This means that the Taliban has not honored its pledge to the U.S. which is stated in the Doha agreement to cut ties with Al Qaeda and that the two organizations remain close. The Taliban have increased protection and support for members of al Qaeda since regaining control of Afghanistan in 2021 when U.S. forces were moved out. Al Qaeda operates five madrasas which are religious schools where it trains and indoctrinates children to become fighters. The Taliban released a statement denying the report saying that the U.S. is spreading propaganda and they also claim that there is no one related to al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda\u2019s current leader is believed to be in Iran and is offering a $10 million reward for information on his whereabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.S. believes al Qaeda senior figures remain in the country of Afghanistan. This will be a major threat to the region and possibly beyond. Al Qaeda is a much weaker organization now and many doubt the Taliban to allow al Qaeda activities in Afghanistan. This is because it can jeopardize the humanitarian support provided to Afghanistan by the United States. The U.S. the largest humanitarian donor in Afghanistan through the U.N. The support form the United States has helped Afghanistan avoid a humanitarian crisis and the Taliban recognizes the support and would not want to risk losing their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This relates to our International Relations class because it involves a security threat from a terrorist organization. Al Qaeda was behind the 9\/11 attack and the United States does not want the terrorist group growing in size and power under their nose. If al Qaeda becomes more powerful in Afghanistan which is controlled by the Taliban it can become a security threat to the region as a whole and potentially globally. The U.N. is also an intergovernmental organization that is supporting Afghanistan humanitarian efforts and if al Qaeda is truly in Afghanistan the funds from the IGO are going to come to a hault and a humanitarian crisis will happen in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/afghanistan-taliban-al-qaeda-growing\/ Al Qaeda has created eight new training camps and maintains multiple safehouses in Afghanistan, according to the United Nations Security Council.
