Answer:
The Taliban remained in power in Afghanistan until 2001.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Taliban are a fundamentalist political-military-Sunni Islamist faction in Afghanistan.
Founded by veterans of the Afghan war against the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Taliban movement follows an extremist Islamic modernist doctrine, albeit disguised as orthodoxy, whose idea of society is based on strict interpretations of what a Muslim's life should be, under which they ruled their country from 1996 until they was overthrown by US forces in 2001, in response to the 9/11 attacks.
