The article talks about how the Taliban are beginning to fall apart because they are having troubles finding new people to control them. As such, the Pakistanis are beginning to get scared of the reconciliation that will come from opposing nations.
This article caught my attention because for years everyone has been talking about the taliban being the enemy. But then it seems like nobody has bothered to talk to the Taliban leaders about what they are doing. Now it seems like the Taliban are beginning to fall apart without anybody to control them.
I must admit that the idea of the Taliban not having organization isn't one I would have taken into consideration. Although it is nice to think about, if the Taliban were to fall apart, history shows that only another group would emerge from their ashes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gabriela. It seems like we can't make assumptions like that, and another group would surely pick up where they left off.
