The Taliban has held its first news conference since it took over Afghanistan on Sunday.
The group has pledged inclusion and education for women, religious tolerance and an amnesty for anyone who worked with the government or foreign forces.
But reports of Taliban rule in cities captured during the group’s advance have raised fears about these promises.
Let’s take a closer look at how the Taliban became a prominent group and what it ultimately wants.
Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid has more.

We need your “evidence” for the opium remark…
Such a shame there is no search engine under your rock.
Sad that 17 idiots liked your stupidity.
Probably the only decent thing the Taliban did was to virtually eliminate Afghanistan’s opium trade while under US occupation it was revived and protected.
Do your homework before posting ignorant comments.
@John Kesich are you afghan? Been there? Family there? No… Then get some experience before you talk about matters that you only read in headlines. There’s a 100 more important things happening while you read a fake article by “john smith” in new york about Afghanistan. You clowns think you know everything because of the internet 😂 just like after 20 years they took the country back in days without fighting. You people know nothing on the ground and talk from your backsides. You are ignoramus.
@Arrgh
So you dispute that the Taliban had virtually eliminated the opium trade before the Bush gang’s illegal invasion and that it was restored and protected under the US occupation?
Of course, the US was midwife to the Taliban so it is not surprising that that took over as soon as the US left.
But the important question is, who has armed the Taliban?
Who supports every terrorist group as long as it serves their own interests, and throws them under the bus when that proves more useful?
@Arrgh ain’t no headlines that expose the USA protecting the opium fields and you don’t need to go to Afghanistan to know this
the king of the taliban ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙏 salaammand alhamdu lillaaH
. they were created by US govt Khalilzad Randcorp congressman rohrabacher, don ritter
Sometimes Negative Sense is the Best like ‘Taliban’.Taliban is The Best forevers.
It was made known by the U.S. and they did not give up.
“It’s *version* of islamic law” xD
Read the Quran Taliban is actually based
Yes, because neither them nor yourself understand how Law and Order work in Islam. You only know a small portion of the surface; things that have been used and told for years.
You do not think and that’s a good common point between you and the Taliban.
_Onething I can’t digest is: Why would western media connect this group with “Opium” which is a narcotic drug when at the same time refer them as religous hardliners? Those two things can’t go together! One of them is total LIE! I don’t know which one is a blatant lie?_
Y’know they seem really motivated to take control and fix what Russia and the U.S couldn’t fix. An unstable Afghanistan! I think we should give the Talibans a chance to fix their country they love so much
@NterYorCofnsays the guy who has never been to Afghanistan and gets info from reddit and Wikipedia
@John Boz that’s just retarded then. So what you are saying is unless you have been to that country and seen it for yourself you can’t believe it ? So since I haven’t been to Australia does that mean it doesn’t matter exist? Just because I wasn’t born hitler was around I may be wrong about him since I never got “his point of view” just because you haven’t been somewhere doesn’t mean you can’t know about it. There is absolutely no way the Taliban are good. How can almost every media across the planet have the same point of view of them. We have seen time and again how horrendous they are
Do any of you know how the Taliban was formed?
@Adam Khan yes I do. I know why they were formed,when and even what cause groups like them to exist in the first place.
I don’t really want to explain because it’s long as but if you want me to “to prove it” then i can
@NterYorCofn please go ahead am genuinely interested
Afghanistan the graveyard of empires. Not only because everyone who goes their loses but also because of Afghan people themselves.
Not only do they burry empires but also themselves every time they try to get out of the Stone-age
If taliban take control everything in afghanistan… just imagine one day they will come attack other countries with modern weapon.
Nah
98% of the fighting by the usa army WAS DONE FROM THE AIR without such huge Advantage its INfantry would ve ANIHILATED by the TALIBAN FIGHTERS!!!
yes on ground they stand no chance , lets hope Russia sell Afghan taliban s-400 system because NATO air superiority is still threat to them too
What do you see in every single video of the Taliban moving or attacking?
Block the sell of Toyota trucks to Afghanistan and you take their military legs out! Sounds funny, but it’s not!
what da.. Taliban less equipped comparing to US forces… how it happen?
Taliban is a Russian-backed rag tag rebels. Now they got a country to fock it up.
Bush started it. Trump made it worse. Thank you President Biden for getting us out of there. I see a lot of young Afghan men who look like they could carry a weapon in defense against the taliban. Not lifting a finger. WTF? No wonder after 20 years the situation is still the same.
BTW: Loser trump was trying to make peace with the Taliban. What a clown. Even GOP are trying to hide this fact:….
The Republican National Committee has removed a page from the 2020 campaign that says “Biden has had a history of pushing for endless wars” while “Trump has continued to take the lead in peace talks as he signed a historic peace agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan, which would end America’s longest war,” ‘s David Weigel noted Sunday
By the support of IsI and CIA 😏
Well funded by Arab Billionaires.. 😬
they literelly using homemade gun and bomb lol..US cleary spending 2 trillion dollar yet still cant defeated taliban..what ashamed
@iamnasay .. i did not know AK47s, ROCKET LAUNCHERS and TOYOTA PICK UPS are HOME MADE.. Genius comment.. lmao.. 🤦♂️😆🤦♂️
@Kung Fu Kenny your level of dumbness is next level..we are talking about billion-dollar fund mate..Toyota?lol..at least they should have 5 fighter jets in their backyard with those billion dollar funds lol..
Highly motivated or highly radicalization
easy answer….U.S. backed
John 3:16 For God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten son so that who ever believes not perish but have everlasting life
And a bunch of people killed him
@Isa M Hussain but jesus rose died
@iamnasay jesus loves you
@yozach 3jesus love God..
@yozach 3 how can god be dead?! Isn’t he immortal? He was a human like me and you and a prophet(peace be upon him) from god to deliver message
They never left! Period! Their soldiers knew that but the upper leadership refused to hear from the ground troops. Their 20 years of relative freedoms will end and they will return to the 16th century. It is difficult to understand, but their loyalties are based upon 100’s of years of village elders and factions. It is only a matter if time before this group disintegrates into an all out civil war/blood bath. So sad but this will happen…
GG for 8 million subscribers
how did the element become a prominent group…. because they are the man….
Taliban is a terrorist organization prepared and sponsored by Pakistan army for global terrorism.

Donkey is better than Taliban. Dogs better than talibab. Pigs are better than Taliban

*Lesson for World*
Don’t trust USA and West, they will throw you from plane but will take their dogs with them.
While Taliban scum rape murder and dismember their victims. If you can’t point the finger at the inhuman criminal scum, you are either a hypocrite or a coward..
@David Whittington America and ally also rape woman and kill innocent civilian.
@David Whittington have you seen the video that Australian army murder innocent farmer
@Vladimir Al-Butin Wow, you must of watched your latest BS edition of propaganda. If you protect murdering scum, only because of the holy book they all carry, than you are either a hypocrite or a coward. Strange isn’t it, all your so called brothers and sisters in endless wars murdering each other, and when someone from a civilized nation tries to help, you all gang up on that nation, and pretend your barbaric crimes never existed…
US defense company get a lot money from this war.
Who would be called a super power
20 years 50 country army spent billion trillion
Result taliban captured whole country in 10 days
You can take the Afghan out of Afghanistan, but not Afghanistan out of the Afghan. People who will not fight for their own freedom are mindless cowards. You can’t save everyone from their own demented mentality.
What should a man do when condition gets bad guys, just shout out for help , so guys please help me get atleast 100 subscribers rather than 0 to avoid shame thank you God bless. Have mercy I beg you thank you.
Al Jazeera supports the Taliban. Terrorists scum
*ALLAH ko pa mard e momin par bharosa*
*Iblees ko Yurop ki machinon ka sahara* ~Muhammad IQBAL
The only Satanists are the Taliban inhuman scum. A nation that wishes to remain in the 12th century, will be extinguished…
America and the Bush shitshow
Goodbye freedom. what a shame, i feel sorry for the afghan women, we all know that this terrorist will strip their rights.
Pakistan was supposed to be a country run by Islamic Laws as dreamed by Jinnah and they Named there capital ISLAMABAD. They abandoned it same will happen with Taliban.
This land belongs to them boys.
Because Taliban does not accept any foreign occupation.
@Noel Genoway I’m from Pakistan and I know Afghan culture somehow. USA used to fund millions of Dollars to Taliban against Soviet Union and Pakistan Army trained and equipped them. As a result of that Jihad, Soviet Union was defeated and whole central Asian countries got independence. America was so happy that Taliban defeated Soviet Union and that is how the US became the only super power. Even President Biden has confessed that Afghanistan is the graveyard of super power.
Fake news. You forgot the part where they were recruited by the USA.
Because China, Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran give tons of support $$$$$$$ and wanted NATO and the US to FAIL!!!!
Hmmmmmm, just speechless
Dumbass Democrats…
Taliban has only history of killings . executions and Brutally murdering its own people.its a bunch of mad people. they ruled afghanistan only by using fear.
Indigenous people are more entitled to manage their own country than foreigners
Aladeen wins
Hope nonsense killing & cruel execution will stop. Respect & education in all gender is a must.
Many condemn the West, without condemning the locals and their hideous crimes. Corruption and some forms of insanity are everywhere. But we don’t put women in tents, or throw gay people off roofs, or mutilate women and children. etc. etc. There is a big difference between a 21st century culture, and a 12th century culture.. Our indignation towards uncivilized scum is sound. If you are incapable of pointing the finger at the real criminals, then you are either a hypocrite or a coward.
America lang kc nag papagulo
Alhamdulillah
Allahu Akbar
Because Qatar helped by harbouring them and providing weapons.
what do the reporter mean by its version of islam
they are following the pure and right version of islam
we follow the medium way not too much, not less
It’s lot easier for a rat, than an elephant, to fit and hide in a hole
wait a minute.. you forgot to mention that the Talibans were created by the US and Pakistan.. The US now even left weapons for them in Afghanistan..
Still at it. The world has woken up…silly Billy media…hahahaha…
Comment section has more analyst then then original video …obviously the best part of Youtube
Supported and trained by ISI and Pakistani armed forced… MashaAllah
💪💪💪
History of Afghanistan first graveyard great Britain and second graveyard USSR third graveyard United States of America maybe next is India graveyard Allah Akber Allah Akber Allah Akber
It has always been a graveyard for Afghans, and those gravesites will increase again at the hands of its own demented people…
They believe god wants them to kill.
peace word from talib … 😛
RIGHT YOU WILL TELL US THE TRUTH…. LOL!!! U THINK ALL STUPID???
Lockheed & Raytheon lost to Toyota.
On the serious note! Who gave Trump administration power and the right to hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban without the consent of the Afghan government and the people?
The “Afghan Government” gave consent when they ran away.
United States is the biggest terrorist state in the world 🌍🌍🌎
They were and largely still are, I imagine, backed by Pakistani Intellgence ISI.
These people don’t know GOD I hope they will repent and trust in Jesus as their LORD and Savior because their so called god can’t save them from the True God of Heaven and Earth. The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob the God of Israel and the creator of us all. Jesus is the only way for us to be saved and forgiven. Repent and believe in the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15.
*NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT ELITE TALIBAN FORCES?*

THANK ME LATER 😁😁😁😁😁
Kau suka buat fitnah untuk tutup kejahatan dan kezaliman yang dilakukan oleh Orang Eropah di serata dunia.
Kau semua tak tahu ke?
Kenapa Raja Alexander the Great begitu berjaya?
Sebab dia memperjuangkan ugama ALLAH Yang diajar oleh Nabi Ibrahim a.salam.
Tetapi orang Eropah yang lain datang keTimur dan hampir seluruh dunia membawa kesesatan.
Apa tidaknya kitab ALLAH Injil yang diajar oleh Nabi Isa a.salam telah diubah ikut kebodohan manusia tu sendiri.
Malah padri yang memperjuangkan kebenaran kitab Injil dibunuh.
Please be true to yourself if not to your viewers.
Aljazeera has become B team of US
Islam has no version
We need this version of islam which can defeat your super power
UAE finance Pakistan training
Funny how Al Jazeera doesn’t mention these maniacs are terrorists but call them “fighters”. Way to whitewash these perverts!
Have some shame , you are an abomination to journalism!
Who did they terrorize?
Safe heaven for God of terror. They will change only in front of the camera, rest will remain same
Sabian ignorantes que los Dones viven actual?mente
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴???????*******😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 viven ah que tal👍
The will to fight. 20 years wait a testimony of their endurance.
Subhanallh
What is difference between Hamas and Taliban terrorist groups
Hamas against Jews.
Taliban’s against musilims
Afghanistan men fled first, we watched it together. maybe preparing an army of women would lead to much better results. the west should at least be supported by political, social, and even different forces to support the struggle of women in Afghanistan. And the West must stop dancing with political Islam.crying is not a solution. crying and some statements of some leaders are not the solution. Action time.
support women
