The Afghan government refers to the political system that governs Afghanistan. It has undergone significant changes over the years, especially after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001. The government is structured as an Islamic Republic, with a president serving as the head of state and a parliament that includes both a House of Representatives and a House of Elders. In August 2021, the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, leading to the collapse of the previous government. This shift has raised concerns about human rights, governance, and international relations, as the Taliban has a history of strict interpretations of Islamic law. The future of the Afghan government remains uncertain.
