The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was a government system established after the fall of the Taliban in 2004, featuring a president, parliament, and a constitution that aimed to promote democracy, rights, and development. It was characterized by efforts to rebuild the country's institutions and promote social reforms, though it faced challenges such as conflict, corruption, and insurgency. In August 2021, the Taliban regained control, ending the republic and leading to the country's current governance under Taliban rule. The period of the Islamic Republic represented Afghanistan's attempt to transition to a modern, democratic state, despite ongoing instability.
