Answer:
1- Taliban was the name of the party in control of Afghanistan in 2001.
2- Hold democratic elections was not one of the demands made by the U.S. to the Afghan government in September of 2001.
3- Operation Enduring Freedom ended in late 2014.
Explanation:
1- The Taliban movement follows an extremist modernist Islamic doctrine, whose idea of society is based on strict interpretations of what it must be the life of a Muslim, without giving room for other interpretations that allow some kind of "libertinism", as is usual in democratic societies, and under which it ruled its country from 1996 until it was overthrown in 2001.
2- The invasion of Afghanistan was unleashed in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, of which this country blamed Osama bin Laden. To begin the invasion, the United States relied on a peculiar interpretation of Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, on the right to self-defense.
The declared objective of the invasion was to find Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders to bring them to trial, and to overthrow the government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ruled by the emir Mullah Omar, who in the opinion of the Western powers supported and gave refuge and coverage of Al Qaeda members.
3- On December 28, 2014, the president of the United States, Barack Obama, concluded the ISAF-NATO mission in Afghanistan.
