Afghans may have dominated the global headlines in recent times after the Taliban took control of central power.

What has left many bemused is a standing Afghan army which didn't put up any form of resistance but simply caved in. They were allegedly trained by the US military and equiped with multi-billion dollar war gadget's built.

Following the terror attack on 9/11, an invasion of Afghanistan was sanctioned, leading to the overthrow of Taliban rule. The USA and it's allies have since spent 20yrs in the region until recently when former President, Donald Trump signed off on the evacuation of American forces from the war torn area.

Why Is the Taliban Difficult to Get Rid of?

Well, as you already know, Afghanistan is nicknamed the graveyard of empires. Many world powers have invaded the mountainous country, but all of them left in the same manner - they realized it's always going to be a fruitless effort, especially due to the tough terrains of the country.

When the United States invaded the country at first in 2001, they were welcomed as the people's liberators. But, apparently Uncle Sam overstayed it's welcome and ordinarily, they will be regarded as foreign occupiers. This is how the Taliban easily recruited new fighters.
