“…In return, the Saudis immediately severed diplomatic ties. 20 This shows that the Taliban's ruling elite were not aware of realpolitik or diplomacy. In 1999, the Taliban hosted hijackers of an Air India flight, who demanded the release of jailed Islamist fighters from India.…”

“…53 The newly established PDPA regime was not only interested in ruling the country but was also keen to transform Afghanistan by revolutionary policies of land reform, education reform, and changes in family law. 54 The revolutionary regime of the PDPA attempted to clear the country of religious elements and opposing forces, including traditional landowners, the old military establishment, and the Islamic clergy. 55 The regime rejected the country's traditional Islamic symbols of legitimacy by striking religious salutations from government speeches and decrees, and it changed the color of Afghanistan's flag to red.…”

This article focuses on rebel governance and rebel legitimacy during civil war. It investigates how external intervention in support of an incumbent government and withdrawal of external forces shape rebel legitimacy dynamics and rebels' opportunities to govern. It adopts a longitudinal perspective on Afghanistan's Taliban, analyzing three phases of the movement's existence. Moral forms of legitimacy resonated particularly during instances of external intervention, whereas pragmatic forms of legitimacy became more relevant after the withdrawal of external forces and during periods of the Taliban's opponents' ineffective governance. The article is based on a literature review and fieldwork in Afghanistan.

“…The city has known several periods of prosperity and decline that shaped and re-shaped its spatial structure and urban image, the city has a long and rich past and lately it has become the center of population explosion (Barfield, 2010).

As a response to the challenge of rapid growth of urbanization and lack of reliable data for urban planning and management, especially in the developing countries, this paper evaluates land use change and urban spatial expansion, from 1970's to 2018, in Kabul city, the capital of Afghanistan, using satellite images, field observation and socioeconomic data. The city is highly representative of Afghanistan's rapid urbanization process. As the city rapidly expands, there are enormous challenges to the sustainable use of land and resources. The discussion covers the increase in rural-to-urban land conversion, the delineation of urban growth boundaries, urban upgrading, and the investigation of illegal construction. This study considers the aspects of urbanization and land management systems in Afghanistan. Efficient frames are outlined in Kabul for the following elements: governmental self-restraint and policy modification. The results indicated the necessity of appropriate policies and regulations particularly for limiting linear sprawl along the main roads. The conclusion seeks to synthesize land-use interventions into an agenda for Kabul's sustainable development which can also provide a reference for other cities in Afghanistan.
