The document analyzes the evolution of the Afghan Taliban, noting signs of moderation including reversing bans on education, social media, and peace negotiations with the Afghan government. It describes the decentralized structure led by Mullah Omar and the Quetta Shura council. While the Taliban remains a lethal insurgency, the document suggests engagement in peace talks could further moderate the group by incorporating it into Afghan civic institutions. However, failing to engage could risk further fragmentation with disaffected commanders possibly defecting to ISIS in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

taliban
The document provides background information on the Taliban in Afghanistan. It discusses the rise of the Taliban starting in the late 1970s during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. With support from the US, the Mujahideen forces were able to force the Soviet withdrawal in 1989. After a civil war broke out, the Taliban movement rose to power in 1994 and captured Kabul in 1996, imposing a strict interpretation of Sharia law. Their oppressive treatment of women and alliance with Al-Qaeda led to the US invasion and fall of the Taliban following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Sectarianism
This document discusses sectarian conflict, specifically in Pakistan. It begins by defining sectarianism and sectarian conflict, noting it arises from discrimination or hatred based on religious subdivisions.

Over 2000 Shia Hazaras have been killed by Sunni terrorists since 2000. Sectarianism has negatively impacted society through economic downfall, political unrest, instability, and weakening defenses. The document applies sociological paradigms like structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism to analyze sectarianism.
Military and Civil Action in Combating Terrorism in the North East
After a successful military operation in a combact area, lasting peace is achieved through
complementary effort by civil actions. In the Northeastern area of Nigeria, military action has considerably
degraded Boko Haram terrorist activities. The terrorists are drastically reduced. They have been flushed out of
their enclaves including a greater part of Sambisa forest. Their arms and sources of funding have Shrinked. Civil
actions have now become expedient: to reorientate the reminants of terrorism, to return children back to school;
to embark on reconstruction of roads, schools, homes, markets, electric supply create Jobs and empower youths.
This study is important due to its contribution to knowledge of the history of north eastern Nigeria.

• servant leadership as a style leaders can use to lead others and organizations;
• how leaders can effectively use the characteristics of servant leadership to positively affect the
leadership process.
Introduction
This case study focuses on servant leadership, specifically the servant leadership of Nelson Mandela.
Throughout his life, Nelson Mandela displayed many servant leadership characteristics, but his
leadership behaviors also cast doubt on his servant leadership at various points in his life. Nelson
Mandela was, without doubt, a great leader, but was he a true servant leader? Before analyzing Nelson
Mandela’s servant leadership abilities, it is necessary to be familiar with the history of South Africa and
the issue – apartheid – that influenced Mandela more than any other.
A brief history of South Africa
When the Union of South Africa came into existence in 1910, African Blacks and other people of color
were barred from becoming members of the new Parliament. In 1912, the African National Congress
(ANC) was formed in an attempt to give minorities a voice and to protest the laws that essentially gave
all political power to the White minority; laws that would eventually lead to apartheid, an Afrikaans
word meaning “the state of being apart”. South Africa gained its independence from Great Britain in
1934, and the Nationalist party, which appealed to extreme Afrikaner nationalists, was formed around
that time.
In 1948, the Nationalist party won the Parliamentary elections and remained in power for the next fifty
years. The Nationalist party made apartheid the official ideology for the new government and for their
fifty-year reign (South African Histroy Online, 2015). Examples of legislation passed by the Nationalist
party to advance apartheid included:
• The Group Areas Act of 1950 (enforced the racial division of land);
• The Population Registration Act of 1950 (classified all citizens by race);
• The Pass Laws of 1952 (restricted movement of Blacks).
The Nationalist party goal was to develop a policy of “separate development”: the division of the Black
population into ethnic nations, each of which was to have its own homeland and eventual
independence. All of this was to be decided, of course, by the Nationalist party in ways that would likely
keep the White minority in power indefinitely (South African Histroy Online, 2015).
The next thirty years featured constant clashes between Blacks and White authorities as the Black
majority attempted to abolish apartheid and gain basic rights. Although Indian and Asian populations
were also involved, Blacks formed the majority of those impacted. In 1961 the United Nations passed
economic sanctions against South Africa to support the abolishment of apartheid, but the Nationalist
Party did n.
Leadership
This document discusses leadership qualities of influential Indian Prime Ministers. It profiles several Prime Ministers including Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and discusses their strengths and accomplishments. It also explores questions around the importance of charisma, being in the right place at the right time, and potential biases in how common people may evaluate a Prime Minister's greatness.
The odd couple
Sunni extremists accounted for 25% of terrorist deaths in 2005 but 70% in 2010, according to reports. The student hypothesizes this is because al-Qaeda splintered after 2001, with factions forming allied but rival groups, increasing violence. Observation of these groups would be needed to test the hypothesis, but surveilling or spying on terrorists presents ethical issues. Based on the evidence, al-Qaeda's fragmentation likely contributed to the rise in deaths blamed on Sunni extremists.
Women Leadership
This document discusses women's leadership and the challenges women face in achieving leadership positions. It summarizes research showing that gender socialization begins at birth and is reinforced by social institutions. It also discusses differences in the typical leadership styles of men and women, with women often exhibiting a more interactive style. Several prominent Indian women leaders are highlighted as examples, including Indira Gandhi, Medha Patkar, Jayalalitha J, Irom Sharmila, Indira Nooyi, Chanda Kochhar, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Ekta Kapoor.

Insurgent Targeting of Teachers as Communications Southern thailand
The document discusses the targeting of schools and teachers by separatist insurgents in southern Thailand. It provides background on the conflict, noting that the three southern provinces have a majority Malay Muslim population that sees itself as culturally distinct from the rest of predominantly Buddhist Thailand. The insurgents use attacks on schools and teachers as a tactic, seeing the education system as promoting Thai culture and assimilation. Over the past decade, insurgents have killed over 170 teachers and bombed or burned over 300 schools. While these attacks aim to undermine the Thai state, they have not significantly furthered the insurgents' goals due to a lack of coverage and understanding of the conflict's roots.

The odd couple
Sunni extremists accounted for 25% of terrorist deaths in 2005 but 70% in 2010, according to reports. The student hypothesizes this is because al-Qaeda splintered after 2001, with factions forming allied but rival groups, increasing violence. Observation of these groups would be needed to test the hypothesis, but surveilling or spying on terrorists presents ethical issues. Based on the evidence, al-Qaeda's fragmentation likely contributed to the rise in deaths blamed on Sunni extremists.

Insurgent Targeting of Teachers as Communications Southern thailand
The document discusses the targeting of schools and teachers by separatist insurgents in southern Thailand. It provides background on the conflict, noting that the three southern provinces have a majority Malay Muslim population that sees itself as culturally distinct from the rest of predominantly Buddhist Thailand. The insurgents use attacks on schools and teachers as a tactic, seeing the education system as promoting Thai culture and assimilation. Over the past decade, insurgents have killed over 170 teachers and bombed or burned over 300 schools. While these attacks aim to undermine the Thai state, they have not significantly furthered the insurgents' goals due to a lack of coverage and understanding of the conflict's roots.

3) Empowering communities is seen as the best way to build resilience to radicalization through resources like the Living Safe Together website that provide information on radicalization and where to seek help.
Mathayas-Dissertation Defense
This dissertation examines India's national policies on women's education since independence in 1947. The research questions analyze how educational opportunities for women have been defined over time, and how the category of "woman" has been constituted and constrained within these policies. The theoretical framework draws on feminist theory and the social construction of target populations in public policy. The methodology uses historical and document analysis of primary and secondary sources to identify themes around the linguistic, social, and cognitive construction of education policies.

The conclusion proposes further research using more inclusive methodologies to understand gender as a dynamic
