What is the relationship between anarchy and its people?

When the Soviet Union supported the creation of a puppet Communist State in Afghanistan in 1978, Afghanistan rapidly devolved into a situation of civil discord, especially as the United States supported the Islamic Fundamentalist Mujahedin. When the Soviet Union decided to withdraw military support to the Communist government in Kabul, the Communist government collapsed. The Islamic Fundamentalist Mujahedin, however, did not have enough political know-how to cobble together a government, making Afghanistan effectively a failed state with numerous regional warlords. Another Islamic Fundamentalist group called the Taliban was able to unify much of Afghanistan under their rule and end the failed-state status. After a decade, the United States allied with the tribal warlords evicted by the Taliban, now styled as the Northern Alliance and restored a national government with attenuated local control as opposed to the Taliban-style authoritarian system. In the places where the Afghan government powers do not extend well, it is as if the people were living in anarchy.

No. The Taliban is a Fundamentalist Islamist Group. They actually fought against the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s and the puppet Communist Government of Afghanistan.

What group seized control of Afghanistan in 1996?

After years of civil strife, the Taliban, a violent Islamic organisation, took over control of Afghanistan in 1996. The Taliban, a group of predominantly Pashtun militants who fought against the many warlords vying for control of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, emerged from Islamic schools (madrasas) in Pakistan. When the Taliban first gained notoriety as a political and military organisation in 1994, they had already seized control of the majority of the nation and the capital city of Kabul, creating the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban's administration was distinguished by the rigid application of their interpretation of Islamic law, which included the enslavement of women, the outlawing of music and television, and the severe punishment of dissidents. Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognised the Taliban as a legitimate administration.
