very little rain.

regular market of Afghanistan. This is also
how the Taliban is getting financed.

Politics and Government
Their motto is kill all out
outsiders.
They have no true leader they
just have small clans.
Politics and government
• They don’t have a good voting system
because there is no strong leader
• Islamic republic is there form of
government
• Hamid Karzai re-elected President in
November 2009
Colonization
• The Taliban right now controls Afghanistan
the British occupied Afghanistan 3 separate
times but they couldn’t keep control
Conclusion
• The British controlled Afghanistan three
separate times, and that is how it became
colonized. The Taliban came to power
during the 1980's war with the Soviet
Union. The U.S. helped drive the Taliban
from power in 2003, and we are still
fighting. It will take a strong government,
a real leader, and control over the Taliban
to make it a developed country.
