The Taliban, which previously ruled Afghanistan from 1996-2001, seized control of Kabul for the second time in mid-August. The reconquering represented a culmination of a month-long ground offensive by Taliban fighters. The militants wrested a series of strategic Afghan territories from Afghan government soldiers for roughly 30 days starting in May before setting their sites on Kabul, which is the Afghan national capital and seat of government. The Taliban has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/exclusive-council-may-rule-afghanistan-taliban-reach-out-soldiers-pilots-senior-2021-08-18\/\">reimposed<\/a> a ruling system on Afghanistan centered upon Islamic law, or <em>sharia<\/em>.
