the “Great Game,” a 19th-century competition between the British and Russian empires for influence in Central Asia.

The agreement drew a line through the Pashtun tribal areas, dividing the Pashtun ethnic group between what is now Afghanistan and Pakistan. Over the years, the border has been a source of tension and disputes between the two countries, with Afghanistan at times rejecting the legitimacy of the Durand Line and claiming some of the territories on the Pakistani side.

The Pashtun population on both sides of the Durand Line has historical and cultural ties that predate the establishment of the border. As a result, the border has been a point of contention, and some Pashtun nationalist movements have advocated for its revision or removal.

The Durand Line remains a complex and sensitive issue in the region, with implications for the relationships between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as for the broader stability of South Asia. The border has been a topic of discussion in various international forums and negotiations, but a comprehensive resolution has yet to be achieved.
