i call them the neotaliban became increasingly active in the southern parts of afghanistan and fed on the weakness, corruption and often absence of afghan government, lack of coordination of foreign objectives in afghanistan, profits from uncontrolled narcotic trade and foreign emergencies support. there were many reasons why they were being morphed into this power, not just their position to the foreign forces, though that was the main criteria of their message. sometimes it is said that the talibans were not so powerful, it was the afghan government that was so weak and this void was filled by them and i thought i agree with that assessment. by 2005 the taliban managed to become more than a nuisance morphing into a full fledged insurgency and relying more and more on terror tactics. what i call the neotaliban or you would call the taliban today is not a monolithic group, nor do they share a common vision of afghanistan. it's what we call the qsd mainly concentrate in the southern afghanistan and their headquarters, most of the leadership is east in pakistan or in karachi, which is n
