1992 Islamic uprising

The 1992 Islamic uprising in Afghanistan was an armed rebellion by fundamentalist groups, primarily the Hezb-e Islami led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. It erupted after the collapse of the Soviet-backed Afghan government and the fragile peace process following the Soviet withdrawal. These groups aimed to establish an Islamic state based on their strict interpretation of Islamic law. The uprising involved intense fighting, resulting in widespread destruction and civilian suffering. It significantly destabilized Afghanistan, contributing to ongoing conflict and power struggles among various factions, ultimately shaping the country's turbulent path toward civil war and the rise of the Taliban.
