The Tâlebân in Afghanistan: A French Approach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2016
Extract
Afghanistan had left the scene long ago, the Soviet invasion and resistance relegated to oblivion by an inextricable tribal/civil war fought by warlords and other “extremists”. Everyone was in a hurry to forget the country altogether. Suddenly the Tâlebân came out of nowhere—or so it seemed. Since then the Tâlebân have dominated publications about Afghanistan. The swift capture of Kabul, after years of siege and rocket attacks that wreaked havoc in the capital, thrust Afghanistan once again into the headlines and onto the television screens.
