the spelling of taliban has been standardised by english media, including the bbc, some time ago, for the reason I mentioned
All the major british papers and media outlets use it and have it in their style guides for well over a decade now. It's also what the Taliban call themselves when they release things in English, but who are they to know?
You probably just didn't notice, as they probably still use the variation with the incorrectly matching phoneme on the blogs you frequent. It's not a big deal, I was just curious what defence you'd blather this time instead of admitting you were in error
