I don't understand what the uproar is about.. The Taliban were the ones ruling Afghanistan for years until America attacked the country in search of Bin Laden and removed the Taliban. Now the Taliban is back after America withdrew it's forces so what's the uproar about? Clearly the country doesn't want the western system of govt. The country had always been an Islamic nation so I wonder why everyone is making a fuss about it

...Because with the Taliban in power, Afghanistan would once more become a breeding ground for terrorists.

A country of about 40 million and you are talking of those at the airport that have received assurance and returned home.
..... 40m people and how many do you think are terrorists with guns and bombs amongst them? Enough to out the remaining unarmed population in check....... Look bro, the taliban is a terrorist organization...... The same thing boko haram and iswap and isis is...... The people who mean well for Afghanistan will never be happy to have the taliban in power and that explains why alot of them are desperately trying to leave the country...... If u say the people want the taliban to rule, then you can say same for boko haram in Nigeria too!

100 of thousands are entering through Pakistani border. It's natural to see people exhibiting fear especially d opposition and foreigners. Most of d cities captured are not thru gun. Why are they not fighting till now? I was surprised not see looting. I hail my country people
.... Sir who want to fight the taliban right now? The government forces that have surrendered and abandoned by their president or the helpless and armless men and women who have no hope or no where to go? If u were in Afghanistan right now, will u pick up a fight against the taliban? It's just like I being a civilian, going to borno and saying you want to pick up a a fight with boko haram... Something your government has been doing for years and achieved little results.... And talking about looting, you want to loot in cities controlled and captured by the taliban? How is that possible? Or you think they are government forces who have value for human lives? U want to loot in a city dominated by armed men who strap suicide vests around their bodies and wield sophisticated weapons? Think about it bro..... Looting is impossible right now... It's just like saying the masses should protest now in Afghanistan.... If there is a protest of any kind right now in Afghanistan, think about what the outcome would be for the people

Not every member supporter of Taliban is armed. Only their fighting forces are armed.

If the locals are not in support the why did the Talibans 75000 fighting army defeat the 300000 well equipped and well trained afghan soldiers trained by USA.

In the case of Nigeria, tell me the difference between bokoharam and what hisba police is doing

Well, I see your point. But things are not really black and white. The country has always been an Islamic nation and even the US supported outsted government did not change that. So it's obvious people are not worried about Taliban cause of Islam. People are worried about them cause of thier version of Islam. People are worried cause of thier ideologies.

Everyone is making a fuss about it probably because they're old enough to remember how openly Taliban supported terrorism back in those days. America didn't just wake up and attack Taliban. They offered safe heaven to most wanted terrorists and they haven't changed any bit. Thier extreme anti human rights laws aside, making them a government and expecting other countries to work with them will be mocking the fight against terrorism.

Like I said, being an Islamic country has never been the problem. We've got many great Islamic countries out there, and no one is going after them. However, Supporting/fueling global terrorism is just a no-no. Taliban taking over the government will make Afghanistan a safe heaven for terrorists and this will make it almost impossible to fish out the terrorists without a war cause they'll respond with "it's a sovereign nation". Again, the frustrated and oppressed women have no other country to run to and the kids will grow up in a country where the government openly gets or got the largest portion of its revenue from drug deals.

It may all seem like an Afghanistan issue now but it wouldn't take a long before you realize it's a global issue. I'm sure no one would disturb Taliban if they agree to reassuring treaties or show any signs of renouncing terrorism.

..... Sir, first of all the trainee can never be as good as the master..... The Americans may have trained afghan army but which equipments did they leave them with? Also u should know that these terrorists fight without fear for their own lives which makes it very difficult for them to be defeated..... The worst kind of battle you can ever fight is fighting against someone who has nothing to lose...... A soldier can only kill a handful of terrorists at a time with a rifle but think about how many people a suicide bomber rigged with c4 explosives can kill at a single detonation? Let us come Back to Nigeria.... Because the Nigerian army have not been able to defeat boko haram, does it mean that boko haram have the support or backing of the people? Nooooo...... The reason is that when boko haram fighters are in battle, they don't care about civilians and shoot whatever they see that is moving while the army are careful to avoid civilian casualties...... An army may spot one boko haram suicide member in a crowd of 20 people for example and may try to do all he can to avoid killing people along side the suicide bomber but does the suicide bomber think that way? That explains why it is difficult for any government to battle terrorism...... It's not because the terrorists have the support of the people....... In our universities these days, there are thousands of cultists..... And they roam freely every day... Does it mean other innocent students support them and that's why they have not been wiped out completely? The taliban is an evil sect

Daarreenn:
what made those groups terrorists? Because they attacked America who travelled thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic, brought guns and tanks to their sovereign country and turned it upside down?
If America and nato had left the Middle East alone they wouldn't have retaliated by trying to strike them. The Caucasians who leave their barren frozen wastelands and go to the middle East to destabilise them are the real terrorists. How many times have the so called terrorists attacked a foreign country who didn't encroach on them? All races can't be cowardly docile like the black race
Why did America and Nato attack them in the first place? Islam is a violent religion and if others be weak, they will kill us all.

Yeah, that's exactly all the citizens of Afghanistan, all 40 million of them are unhappy with the Talibans and are in that plane right now leaving their country for US

Just under 10% of the citizens are afraid of the talibans rule while the other 90% are ok with it, but no o, Nigerians and the rest of the world don carry another country matter for head, make una go force the remaining 90% to hate the talibans na

As for the weapons, america Left weapons behind and trained them on how to handle it.

Bokoharam is not different from hisbab police cos they are agitating for the same thing. The people now hate bokoharam cos it's killing them

Western Media has caused dyslexia to many Folks. Afghanistan’s population is Approximately 34 Million. Less than 1million people are seeking refuge elsewhere and the media is making it Seem like the whole country is burning. It’s obvious the Afghan citizens loves their religious style of Government. If we accept that majority carries the Vote in a democratic system of Government we should not play double standard to millions of Afghans that wanted their Islamic Rule back.POLYGAMY over LGBTQ.
I’ve come to notice that is only Aljazera that shows other parts of Afghanistan that’s peaceful. School , markets and Other activities still goes on. But the only picture circulating online is aircraft carrying asylum seekers.
and the millions of dunces here will swallow that western propaganda hook line and sinker. Most of them even think it's a matter of Christianity Vs Islam, saw my cousin reposting it this morning with sad emojis and asked her " what exactly do you know about this Afghanistan crisis" she couldn't say anything and she's in university o. One starts to wonder what students learn in schools, education is not passing exams. If education does not reach the mind, reform it, enhance it and improve inquisitiveness then that education is a waste.

Honestly speaking as if u pull these words from my mouth.
Bin laden they claimed to search has been killed as far back as Obama's era, now, my question is, all the soldiers that died after the death of bin laden in Afghanistan died for what exactly?? What would be the achievement the soldiers deployed to Afghanistan after the death of Bin laden proud of?

Stupidity is when it takes a country's 4 presidents, trillions of taxpayers fund, thousands of soldiers death to take over from Taliban and handover back to Taliban. So useless. I hope America will now be mindful of unnecessary invasions next time especially the middle east. They want to have a strong presence in middle east apart from Israel being an ally there, it didn't work. America will go and restrategize and know that Islam is an ideology, not just a religion.
the victims are the Afghanistan people and American tax payers. The winners are the lobbyists and Weapons manufacturers.

How is this for making a fuss?

During the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, the insurgents reportedly married girls as young as 12 and forced them into sex slavery as 'spoils of war,' and killed Afghan troops who tried to surrender.

Re: Twitter Refuses Call To Ban Taliban From Its Platform by musicwriter(m): 2:16pm On Aug 18, 2021
If you're an African Muslim or Christian but you support the Taliban, you're a big fool. Because white people and Arabs also came to Africa and our ancestors battled with them in wars for many years, but unfortunately, we lost the battle. That's how you became a Muslim or Christian.

Note that I said "battle" not war. White people and Arabs have damaged your brains but there are those of us that understand that we only lost the battle not the war, that's why I try to wake you up on this forum and on my blog but your brain has been paralyzed with English language or Arabic language, Christianity or Islam, western education or Arabic education, bible or Quran. So, while the Talibans are free but you and African Muslim or Christian remain European or Arab slaves.

Wake up slaves!! If you want to be called a human being, you must replicate what the Talibans have done right here in Africa.

Slaves wake up!!

Wtf are you saying bro, first US never attacked Afghan bcs of Osama, instead they carried out a special mission to kill or detain Osama Bin Laden. Second, the US is not trying to enforce western rulership or whatever they were in Afghanistan to keep the Taliban and Al Qaeda at bay

Oga major war is not peace keeping. It goes down to the available fit men.
If their is China and US showdown tomorrow, who will pick up arms for USA after the trained soldiers have been depleted?
Trannies, gays and lesbians?
Or you tubers?
My dear wake up
USA lost the world power immediately Obama was sworn in
I didn't see one single point in your post. Did I hear you say America is world power only in southern Nigeria and subsaharan Africa? You are a comedian. You seem to sound like you know the truth but trying to pretend. Can you mention one war lost by USA ever? China and Russia can only brag. They know their boundaries. American warships had spied on China and Russia recently...was there any casualties on the past of US at sea? China and Russia combined can't try spy on US the way the latter has done in recent years. They know where their strength lies.
If America should leave Saudi Arabia today the way they left Afghanistan, Saudi will be forgotten in a matter of days because their enemies would overpower them, starting from Iran. The majority of industries in China are of USA origin. The currency widely used in transacting business globally is US dollar. Try and tell a Chinese you want to buy an ordinary pen, they'd quote you in USD, same with Russia. They'd not quote you in their local currency.

Spreading propaganda on behalf of other countries.

Nigeria's population is above 200 million and about 1.5 million people are internally displaced by Boko haram.
But you are the first to attack Nigeria, its army, and government at any opportunity with your trite shout of "terrorists".

Why did you forget to do your math in case of Nigeria and tell us and the "media" that the majority are not on the firing

What are you saying ? If you don't know what to say just pass .

It's obvious the Americans wanted to foist their way of government on a sovereign country.
After failing to doing that they resort to using media propaganda to make it feel the entire country was burning .

If you're not living in Nigeria presently and you see news of negative things happening you'll think the whole country is burning.
You might not want to visit. But we know the people In the North are their self problem .
If the Government wants to end insurgency In the north they know what to do.

It took 300 ISWAP fighters to capture shekua while thousands of Nigerian army have been killed all they could see is a flag.
I don't analyze things based on emotions rather with reason . You sound so emotional.
Am not amongst those who castigate their country anyhow because the negative impact . Every country is facing one two challenges.

If the Talibans have the mandate of the majority, then I think outsiders should respect the wishes of the people and then if the Talibans misbehaves the can then be dealt with.

stop prempting their actions and keep monitoring the reality on ground.

People may be surprised that every where is calm and women and workers have been asked to resume back at work and school.
No gunshots fired anywhere and no looting of shops like we have witnessed in many countries
