On 28 April 1992, following the collapse of the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul, an Islamic council assumed power in Afghanistan and appointed Sibghatullah Mojaddedi as interim President. The council was part of the accords reached by mujahideen factions fighting the communist government. While the change of government carried hope for a new era, Kabul remained contested and the transition unstable. Rival warlord factions refused to accept the new order, leading to increased conflict. The event marked the formal end of one governmental era and the start of a fragile interim period in Afghanistan’s political history.
