On this day (August 15) in the year 2021, Taliban rule began again in Afghanistan. After a two-decade-long struggle, the insurgent group Taliban has returned to power in Afghanistan.
After taking control of Kabul, the capital, including 26 of the country's 34 provinces, the interior minister of Afghanistan said that he was ready to hand over power peacefully. Soon after, President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Since then, Afghanistan has been ruled by the Taliban.
The Taliban, which began as a radical religious campaign in the early 1990s, became powerful as the Taliban four years later. In September 1995, the Taliban took control of Herat province, which borders Iran. In 1996, the Taliban took control of the capital Kabul and removed President Rabbani and established the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
By 1998, the Taliban had taken control of 90 percent of Afghanistan. But the Taliban was overthrown in December 2001 after the US attacked the US in response to the Al-Qaeda organization's attack on the US on September 11, 2001.
