(Ar. Students) Islamic fundamentalist militants who came to power in Afghanistan in 1995 and were expelled from the country a few years later by American and native forces.
The word “Taliban” comes from the Arabic word talib, which means “student.” The organization was founded by Mullah Mohammed Omar, an extremely enigmatic individual who went into hiding in 2001 after the organization's fall from power. Members of the Taliban were originally religious students who developed a very conservative interpretation of Islam and the Sharia, or Islamic law. During Afghanistan's long and bitter civil war, members of the Taliban began a slow rise to power, and the group ultimately took control of most of Afghanistan, promising to put a stop to infighting between various bands of mujahideen, or groups of soldiers led by warlords, to make Afghanistan a safer place.

Spanish expression similar to Que Tal or Como Estas (meaning "What's up" "How's it going" "How are you"). However, "QUE TALITA" is primarily used by persons of "tender origin” or persons who are on a bit of a "fruity side". It can also be used in a soft, cute, and feely kinda way to tenderize a person and be able to achieve something that one would not be able to achieve by saying plain "Que Tal"

Get the Que Talita mug.A complete mystery, human but she’s questionable, because she is beyond loyalty and purity, she’s honest and true..she’s amazing. You’ll either hate her at first by judging her too fast - then fall for her. Or you’ll instantly fall in love. And as much as you try to get over this woman... I am telling you, you never will. She’s a curse. You will never find another. Never, ever.
Taliyah Bria, she is a fantasy. She’s un-real, yet she’s real. She’ll make you a believer as soon as you look into her eyes, which lead directly to her soul. She’s a walking day dream, a vacation, an old school vibe. She’s the most beautiful sunset alongside the most beautiful beach.
