    Afghanistan is made up of a bunch of tribes. Most who live there don’t see the country of Afghanistan as a whole. The reason the Taliban has such a hold is because of this division and because of how religious the population there is.

      That’s not that different from any other nation in their early development. The point of the nation is to unite tribes into a single nationality.

        Good luck with that in a place that has entire groups that don’t recognize the country at all.

        Except that’s not what happens without force. It’s why the christofascist are trying so hard to force their shit onto people in the USA.
