During the group&#8217;s 1996-2001 rule of Afghanistan, it burnt thousands of acres of fertile land as part of its &#8220;scorched-earth&#8221; offensive, massacred civilians, starved the Afghan people, committed genocide against minorities, sold women into sexual slavery, and protected the terrorists who perpetrated the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations has found that the Taliban has already begun committing &#8220;summary executions&#8221; of civilians, recruiting child soldiers, and trampling on women&#8217;s rights since it toppled the Afghan government a week ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Taliban&#8217;s sudden commitment to the fight against climate change has also prompted questions. <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> reporter Joe Simonson asked on Twitter, &#8220;Most importantly, will the Taliban join the Paris climate agreement?&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.0322580645161\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">most importantly will the Taliban join the Paris climate agreement?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Gabriel Simonson (@SaysSimonson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SaysSimonson\/status\/1426184412903903236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News The terrorist group massacred civilians and committed genocide  Taliban fighters \/ Getty Images  Karl Salzmann \u2022 August 25, 2021 1:20 pm &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-683305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=683305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=683305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=683305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=683305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
