Abstract

The study is an analysis of the new armed forces of the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA)” under the Taliban regime on the remnants of the former Ashraf Ghani-led government. It is evolving and playing a role for the Taliban to justify the socially constructed ideology of their version of Sharia Law in the domain of military affairs. The paper focuses on the question of how the Taliban regime used propaganda to undermine the former Afghan government in its last days and how the decentralized potential of information warfare is keeping the Taliban upward over the recent security affairs of Afghanistan. National integration is being redefined by revamping the armed forces under the Taliban. The Taliban regime desires to gain international legitimacy through a sustainable security apparatus at home to manage internal security and its role in regional stability. The study provides an insightful inquiry into how the Taliban are following suit in the evolution of the military over the existing structures to reshape their administrative affairs in war-torn Afghanistan.
