ALBA CUELLAR, Angélica. THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE TALIBANS IN AFGHANISTAN. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.1, pp.189-205. ISSN 1909-3063.

This article reviews the dynamics of the Taliban phenomenon and its resurgence as an undeniable force and a highly resistant movement in Afghanistan. Pursuing the objective of restoring their extremist version of Islam in the country, the Taliban group has displayed a widespread violence that contributes to maintain the instability and challenges the government's ability to effectively exercise its authority, all these framed in a structurally complex political and security context.

Keywords : Ethnic fragmentation; Pashtun mobilization; foreign interference; instability.
