Afghanistan is in a state of political and social turmoil, with government forces fighting the continuing Taliban insurgency, while other extremist groups, such as Daesh (also known as Islamic State/ISIL/ISIS/IS), outlawed in many countries including the United States and Russia, have also expanded their activities both in the country and in neighboring states.
