The Taliban is an Afghan Islamist political and military movement that has exercised de facto control over Afghanistan since returning to power in 2021. Also known as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, it previously governed most of the country from 1996 to 2001. Its rule has imposed severe restrictions on civil and political rights, particularly on women and girls, including exclusion from most secondary and higher education and extensive limits on employment, movement, and public participation. Religious and ethnic minorities, including Hazara Shiites, have faced heightened vulnerability. The Taliban has a long record of armed conflict, repression of dissent, and restrictions on media and communications. Its authorities have also imposed controls on telecommunications and internet access, disrupting civilian communications and essential services. Afghanistan under Taliban control has remained a significant regional counterterrorism concern because of the presence of multiple militant organizations in the country.

An Afghan Islamist movement that survived the U.S.-led war and subsequently took control of Afghanistan.
The Taliban are described as ruling Afghanistan while conducting internal repression, targeting women and minority communities, and providing shelter and operating space to regional and international terrorist groups. The content also portrays them as using humanitarian aid, migrants, and coercive governance as tools of control and external pressure.
