International Terrorism in Afghanistan (2000-2018)

Terrorist attacks have grown in Afghanistan since 2001. There are more than ten terrorist groups, but the Taliban has the hegemony of the violence in the country. Taliban's main aim is to recover the politic power to set up a theocratic regime again in Afghanistan. With the purpose of achieving this goal, the Taliban has begun a terror campaign against civil society, international forces and Afghan institutions, behaving like a terrorist hybrid organization. The agreement entered into with the United States, according to which American troops are to leave Afghanistan, places the Taliban closer to achieving their objective. Afghanistan is the second country with the highest number of terrorist attacks and killed people in the world. The Taliban group is mostly responsible for this, but we cannot leave out that terrorism in Afghanistan is a consequence of the United States' intervention. After almost twenty years of war, the Afghan society has become used to living in a terror system while they await for peace.
