Taliban at gates of last outpost of resistance
1998
Overview
Afghanistan's Taliban militia has stormed its way to the outskirts of Mazar-i-Sharif, the last big city in Afghanistan to withstand its four-year campaign to spread fundamentalist Islam throughout the country. Experts say the city could fall at any time, sealing Taliban rule throughout the country. But the predominance of foreign interests in the Afghan conflict means the consequences of a Taliban victory could reverberate far outside Afghanistan's borders. Foreign experts, many of whom view the Taliban as a creation of the Pakistani army, agree that if it the Taliban do manages to retain control of the city, it would fundamentally alter the balance of power in southern and central Asia, affecting flashpoints in a wide arc from Kashmir to Tajikistan to Iran.
