The Taliban Are Not Terrorists Anymore, says the US

During the last 13 years, the US, NATO and ISAF deceived all their partners, including Afghanistan and Pakistan, about the real motive behind the war against terrorism in Afghanistan. The US toppled the Taliban government, invaded the country and declared war against terrorism. We were told they had come to eliminate the Taliban and al Qaeda from the region, and we supported them. They killed thousands of innocents and bombed their houses on the pretext that they were Taliban fighters or terrorists, and we supported this as well. Finally, a genie came out of the bottle and announced that the terrorists they were fighting are not terrorists. This news shocked Afghan and Pakistani politicians and civil society, who asked that if the Taliban were not terrorists, why had the US wasted money and resources in Afghanistan?

For more than 13 years, people around the globe almost took it for granted that the Taliban is a terrorist group that shares many similarities with al Qaeda. The White House spokesman also denied that the Taliban are a terrorist group. What does the US want in Afghanistan? The answer is murky. Now, the real concept of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Taliban has also become limpid; on January 23, 2015, the US declared Pakistani Taliban leader Mullah Fazlullah a global terrorist and Mullah Omer a Mujahid.
