Who cares what talibans say!! Btw how are they giving these statements in their so called official site from caves and mountains with no Electricity and internet??
Which one? I honestly don't know.A dictator who cares about his people far more better than likes of Taliban , when you compared Iraq to Afghanistan on living conditions everyone knows which is better.
First, Iraq had money because of it's large oil deposits and even after the sanctions they were selling oil on the black market. Without the oil wealth the situation in Iraq would have been worse than what the North Koreans are going through.
The Taliban knew of the countries immense mineral wealth but they didn't allow foreigners to exploit it so that Afghans would be left poor like the current government is planning on doing. This is in contrast to men like Kim Jong-il and Saddam who exploited their peoples and/or the countries natural resources for their own benefit while everyone starved.
The Taliban were never an ethnocentric group nor did they ever refer to themselves as a "Pashtun" organization. It just so happened that the majority of their members were Pashtun because of where they got their start but the group reached out to men like Masood (Tajik) when they controlled 90% of the country in hopes he would join a coalition government and finally end the years of war that ravaged the country even though they never had to. However, the current government can't even meet the first precondition to peace talks with the Taliban which simply involves the expulsion of all NATO forces from the country where as under the Taliban you didn't have 150,000+ foreign troops rolling around the country immune to local prosecution. The country had a far more stable security situation and at the very least it was free.
The Taliban eliminated the drug trade in Afghanistan (which fuels crime in countries around the world) while the current government has inducted warlords who deal in drugs (ex. Haji Bashar) or partnered with them and totally overlooked their shady dealings (Ahmed Wali Karzai) all of which fuels crime in countries around the world. Hamid Karzai even admits to paying them off with CIA money which also explains why poppy cultivation increases yearly as does the number of people addicted to drugs a disturbingly large number of whom are children.
You're talking about Afghanistan like it's some kind of paradise when all NATO did was turn it into a hell. Yes, there are some shiny new buildings but so what? Out of the $120 billion spent in Afghanistan by the US alone in 2012 The whole economy is unsustainable considering by all accords 90% of the GDP is based on the foreign presence. This idea that the current government has made things better is nothing but a mirage.
There are certain issues I have with the group, particularly related to certain atrocities they are accused of having committed and accusations that members have restricted education for females, but with respect to the current government and security force are you seriously telling me that things are actually better?
