The government of Afghanistan, officially called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is the central government of Afghanistan, a unitary state. Under the leadership of the Taliban, the government is a theocracy and an emirate with political power concentrated in the hands of a supreme leader and his clerical advisors, collectively referred to as the Leadership. The Leadership makes all major policy decisions behind closed doors, which are then implemented by the country's civil service and judiciary. As Afghanistan is an Islamic state, governance is based on Sharia, which the Taliban enforces strictly through extensive social and cultural policy.

Over its history, Afghanistan has variously been governed as a monarchy, a republic, and a theocracy. The current theocratic government came to power in 2021 with the Taliban's victory in a twenty-year insurgency against the western-backed Islamic Republic, after having itself been ousted in 2001.

The current government is internationally unrecognized and lacks a clear constitutional basis, though the Taliban has announced plans to form a constitutional commission in the near future. Instead, the government applies an arbitrary interpretation of Sharia. There is no separation of powers, with total authority vested in the Leadership.[1][2] The government is criticized by international observers for totalitarianism,[3] systemic human rights violations, as well as for being unaccountable, opaque, and exclusive of women, religious and ethnic minorities, and those with dissenting views. Since coming to power, it has grappled with an economic crisis, international isolation, terrorism and rebellion, and a string of natural disasters.

Leadership of the Islamic Emirate[edit]

Supreme Leader[edit]

It is responsible for ensuring all policies by the executive conform to Sharia and can overrule decisions made by the Council of Ministers.[21] Other responsibilities include the appointment, removal or replacement, and giving of allegiance, to the Supreme Leader.[22][23]

Central Dar ul-Ifta[edit]

The Central Dar ul-Ifta[24] is responsible for issuing fatwas on various issues.[25] It functions as a religious judicial body,[26] allowed to make quasi-binding decisions on multiple topics its scholars deem to be in line with Islamic Law.[18] Its director is appointed and dismissed by the supreme leader.
