The '''Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan''', is what the [[Taliban]] calls itself in [[Afganistan]]. It was founded in 1996 and arose from the chaos of post-Soviet Afghanistan as a fundamentalist politico-religious movement. It lasted five-year until their fall from power in 2001. At present it operates in the shadow. | The '''Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan''', is what the [[Taliban]] calls itself in [[Afganistan]].
