jan 1, 1992 - Afghan Civil war

Description:

(1992-1996)
On 25 April 1992, a civil war had ignited between three, later five or six, mujahideen armies, when Hezbi Islami led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and supported by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) refused to form a coalition government with other mujahideen groups and tried to conquer Kabul for themselves. After four months, already half a million residents of Kabul had fled the heavily bombarded city.

The following years, several times some of those militant groups formed coalitions, and often broke them again. By mid 1994, Kabul's original population of two million had dropped to 500,000. In 1995–96, the new militia Taliban, supported by Pakistan and ISI, grew to be the strongest force. Late 1994, the Taliban had captured Kandahar, in 1995 they took Herat, early September 1996 Jalalabad, and eventually late September 1996 they captured Kabul. Fighting would continue the following years, often between the now dominant Taliban and other groups.
