[edit] Red area on the map

The red area on the map (Northern Alliance held territory) is woefully inaccurate. The Panjshir valley was never taken by the Taliban, in fact, Northern Alliance front lines were several km south of the valley's opening immediately north of Bagram Air Base. Really the map should have a peninsula shaped area of red extending from the area of Badakhshan province, the entire length of the Panjshir valley, to immediately north of Kabul (about 30km). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.104.224.136 (talk) 01:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Borders

I assume the borders of the Emirate are different than the borders of present-day Afghanistan. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 14:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Why would they be any different? --Soman 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

as far as I can tell the borders are the same, I've removed the request.Kmusser 01:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chechen Republic of Ichkeria recognition

I'm going to post this on the talk pages for all three articles in question to try and get some consensus.

• From the Taliban article: despite having diplomatic recognition from only three countries: the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the unrecognized government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
• From the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan article: Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates ever recognized the Taliban government.
• From the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria article: There are no countries that officially recognize Chechen independence... it was recognized by the Taliban, but the ChRI never recognised the Taliban in turn

So did they recognise the Taliban or not? --Horses In The Sky 20:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yandarbiyev did (in 1999), as a former president. --HanzoHattori 23:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

This article provided no useful information, and the term iself was not notable. The "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" was better known as the "Taliban". All of the info here should be merged into Taliban.Bless sins 22:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a bad idea because the Islamic State of Afghanistan is over, but the Taliban still exists.--Patchouli 19:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Right, but the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" was a part of Taliban history. The Taliban started as an anti-Soviet gorup, moved to power, and then after the collapse of thier gov. have started an insurgency.Bless sins 18:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EMIRATE?

I don't think we need an article for this term. I reccommend closing this and opening a small subsection under "Afghanistan" simply mentioning the usage of the term by the Taliban militants. Mehrshad123 06:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

This is a former incarnation of the state and needs its own article covering the period. User:Dimadick
