Afghanistan Presentation

Title: Formation of the Taliban

Question: Make these statements longer and professional

Taliban originally emerged following the Afghan War (1978–92). A huge chunk of the country was regularly the victim of extortion and bloodshed by local warlords and militias since the new government in Afghanistan was unable to bring about civil order outside of Kabul.

In 1994 a group of former fighters, associated with a madrasah in a village of Kandahār province, successfully subdued a local warlord and began pacifying nearby areas.

The group swiftly developed into the organization today known as the Taliban, enjoying support from the general public thanks to its assurance of security and fervor for religion. The Taliban effectively controlled around two thirds of the nation by the end of 1996, when they took control of Kabul, the nation's capital.

Answer:

Taliban originally emerged following the Soviet-Afghan War (1978–1992) which left Afghanistan largely in ruins and without any proper form of governance. This resulted in much of the country being regularly the victim of extortion, violence, and bloodshed by local warlords and militias as the new government was unable to bring about civil order outside of Kabul.

In 1994, a group of former fighters from a madrasah (Islamic religious school) in the village of Kandahār Province successfully subdued a local warlord and began pacifying nearby areas. This group quickly developed into what is now known as the Taliban, who gained support from the public due to their relentless pursuit of order and religious zealotry. By the end of 1996, they had taken control of Kabul, the nation's capital, effectively subduing two thirds of the country.
