The Taliban Government and its Operation I. The Taliban is the government currently controlling Afghanistan.
The Pakistani government basically started the Taliban in the early
1990's with the hope to have an ally. Since its construction, the
Taliban has caused a lot of problems with the United Nations. I. b. UNC Library catalog: Academic Universe Lexis-Nexis: Search engine on Web <http://www.google.com/>: II.

The Taliban government, which currently reigns over Afghanistan, was not always in place. Located in the Middle Eastern part of the world, Afghanistan has suffered the turmoil of
war with Russia, new government, and a civil war. At war with Russia for much of the late 1980's and early 1990's,
Afghanistan was in desperate need of leadership. Many of the country's refugees fled to Pakistan during the war with Russia (2). Pakistan, a nation struggling itself with foreign relations saw Afghanistan as an opportunity. As the war with Russia carried on, Pakistanis made plans for a government they could place in Afghanistan (2). Pakistan made schools for the Afghan refugees called Madrassas, which literally
means school for the study of Islam (1). The Pakistanis also gave the refugees weapons and taught them how to fight in a war (2). On September 27, 1996, the Taliban took over Afghanistan's capital, Kabul (1). Ever since its conception in Afghanistan, the Taliban has been a fundamentalist government, keeping a very literal interpretation of their religious book, the Koran (1). Through its interpretation, the Taliban has in many ways alienated itself from the rest of the world and given harbor to Osama bin Laden, one of the world's most feared terrorists (3). Bin Laden is seen as a hero by the Afghanis for his accomplishments in the country's war with Russia, and though they have been asked and even told many times by other countries to exile bin Laden, the Taliban refuses, saying giving bin Laden up is denying the Islamic religion (3). After attacks on the United States, the U.S. government has given the Taliban an ultimatum to either give up bin Laden or be bombed, adding to the turmoil that has plagued the Taliban government since its beginning.
