Taliban is entering its third decade, after its emergence in 1996 as an armed movement in Afghanistan. Most Taliban members live with their families in major cities, such as Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, and Jalalabad.
Most of the Taliban militants have settled in the cities, and because of the end of the war in Afghanistan, their living situation has improved. They have more personal lives, and they know the official and governmental style of dealing with people.
