“…The Afghan Mujahideen group is not based on the same political ideology and does not have a movement centre. 59 The group's strength against the Soviet Union came from Afghanistan and was supported by the United States. In 1985, the Mujahideen soldiers held a meeting in Peshawar, forming the Islamic Unity Afghan Warriors (IUAW) Front.…”

The Taliban are currently in control of the government in Afghanistan after taking over the authority from President Ashraf Ghani. The takeover is classified as a government coup because it was not conducted under the Afghan Constitution. Departing from this issue, this normative research examines the background of the Afghan government coup d’etat and analyzes it from the Islamic Constitutional Law perspective. The result concludes that (1) the coup of the Afghan government by the Taliban was triggered by the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan as a follow-up to the Doha agreement made between the United States and the Taliban. After the Taliban succeeded in occupying several areas, including the capital city of Kabul, Ashraf Ghani fled from Afghanistan to the United Arab Emirates, causing the collapse of the government; and (2) from the perspective of Islamic Constitutional Law, the Afghan government coup can be viewed from (a) the obligation to comply with the constitution, and (b) post-coup benefit considerations. Keywords: goverment; coup de etat; Islamic constitutional law.

“…Notwithstanding the dominant paradigm in research on ongoing civil war in Afghanistan, which posits that the highest levels of pro-Taliban mobilization occur in ethnic Pashtun areas in the southern Afghanistan (Johnson and Mason 2008;Nojumi 2016), evidence suggests that the patterns of Taliban mobilization differ not only from one district to another, but also between villages and townships. vii Both in the Pashtun south of Afghanistan and in the tribal belt of Pakistan's North-Western Frontier province, violent mobilization does not occur alongside tribal and clan cleavages, but regardless of them (Haring 2010).…”

Why do some geographical locales experience higher levels of violent mobilization during armed conflicts than others? Existing studies on high-risk mobilization examined economic greed and ethno-nationalist grievances, as well as incentives-and sanctions-based motivations to fight in civil wars. In order to explain violent mobilization beyond the extant theories of participation in civil wars, this article borrows from ethnography, psychology and anthropology the previously unexplored in security studies concept of "belonging" to a locality. Drawing its empirical insights from unique interview data on mass wartime mobilization, which occurred between March and September 2014 in Ukraine, this study argues that belonging to a particular locale serves as a robust cause of violent mobilization.Using a rare sample of former and active members of pro-government paramilitary battalions from one carefully selected locality in Kyiv, reveals that individuals engaged in high-risk mobilization in the East Ukraine's conflict were influenced by the sense of belonging more than by political or ethnic grievances.

Pada 1996-2001, Taliban, sebuah kelompok yang dibentuk oleh Mullah Omar pada tahun 1994 yang berbasis di wilayah Hermand, Kandahar, dan Uruzgan sempat menguasai Afghanistan dengan membentuk sebuah negara yang mereka akui secara de facto yaitu Keamiran Islam Afghanistan yang pada 2001 berhasil digulingkan oleh Amerika Serikat melalui kampanye kontraterorisme, War On Terror. Namun pada 15 Agustus 2021 lalu, Taliban berhasil mengambil kekuasaan Kota Kabul hanya dalam kurun waktu 2 minggu sejak Amerika Serikat, sekutu dan NATO menarik mundur pasukannya. Mudahnya Taliban mengambil alih kekuasaan menandakan bahwa Taliban memiliki cukup legitimasi serta adanya perubahan konstruksi identitas membuat kelompok ini dengan begitu mudah menguasai wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa yang melatarbelakangi Taliban hingga dapat berkuasa kembali di Afghanistan pada tahun 2021. Penelitian ini akan dianalisis menggunakan Teori Legitimasi dan Teori Konstruktivisme di mana melalui kedua teori ini akan dapat disimpulkan bagaimana setelah 20 tahun sejak rezim pertama, Taliban kemudian dapat menguasai kembali pemerintahan Afghanistan.
