Tahattomman

Tahattomman, also known as the Tahattok Taliban, was a radical fundamentalist Islamist group based in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. The organization was primarily comprised of Uzbeks, but it also drew members from other ethnic groups.

The group's emergence can be attributed to tensions between the Taliban and the local Uzbek population, particularly with regards to issues of representation and power sharing. Tahattomman's ideology was characterized by a strong anti-Pashtun sentiment, which they saw as being responsible for the country's social and economic stagnation.

The organization began to take shape in the late 1990s, shortly after the Taliban's consolidation of power in 1996. Tahattomman sought to establish an independent Uzbek state within Afghanistan, one that would be free from Pashtun dominance. They employed guerrilla tactics and ambushes to harass Pakistani and Taliban forces in the region, further exacerbating tensions.

In 2001, as foreign forces began to invade Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks, Tahattomman declared allegiance to the Taliban and participated in the initial resistance efforts against the coalition. However, their relationship with the Taliban was often tumultuous, and some analysts suggest that Tahattomman actively sought to undermine the Taliban's authority.

Tahattomman's activities were largely driven by local ethnic and regional interests, and their radical ideology often aligned more closely with those of other, more well-known Islamist groups in the region. Despite their involvement in high-profile conflicts, considerable information about the group remains scarce, and their fate following the collapse of the Taliban rule in 2001 has yet to be thoroughly documented.
