The Taliban got into public consciousness when the group was engaged by the Pakistani government to render protection services for a convoy which intended to open up trade route between Pakistan and Central Asia.
The group comprised of mostly Afghans and were trained in religious schools in Pakistan side by side the Islamic fighters of Al-Qeda.
Mullah Mohammad Omar brought the Taliban into existence.
Omar, a one-eyed puritanical cleric, recruited students from koranic schools.
In its formative years, it was referred to as a student movement.
Today, young Nigerians are recruited into different forms of criminality by those who are supposed to be the basis of moral and behavioral uprightness.
These young people are now the reference point in various societal ills in different parts of the country.
It is quitter disturbing ignorance has overwhelmed the mindset of so many, even in government circles.
All aspects of social life have been corrupted to the extent that the young are now taught and groomed in lawlessness, indiscipline, criminality, immorality, obscenity and profanity.
They no longer exhibit initiative and discernment.
However, the elders are unperturbed.
Sadly, parents and guardians of these young people have continued to exhibit behavior that indicates that they were not properly brought according to acceptable moral standards.
Their orientation and views on issues of common interest are at variance with norms in society.
The government at all levels are to blame.
In 1975, Argentina, under Videla, the terror was well coordinated by government officials in the Ministry Interior, where a comprehensive list of missing people was reportedly kept.
Each military branch had its own intelligence service masterminding kidnappings, torture and executions.
At the top of the ladder was the atrocities of the police, with covert support from those-in-charge.
In addition, a number of Ministries, Departments and Agencies had lists of targets and security agencies operating for them.
The separate arms of state were not only vying for the dubious glory of apprehending more subversives, caging helpless citizens, torturing more people, but also created a system of total lawlessness and criminality.
The kidnappings were done by state sponsored individuals, while the police station and government office, whom were deeply involved, feigned ignorance.
