The Taliban have changed, they reformed their behavior and practices because they have become a state. And it's neither Taliban 2.0. nor 3.0. It's Talibanland. At the time of writing, it’s 2024, and the Taliban are not in the mountains anymore—they’re in the Kabul streets. Having descended from the mountains, Mullahs, and hills’ bears determine foreign policy and diplomacy. They act on behalf of the state and discuss international agreements. The Taliban created alliances and constructed the country's image for perception abroad. The Taliban became synonymous with Afghanistan. It is already impossible to imagine this eastern country without the group. For a very long time, they dominated the Afghan social and political reality. One of the first things that people recalled after seeing the Taliban takeover was the blue burqas and portraits of women with sad eyes of the last epoch. The public executions stuck in memory, as well as the mockery of Hazaras and Tajiks—the mass repressions against women and unwanted ones. The morality police control young people’s appearance and behavior on the streets of the cities. The prohibition of education and scientific research. The impoverishment of the population. The mass unemployment. The degradation of bureaucratic institutions and the state apparatus. This chapter, based on numerous primary sources, examines the theory of Taliban statehood, its genesis, formation, and evolution.
