Are the Taliban returning?

The Taliban a group of Islamic fundamentalists left power when the forces led by America invaded 2001. The democratic presidential elections and a new constitution were established immediately, but the Taliban did not give up.

The situation on the ground is very fluid, and it has limited access to many parts of the country that makes reporting verification difficult.

How many people have died since 2001?

Twenty years of fighting left thousands of dead fighters on both sides in Afghanistan and along the border with neighbor Pakistan. Civilians have also been caught in conflict dying in a coalition.

Here's the number of casualties.

The number of civilians killed in the first three months of 2021 was “much higher” than a year ago.

Women and children make up 43 percent of the civilian victims in Afghanistan in 2020.

Can the girls go to school?

The collapse of the terrible Taliban regime made major changes and major progress in women's rights and freedoms.

In 1999 there were not a single girl enrolled in secondary school, and only nine thousand were in elementary school.

But by 2003, 2.4 million girls were in school. That figure is now about 3.5 million. /Periscope
