Afghanistan,officially the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia. Referred to as the Heart of Asia,it is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south,Iran to the west,Turkmenistan to the northwest,Uzbekistan to the north,Tajikistan to the northeast,and China to the northeast and east. Occupying 652,864 square kilometres (252,072 sq mi) of land,the country is predominantly mountainous with plains in the north and the southwest,which are separated by the Hindu Kush mountain range. Kabul is the country's largest city and serves as its capital. As of 2021,Afghanistan's population is 40.2 million,composed of ethnic Pashtuns,Tajiks,Hazaras,Uzbeks,Turkmens,Qizilbash,Aimak,Pashayi,Baloch,Pamiris,Nuristanis,and others.
Kabul is the capital and largest city of Afghanistan. Located in the Eastern half of the country,it is also a municipality,forming part of the Kabul Province;it is administratively divided into 22 municipal districts. According to 2023 estimates,the population of Kabul was 5 million people. In contemporary times,the city has served as Afghanistan's political,cultural,and economical center,and rapid urbanisation has made Kabul the 75th-largest city in the world and the country's primate city.
The Taliban,which also refers to itself by its state name,the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,is a Deobandi Islamic fundamentalist and Pashtun nationalist militant political movement in Afghanistan. It ruled approximately three-quarters of the country from 1996 to 2001,before being overthrown following the American invasion. It recaptured Kabul on 15 August 2021 following the departure of most coalition forces,after nearly 20 years of insurgency,and currently controls all of the country. However,its government is not recognized by any country. The Taliban government has been criticized for restricting human rights in Afghanistan,including the right of women and girls to work and to have an education.
The national flag of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,also used as the flag of the Taliban,consists of a white field with a black Shahada. It was adopted on 15 August 2021 with the victory of the Taliban in the 2001–2021 war. Since the Anglo-Afghan War of 1919,also known as the War of Independence,Afghanistan has used about 19 national flags,more than any other country in this period. The national flag had black,red and green colors most of the time during the period.

The Cabinet of Afghanistan is the executive body of the government of Afghanistan,responsible for day-to-day governance and the implementation of policy set by the Leadership. It is headed by the prime minister—who serves as the nation's head of government—and his deputies,and consists of the heads and deputy heads of the government ministries.
The Afghanistan War was an armed conflict from 2001 to 2021. It began when an international military coalition led by the United States launched an invasion of Afghanistan,toppling the Taliban-ruled Islamic Emirate and establishing the internationally recognized Islamic Republic three years later. The conflict ultimately ended with the 2021 Taliban offensive,which overthrew the Islamic Republic,and re-established the Islamic Emirate. It was the longest war in the military history of the United States,surpassing the length of the Vietnam War (1955–1975) by approximately 6 months.

The United States Armed Forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021,marking the end of the 2001–2021 war. In February 2020,the Trump administration and the Taliban,without the participation of the then Afghan government,signed the US–Taliban deal in Doha,Qatar,which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban,and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments. The Trump administration's US–Taliban deal,and then the Biden administration’s decision in April 2021 to pull out all US troops by September 2021 without leaving a residual force,were the two critical events that caused the begin of the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). Following the deal,the US dramatically reduced the number of air attacks and deprived the ANSF of a critical edge in fighting the Taliban insurgency,leading to the Taliban takeover of Kabul on 15 August 2021.
The Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan,commonly known as the US–Taliban deal or the Doha Agreement,was a peace agreement signed by the United States and the Taliban on February 29,2020 in Doha,Qatar,to bring an end to the 2001–2021 war in Afghanistan. Negotiated by Zalmay Khalilzad,the agreement did not involve the then Afghan government. The deal,which also had secret annexes,was one of the critical events that caused the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces. Adhering to the conditions of the deal,the US dramatically reduced the number of US air raids,leaving the ANDSF without a key advantage in keeping the Taliban at bay. This resulted in 'a sense of abandonment within the ANDSF and the Afghan population'. ANDSF was ill-prepared to sustain security following a US withdrawal,which allowed for the Taliban insurgency,ultimately leading to the Taliban takeover of Kabul on 15 August 2021.
On 15 August 2021,Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul was captured by the Taliban after a major insurgent offensive that began in May 2021. It was the final action of the War in Afghanistan,and marked a total victory for the Taliban. This led to the overthrowing of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan under President Ashraf Ghani and the reinstatement of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban.
The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was a presidential republic that ruled Afghanistan from 2004 to 2021. The state was established to replace the Afghan interim (2001–2002) and transitional (2002–2004) administrations,which were formed after the 2001 United States invasion of Afghanistan that had toppled the partially recognized Taliban-ruled Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. However,on 15 August 2021,the country was recaptured by the Taliban,which marked the end of the 2001–2021 war,the longest war in US history. This led to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic,led by President Ashraf Ghani,and the reinstatement of the Islamic Emirate under the control of the Taliban. The United Nations still recognizes the Islamic Republic as the legitimate government of Afghanistan instead of the Islamic Emirate,the de facto ruling government. The US–Taliban deal,signed on 29 February 2020 in Qatar,was one of the critical events that caused the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). Following the deal,the US dramatically reduced the number of air attacks and deprived the ANSF of a critical edge in fighting the Taliban insurgency,leading to the Taliban takeover of Kabul.
The republican insurgency in Afghanistan is an ongoing armed conflict between the National Resistance Front and allied groups which fight under the banner of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on one side,and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on the other side. On 17 August 2021,former first vice president of Afghanistan Amrullah Saleh declared himself the "caretaker" president of Afghanistan and announced the resistance. On 26 August,a brief ceasefire was declared. On 1 September,talks broke down and fighting resumed as the Taliban attacked resistance positions.
The politics of Afghanistan are based on a totalitarian emirate within the Islamic theocracy in which the Taliban Movement holds a monopoly on power. Dissent is not permitted,and politics are mostly limited to internal Taliban policy debates and power struggles. As the government is provisional,there is no constitution or other basis for the rule of law. The structure is autocratic,with all power concentrated in the hands of the supreme leader and his clerical advisors.
The government of Afghanistan,officially called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,is the central government of Afghanistan,a unitary state. Under the leadership of the Taliban,the government is a theocracy and an emirate with political power concentrated in the hands of a supreme leader and his clerical advisors,collectively referred to as the Leadership. The Leadership makes all major policy decisions behind closed doors,which are then implemented by the country's civil service and judiciary. As Afghanistan is an Islamic state,governance is based on Sharia,which the Taliban enforces strictly through extensive social and cultural policy.
