Who was the President of Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War?
During the later stages of the civil war and the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, there was significant political instability and changes in leadership. By the time the Taliban gained control of Kabul in 1996, the country was effectively under the rule of the Taliban's leadership, with Mullah Mohammed Omar as their de facto leader. However, again, it's important to note that the Taliban's rule was not internationally recognized.
