WHY TALIBAN IS BOTHERING ALL

Taliban has been a terrorising group for long and has been destructive force in existence like many such extremist groups operating in different areas and parts of world and in different countries. They were tolerable as long as they limited their activities in their own country or territory. They became stronger and wanted to have control on social and religious activities and they turned gradually more severe and gathered arms.

HOW THEY GOT ARMED

It’s also true that many leaders in different countries tried to provide them arms and used them for political purposes. This’s where problems grew out of limits. These stronger outfits wanted now to have political control and started killing innocent people on the basis of religion and faiths. With the time some of their leaders were eliminated and they turned furious. In reality the civilised faithfuls are more responsible for their growth and extremism while exploiting these organised groups. In Afghanistan they existed and after attack on Twin Towers in US the action to avenge to show power and influence on the world in general has resulted into fractional growth of such groups with different names and in different countries. Now these countries are crying to combine efforts to put a check.

EXPLOITATION BY COUNTRIES

Some countries started exploiting democracy in many ways. People and their government started indulging and exploiting their power positions for showing strength, while in reality they forgot to fulfil basic needs of livelihood and health. This happened in Afghanistan also. Governments have also ignored the developing influence of drugs which became potential source of money and terrorist groups used this money to buy arms. Arms sellers went after money making and ignored the well-being of people. It turned out to be a hay day for these Ultras and their greed to get into power position increased. Governments have been forced to rescue them as these people engaged in earning money and filling the coffers of the.country. Now all are crying for humanity and their safety. This again may not be a truthful thing.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Now all have to try for normalcy and make an effort to contain the situation. Any aggressive posture may turn out to be damaging and futile. Political negotiations can also be tried but not on own terms. Ignoring the issue for long will be detrimental. The divided world has to put own interest aside and think of steps more importantly caring for the deprived groups which are in sufferings due to pandemic for almost last two years. In any case power block politics must be avoided. Activities of Taliban can be controlled fast with minimal human losses. The situation should also not be used for marketing of arms but diminishing drug trafficking. This can be seen as an opportunity to make the region peaceful and inviting economic well-being.
