FORMATION OF ISLAMIC EMIRATE OF AFGHANISTAN

  • 19/08/2021

The Taliban representatives have declared the creation of a new  'Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan'. The announcement was made after the capture of Kabul by the Taliban forces. The day of declaration is important as it marks the 102nd anniversary of the country gaining independence from the British. The name had earlier been used by the Taliban while they ruled the country between 1996 and 2001 and changed post the intervention from the US-led bloc.
