I can tell you where to start reading, but I'm afraid you'll have to do the reading yourself. So, once again, Google that Omar guy. Read his Wikipedia page. You'll learn about the Taliban's connections to the Mujahideen.
There are over ten million civilian deaths in my country every year. People die of all sorts of reasons. That's not what 'genocide' means.
If you read the part of my comment you quoted, you might notice that I was talking about the period immediately after the Soviets left, when the Afghan army did win battles against the Mujahideen. In fact, the Soviets made the same mistake the US would make later - when you directly intervene in another country's,internal matters, even the people who might otherwise have agreed with you will see you as an invader (because, well, you are) and fight you.
