In this special episode, we dive into the history of the most wanted man, Mullah Omar, with experienced journalist Shahzaib Wahlah. We explore the origin of this story, how he became famous, and how he took over the whole of Afghanistan, starting from Kandahar.We discuss his background, his role in the Taliban movement, and the impact of his leadership on the region. The narrative covers the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, their relationship with Pakistan, and the controversial policies they implemented. Additionally, we examine Mullah Omar's connections with figures like Bin Laden and the Taliban's stance on women's education and other societal issues. Join us for a comprehensive look at Mullah Omar's life.#mullahomar  #story   #howdoesitwork  

One way to cover war is to follow the road offered by the dominant army. In Afghanistan, that often meant journalists were embedded with U.S. or NATO troops, and saw the war and the world around it through their eyes. Guest Bette Dam is a Dutch journalist who covered the war in Afghanistan for 15 years. She began her coverage in 2006, embedded with the Dutch troops fighting there. She's the author of two books: Looking for the Enemy, Mullah Omar and the Unknown Taliban, and A Man in a Motorcycle, How Hamid Karzai Came to Power. Dam also teaches a class called "Unlearning Afghanistan" at Sciences Po in Paris, and is working on a PhD at the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels on the role of media in conflict. In the course of her reporting Dam realized that most Western journalists were providing a distorted view of the war. It left out the perspective of the Afghan people, and made the country appear more dangerous than it really was. And Dam says the press missed opportunities to hold the U.S. and NATO to account for major blunders – including overlooking the fact that the Taliban surrendered in December 2001. More than 2,000 have died and over 9,000 have been injured in an earthquake that hit western Afghanistan on Saturday, October 7.

Taliban Reveal Grave of Mullah Omar -Abdul Qahar Balkhi by Radio Islam

Chris "Dutch" Moyer is a retired JSOC operator and current tactics instructor. On 9/11, Dutch and his team were training in hand-to-hand combat when they were told about the attack on the World Trade Center. Just over a month later, Dutch and his team were assaulting Mullah Omar's compound outside of Kandahar (OBJ Gecko). This air assault raid is the longest in the history of warfare and Dutch shares his story for the first time.

Eric, Rob and Rudy join for the second part of the Afghanistan podcast, which covers the start of the Afghan civil war, the birth of the Taliban and their takeover of the country, 9/11 and the US Invasion, the period of the occupation government and the Taliban resurgence and return. We discuss the origins of the Taliban, and what has made them popular throughout the decades, what the US occupation government meant to the Afghan people, the differences between the first and second Emirates, the enigmatic figure of Mullah Omar, as well as the Taliban-Bin Laden relationships. We conclude with thoughts on what can we learn from this whole period, including thoughts on the topics of stageism and ethnicity.

Kandahar è la città del Mullah Omar, il fondatore del movimento talebano. Fu scelta come capitale del primo Emirato Islamico dal 1996 al 2001. E' qui, in Piazza dei Martiri, che lo scorso 12 agosto la storia ha fatto il giro. Caduta di nuovo Kandahar in mano ai talebani, i sostenitori hanno invaso le strade gridando vittoria contro il nemico invasore. Abbiamo attraversato la città e i distretti rurali per cercare di analizzare le radici del consenso talebano e gli errori dell'Occidente, attraverso le voci dei nuovi amministratori, i Mullah che presiedono gli uffici e le istituzioni e attraverso le voci dei cittadini comuni, insegnati e coltivatori d'oppio.

The Taliban has appointed Mohammad Hasan Akhund as head of Afghanistan's new caretaker government, weeks after it took control of the country in a rapid offensive.The list of cabinet members announced by chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on Tuesday was dominated by members of the group's old guard, with no women included.Abdul Ghani Baradar, the head of the Taliban's political office, will be the deputy leader while Sirajuddin Haqqani, son of the founder of the Haqqani Network, has been named as interior minister.Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, son of Mullah Omar, has been named as defence minister.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Mittwoch – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Pariser Terror-Prozess beginnt Fast sechs Jahre nach der Anschlagsserie von Paris müssen sich 20 Angeklagte von diesem Mittwoch an in der französischen Hauptstadt vor Gericht verantworten. Unter ihnen befindet sich das letzte noch lebende mutmaßliche Mitglied des islamistischen Terrorkommandos, der Franko-Marokkaner Salah Abdeslam. Bei nahezu zeitgleichen Angriffen im Konzertsaal Bataclan, auf Straßencafés und an einem Fußballstadion waren im November 2015 insgesamt 130 Menschen ermordet worden, mehrere hundert wurden verletzt. Ein Urteil ist frühestens im Mai 2022 zu erwarten. Bolsonaro droht Richtern Die Feierlichkeiten zum Unabhängikeitstag in Brasilien wurden überschattet von Einschüchterungsversuchen des Präsidenten gegen die Justiz des südamerikanischen Landes. Auf einer Kundgebung mit Tausenden Anhängern in der Hauptstadt Brasília drohte Jair Bolsonaro dem Obersten Gerichtshof mit Konsequenzen. Mit Entscheidungen gegen Bolsonaro-Anhänger hatte einer der höchsten Richter den Unmut des Präsidenten auf sich gezogen. Vielerorts gingen auch Bolsonaro-Gegner auf die Straße. Auf einer Demonstration in Rio de Janeiro forderten Teilnehmer ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen den rechtspopulistischen Präsidenten. Mexiko entkriminalisiert Abtreibungen Der Oberste Gerichtshof Mexikos hat ein absolutes Abtreibungsverbot für verfassungswidrig erklärt. Das Urteil bezieht sich auf Schwangerschaftsabbrüche im nördlichen Bundesstaat Coahuila. Allerdings stellt die Entscheidung einen Präzedenzfall dar und wirkt sich deshalb auf sämtliche Bundesstaaten Mexikos aus. Das lateinamerikanische Land wird so zum bevölkerungsreichsten Staat mit katholischer Mehrheit, in dem die Abtreibung entkriminalisiert wird. Die Frauenrechtsorganisation GIRE bezeichnet das einstimmige Urteil der zehn Richter als "historisch". Corona verursacht massive Kollateralschäden Die COVID-19-Pandemie wirkt sich "verheerend" auf den Kampf gegen andere tödliche Krankheiten aus. Das berichtet der "Global Fund" zur Bekämpfung von Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria in Genf. So habe es im Jahr 2020 "bedeutend" weniger HIV-Tests und Präventionsangebote gegeben. Bei der Tuberkulose seien die Pandemie-Auswirkungen ebenfalls "katastrophal" gewesen, heißt es im aktuellen Bericht des "Global Fund". Er wurde 2002 gegründet und investiert nach eigenen Angaben jährlich mehr als vier Milliarden Dollar zur Unterstützung von Programmen, die in mehr als 100 Ländern durchgeführt werden. Taliban setzen Übergangsregierung ein In Afghanistan haben die radikalislamischen Taliban Mullah Hassan Akhund zum Chef der neuen Regierung ernannt. Das teilte ein Taliban-Sprecher in Kabul mit. Zugleich wies er darauf hin, dass alle Regierungsposten zunächst kommissarisch vergeben wurden. Akhund war enger Weggefährte von Mullah Omar, einem der Gründer der Taliban und Staatsoberhaupt während deren erster Herrschaft von 1996 bis 2001. Stellvertreter Akhunds soll Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar werden, bislang Chef des politischen Büros der Islamisten. Insgesamt besetzten die Taliban 33 Regierungspositionen. Biden spricht von "Alarmstufe rot" Nach verheerenden Überschwemmungen im Nordosten der USA hat Präsident Joe Biden mit drastischen Worten vor den Folgen des Klimawandels gewarnt. Die rasant fortschreitenden Veränderungen des Klimas entsprächen der "Alarmstufe rot", sagte Biden bei einem Besuch im Katastrophengebiet. "Das Land und die Welt sind in Gefahr. Das ist keine Übertreibung. Das ist eine Tatsache", so der US-Präsident wörtlich. Nun müsse verhindert werden, dass es noch schlimmer werde. Er werde deswegen auch an der Weltklimakonferenz im November in Glasgow in Schottland teilnehmen, kündigte Biden an. Hitzerekord im Sommer Die Monate Juni, Juli und August waren in Europa die wärmsten seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen. Nach Angaben des EU-Erdbeobachtungsprogramms Copernicus lag die Durchschnittstemperatur fast ein Grad über dem Schnitt der Jahre 1991 bis 2020. Innerhalb Europas gab es regional teils beträchtliche Unterschiede: Im August waren die Werte in Nordeuropa unter dem Durchschnitt, im Osten darüber, während in den Mittelmeerländern extrem hohe Temperaturen herrschten.

Efter årtier på flugt vender den mægtige Mullah Baradar i august tilbage til Afghanistan. Manden, der sandsynligvis bliver landets nye leder. Sammen med sin teenageven Mullah Omar grundlagde han Taliban og fik blod på hænderne under Talibanstyret i 1990'erne. Men da Mullah Baradar sidste år leder de Trump-styrede fredsforhandlinger mellem Taliban og den afghanske regering, fremstår han pludselig moderat. Så hvem er den nye leder i virkeligheden? Mona Sheikh forsker i Taliban og fortæller, hvad vi kan forvente os af Afghanistans nye herskere. Vært: Knud Brix.

Wer sind die neuen afghanischen Machthaber? Wird Afghanistan wieder zum Anziehungspunkt für Terroristen? Einblicke in die neuen afghanischen Strukturen von Konfliktforscher Hans-Joachim Giessmann von der Berghof Foundation. Während Deutschland und andere Alliierte Hals über Kopf ihre Leute aus Afghanistan ausfliegen, kommen immer mehr hochrangige Mitglieder der Taliban ins Land. Einst wurden sie von Mullah Omar geführt. Jetzt gehört sein ältester Sohn Jakub zum neuen Führungs-Quartett. Viele Afghanen haben Angst vor den neuen Machthabern, andere haben Hoffnung. Schließlich sei, so meint Hans-Joachim Giessmann, die vom Westen implementierte Regierung “nicht starken Taliban gewichen, sondern sei einfach implodiert”. Giessmann hat bis Anfang der Woche in Doha die Friedensverhandlungen der Taliban mit der Ex-Regierung begleitet. Die neue Führungsmannschaft sei "durchaus gebildet und belesen". Unter den Verhandlern seien aber auch Leute gewesen, die durch ihre Jahre in Gefängnissen traumatisiert und misstrauisch geworden seien. Es gebe unter den Taliban zudem viele verschiedene Strömungen, die bislang durch den gemeinsamen Gegner geeint wurden: die jetzt geflohene Regierung. Bald werde sich jedoch zeigen, ob sich der alte oder neue Teil, der "gemäßigte" oder der radikale Flügel durchsetzen werde. "Auf jeden Fall aber gibt es einen großen Push für die islamischen Bewegungen in aller Welt, die die Taliban als ihre Vorbilder feiern."

After 1991, former Soviet agent Viktor Bout set about carving a new career for himself as an arms dealer. His exploits would earn him the nickname the ‘Merchant of Death’. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

Mullah Omar, not to be confused with the Jihadist, but the warlord sits down with the guys to tell us just how "Unfuckwitable" he is. With a deep dive into his debut project titled "Unfuckwitable", he tells us why his name is his name, his love for Griselda's sound and the inspiration they provide. We also talk about Islam and how it plays part in his music as well as how it has guided him thus far. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/high-codes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/high-codes/support

Bette Dam is een onderzoeksjournaliste die vier jaar heeft gewoond en gewerkt in Afghanistan en al sinds 2006 kwesties ten aanzien van dat Centraal-Aziatische land verslaat. Önder Kaya sprak met Dam over de Turkse vriendschap met Afghanistan, die zeer sterk is vanwege de gedeelde islamitische rechtsschool die de Turken en Afghanen volgen: het hanafisme. Bette Dam bezocht om deze reden in het verleden Turkse troepen in de noordelijk Afghaanse stad Mazar-i-Sharif. De Turken hebben middels de Gülen-charterscholen lange tijd belangrijke invloed gehad in de gedeeltelijk door Oezbeken bevolkte noordelijke gebieden van Afghanistan (‘Gülen-scholen’ naar Fethullah Gülen, de Turkse geestelijke leider die na de couppoging in Turkije in 2016 door de Turkse president Erdogan als staatsvijand zou worden aangemerkt). Turkije heeft in de jaren twintig onder Ataturk zelfs model gestaan voor hervormingen in Afghanistan, nadat Amanullah Khan, de toenmalige koning van Afghanistan, afreisde naar Turkije om de vruchten van de Turkse modernisering en verwestering met eigen ogen te observeren. Dat de Turkse invloed belangrijk is om de politieke verhoudingen in Afghanistan te begrijpen, realiseerde Dam toen ze ontdekte dat de door de Amerikaanse troepen gezochte Talibanleider mullah Omar geen wahabist was. Het wahabisme is een Saoedische orthodoxe variant van de islam, waartoe ook Al-Qaida-leider Osama bin Laden behoorde, die sterk is geïnspireerd door de puriteinse islamitische rechtsschool hanbalisme (die metaforische interpretaties van de Koran afwijst). Mullah Omar bleek - zo ontdekte Dam - onder invloed te staan van het soefisme, een mystieke, humanistische stroming binnen de islam die middels het universeel soefisme ook Nederlandse aanhangers als de in 2019 overleden oud-minister Johan Witteveen (VVD) kende.

Na 11 september 2001 werden de Afghaanse taliban al snel beschouwd als de voornaamste vijand in de War on Terror. Is dat terecht? Het verhaal van een terrorist die een vriend wil zijn. Een zoektocht naar oud talibanleider Mullah Omar. Maar het boek gaat ook over journalistiek bedrijven, over hoor en wederhoor. Journalist Nian Bakal in gesprek met journalist en schrijver Bette Dam. Vijf jaar lang werkte ze aan haar boek ‘op zoek naar de vijand.’ Bette reisde tot diep in Afghanistan en volgde het verhaal van de mysterieuze talibanleider Omar.

A new book by a Dutch journalist claims Taliban leader Mullah Omar remained in hiding near a US base in Zabul, Afghanistan, until his death in 2013. The release of the book, and an accompanying English-language report contradict earlier evidence that Mullah Omar was in Pakistan. Anand Arni and Nitin Pai tell Aditya Ramanathan why they're sceptical of the new claims.

He became the lead officer for a CIA paramilitary team callsign Foxtrot. They were the first Americans to enter Kandahar, and played a very important role during the beginning of the war.

They Knew They Were Right. Labeling the "Taliban Wing" of the Progressive Movement. Does today's Intolerant Left share certain intellectual affinities with the Taliban of Afghanistan? We consider parallels through the lens of Mullah Omar's 2001 destruction of the ancient "Buddhas of Bamiyan" statues in the Hindu Kush. As the "book burning" Left wages its assault on Free Speech in America, we consider their pretzel-like justifications -- and note an alarming lack of sophistication. How do some Leftists execute the psychological journey from self-supposed purveyors of "tolerance" and "diversity" unto the actual outlawing of oppositional viewpoints? We listen to what Ann Coulter "would have" said had she not been banned from Berkeley, and find it altogether anodyne. Meanwhile, a new Morning Consult poll finds that President Trump is "more trusted" than the national political media. Plus, we offer vignettes on North Korea, the White House Correspondents' Dinner and last night's Kingston Trio concert in Denver.

GRP 73- Back on for this week's podcast are two Green Berets one who is a first generation Special Forces solider, Mike Stahl who served two tours of duty in Vietnam with his first tour on an A-Team, and second tour running recon with CCN (Command and Control North) as a MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam-Studies and Observations Group) One Zero, or Team Leader. Our second guest is Bryan Meyers, A Special Forces Intelligence Sergeant with 8 combat tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Bryan and a fellow Green Beret named Loren Schofield have started a campaign called "Raise the Black" in creating products to sell with the returns going out to help the families and warriors of the ISOF (Iraqi Special Operations Forces) who elements of the Army Special Forces trained and stood up during the beginning of the Iraq war. ISOF has gone on hundreds of combat operations with American Special Forces Teams during the worst of the fighting in Iraq against Al-Qaeda, and the Shia militias of Sadr City. ISOF has single handily stopped ISIS from advancing on Baghdad. They have been fighting non stop for over 10 years. We discussed the similarities of the Army Special Forces first generations and todays warriors. We talked unconventional warfare and what it takes to defeat these radical groups. Below is an excerpt: John: I mentioned earlier the book "Hammer Head Six" written by Forces Captain Ronald Fry. They laid out step by step how to defeat the insurgency in Afghanistan. Its proven. The battle space owners are usually Officers from the infantry. A full bird colonel or a 1-star general is not going to listen to a Special Forces Captain even though he's an induvial who has trained for years and mastered this type of warfare. It seems like the people who know this type of warfare are not allowed to lead the way. Bryan Myers: Just propaganda alone America has not set out to win a war since WW2. We are not fighting to win. You can see it from propaganda that is allowed from the DOD, and Military at the time. "Can you not fight in the war? save your grease. We can use it to kill Nazi's." Let me do what I need to do and I will give you the insight. We had literal transmissions on radio from Mullah Omar from 3rd Special Forces Group of us killing so many during Operation Medusa these commanders in Pakistan wouldn't even answer the phones. They're like I don't want none of that bro.

Segment #1: Israel Hit Southern Lebanon, Despite Agreement to Suspend Air AttacksIsrael struck from the air again today in Southern Lebanon, despite yesterday's promise of a 48-hour suspension. Prime Minister Olmert says there will be no cease-fire and that operations will be expanded. Israel has apologized for yesterday's strike in Qana, where 56 civilians were killed when a bombed house collapsed into the basement. Meantime, two Hezbollah rockets hit near Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel. After canceling her trip to Beirut, Secretary of State Rice is returning to Washington, where President Bush has again called for a multi-nation force to support the Lebanese government in Hezbollah strongholds. We get updates from Jerusalem, Beirut, Washington and the United Nations. Segment #2: NATO Peacekeepers Take Over in Southern AfghanistanIn Afghanistan today, NATO took on its biggest assignment since its founding to oppose the Soviet Union in 1949. NATO's International Security Assistance Force has been assigned to the relatively peaceful north and west of the country for three years. Now British, Dutch and Canadian troops are the main force going south to provide security for Afghans plagued by attacks from Taliban forces and unprotected by a weak central government. With US forces still chasing Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Taliban leaders, and different nations giving their troops different missions, can they work together to provide security against the resurgent Taliban?
