In this week's episode we discuss all things Taliban. Created in 1994 by local village mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban would eventually become the governing body in Afghanistan in 1996. The Taliban's lack of experience led to a rocky tenure as the governing body before their leadership ultimately fled to Pakistan in the wake of 9/11. The Taliban became an insurgent movement, taking advantage of the corruption and ineffectiveness of the Afghan government, which would help position them to potentially once again become the ruling body in Afghanistan in 2021.
