Abstract :

The Taliban government in Afghanistan, which came to power in August 2021, faces several challenges, including economic, political, human rights, and international recognition. This paper addresses the question of the Taliban's failure to honor the promises made to the international community and fellow Afghans. It is argued that despite the apparent unity of the Taliban regime, there are fissures in the system of governance and internal disagreements over the interpretation of Sharia. Honoring the international commitments regarding inclusivity, human rights, and the presence of foreign terrorists breaches the internal legitimacy of the Taliban regime.
