TALIBAN group started off in Kandahar, a city in southern Afghanistan. The Taliban movement was formed in September 1994, with Mullah Omar's group composed of religious students, called the ‘talibs’ or ‘taliban’ in Afghan-Pashto, who were recruited from several rural Islamic schools or ‘madrasas’ located in Kandahar and Uruzgan. At the start, they managed to attract an audience by promising to restore order, safety, and Sharia law to areas that had been disrupted by corruption, robbers, and rival warlord battles since the Soviet troops left.
