The Taliban was essentially a nation state within Afghanistan, the fact that they have been removed and are now fighting against forces occupying their formerly controlled land doesn't change that. Their are plenty of areas in which the Pacific front was quite similar, with Japan facing an 'occupying force' on islands that they once controlled.
