Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Taliban’s secretive war against IS
The Taliban, or the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a political movement and military organization that now rules Afghanistan. It is estimated that they have about 75,000 members in a country whose population is about 40 million. Their ideology is a combination of Sharia Islamic law and militant Islamism. They claim the war against foreign powers is over and they have brought peace and security to Afghanistan. Now, the militants-turned ruling body is facing attacks by insurgents, called the Islamic States, locally called Daesh, a militant Sunni Islamist group that spread in Syria, Iraq, and surrounding countries. The group has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United Nations. Even the Taliban, ex-militant, accuses IS of heretical extremists. They became active in Afghanistan especially after the Taliban took control with notorious acts including assassination, bombing, and beheading. For outsiders, the fight between the Taliban and IS sounds like an inter-factional conflict. But for the Taliban, IS is now an extreme insurgent that is posing a threat to their country.
