February 4, 2015: With most
of the foreign troops gone the Taliban and other outlaws can now engage
in terror attacks with less risk of retaliation. Two decades of Taliban
activity in Afghanistan have taught most tribes that the best way to
deal with this is to arm and defend yourself. The tribes don’t like to
do this because it is expensive (more ammo and weapons are needed) and
disruptive to the lives of tribal members. The Taliban see this
self-defense trend as a major threat. Recruiting and movements are
greatly restricted the more self-defense militias there are.
