The Taliban in 2015- the Quetta Shura, Mullah Omar, and the remaining younger Taliban inside Afghanistan
01/02/2015
Changing expectations of the Afghan people by 2015, with many Taliban leaders killed in fighting with American forces and drone strikes, aging of the Taliban leadership in Quetta, have changed the nature of the Taliban. It makes it harder to negotiate a peace agreement but also leaves a fractured Taliban with younger Taliban in Afghanistan no longer following the leadership in Quetta.

The Pakistan Taliban and the government, military and intelligence services of Pakistan.
01/05/2009
THe paradox is that the US is helping the Pakistan government fight the Taliban and Pakistan intelligence services openly or clandestinely are helping the Taliban. And Pakistan is hedgin its bets and does not want to see India increase its influence in Afghanistan. It may sound crazy but that is the motivation of Pakistan creating the Taliban as it were.

The Taliban in their Own Words.
01/05/2009
A Washington Post-Newsweek account of the Taliban's disintegration after the U.S. invasion post 9/11 and the way they gradually came together to pose the threat they now pose. See the link to NY Times accounts of how the Pakistan Inter Services Intelligence operates behind the scenes to back the Taliban, which may provide the other side of the story how the Taliban gain the sophistication and support they need to reorganize. And the links to the failure of the Karzai regime that has played into Taliban leader Mullah Omar's hands.

U.S. Preparing for Pakistan to Restrict Support for Afghan War
New York Times 12/25/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
