Afghan government
The Afghan government refers to the political system and institutions that manage Afghanistan. Historically, it has seen various forms of governance, including monarchy and republics, but in recent decades, it has been shaped by conflict, including the Taliban's rule and U.S. involvement post-2001. The government typically includes a president, parliament, and various ministries, but its effectiveness has varied, often hindered by instability, corruption, and challenges in security. In August 2021, the Taliban took control again, resulting in significant changes in governance, law, and civil rights, drawing international attention and concern.
