The Taliban officially declared the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” on Thursday, cementing its rule in the country days after capturing the capital city of Kabul and toppling the existing Afghan government.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Taliban, declared the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in a tweet with a photo of the country’s logo.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was the name of the country that was under the rule of the Taliban between 1996 and 2001, before the insurgent group was driven out by U.S.-led forces after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
