From April 28 to June 28, 1992, the President of the Islamic State of Afghanistan was Sebgatullah Mujaddy . Subsequently, Burkhanuddin Rabbani occupied the highest state post.
In September 1996, the capital of the state of Kabul , as well as most of Afghanistan, was captured by the Taliban . Its leaders proclaimed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in the country, the actual capital of which was Kandahar - the residence of Mullah Omar . However, Burhanuddin Rabbani, who led the Northern Alliance forces in the north of the country, continued to be recognized by the international community as the legitimate president of the Islamic State of Afghanistan until December 2001, when the rule of the Taliban, accused of international terrorism , ceased under the pressure of the armed forces of the Northern Alliance, supported by US troops ( operation “Enduring Freedom” - Afghanistan ). December 22, 2001, Rabbani resigned from the post of president of the IGA. At the same time, according to the results of the Bonn conference of Afghan political figures, the Provisional Administration of Afghanistan was formed, headed by its chairman Hamid Karzai .
