Abstract

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan transition government that emerged on the map of the world in September 2021 has been faced with various daunting challenges. Starting with the governance, then the very exclusive composition of cabinet raises question because it embodied hardliner Taliban mostly those Taliban who were part of previous Taliban regime. The Taliban alongside the AL-Qaeda and other allied groups have been under the sanctions list by the United States and the allied powers since the 9/11 scenario. Besides, the non-representative transition government, dissent on proportionate representation, division among Taliban ranks and files and the institutions building are major challenges coupled with new constitution formulation. Further to political challenges are the economic challenges and the issue of recognition which are equally terrible. Without recognition the miserable economic situation will be exacerbated and will trigger humanitarian crisis. The researcher has come up with the conclusion that Afghanistan can move towards improvement provided the different stakeholders agree among themselves and establish cordial relations with the external world. Furthermore, institution building would be a great step towards the normalization of the situation in the country coupled with the ‘recognition’ issue by the international community.  

Key Words: Transition Government, Taliban, Recognition, Security, Institution Building.
