Mullah Umar Allowed to Contest in the Elections – Will Taliban be back?

on Sunday, May 5, 2013

After 9/11 attacks on the US, there are many things that changed, globally speaking. It is said that Taliban were the group responsible for those attacks. Now, if we search through the past, we could see that Afghanistan was the region from where Taliban emerged, and Osama bin Laden was the leader of Taliban at that time. The Taliban always took the responsibility of being involved in the attacks on America. If we take a deeper look at this, we could see that Taliban saw the US as one of the their greatest enemies.

Tough after the operations by the US army in Afghanistan, which were claimed to be in the place where Taliban had highest activity, the number of the Taliban was reduced, but still they have hold in Afghanistan, as Mullah Umar was given a chance to contest in the elections. From this news, the western media knew that after Osama bin Laden, Taliban movement was led by Mullah Umar.

With this fact, the US military operations could be very much affected as the US has failed to disarm the Taliban. The war against terrorism, that was initiated from Afghanistan is still going on. Now, what Taliban demand is for the US army to stop any operation in the country and leave it immediately.

If we look into history, we could see the evidence that Taliban has been playing a major role in Afghan politics. The people of Afghanistan have been ruled by Taliban. That is why Taliban use blasts – in Afghanistan – in order to have control over Hamid Karzai, the current president of Afghanistan.

With the start of the campaign, Mullah Umar and his allies are now looking for a chance to win the elections as the campaigns are still ongoing. The US has been playing a major role in an attempt to nullify the influence of Taliban, but still the US army, and its allies, failed to get the desired results and a lot of soldiers were killed. The US is now seeking a safe exit from Afghanistan knowing that they have achieved some of their aims, but the news of Mullah Umar contesting in the elections have been the kind of news that was quite disappointing for the US and its allies.

Many questions have been raised with the news that Mullah Umar will participate in the elections.There are a number of chances that Taliban would be regaining their power, which could not only increase the attacks against the US, but it could be devastating for the stability of Afghanistan.
