Taliban Faces Criticism Amid Security Concerns

The arrest of Afghan citizen Nasir Tuheedi in the U.S. highlights the Taliban's failures in combating terrorism, as he is linked to extremist ideologies that flourish under their regime. This incident underscores the security risks posed by Afghan nationals involved in terrorism, which includes groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda, with the Taliban maintaining complex relationships with these organizations. The Taliban's promises to enhance security have not materialized, leaving Afghanistan a breeding ground for such groups. Furthermore, under Taliban rule, the plight of women and girls has drastically deteriorated, stripping them of their rights and dreams following two decades of progress. Mullah Hibatullah, the Taliban's leader, has openly stated their ongoing conflict with the West and their intention to enforce strict Sharia laws, further showcasing their extreme ideological stance. The convergence of these factors necessitates a reevaluation of international strategies to address the threats emanating from Afghanistan.
