Prime Minister of Afghanistan specified in the previous documents. After the collapse of Mohammad Najibullah's government, a transitional state was created. Thus, the office of Prime Minister once again played an important role in the history of the nation. There was constant friction between the President and the Premier during this period. The State had collapsed and there was not an effective central Government from 1992 until 1996. Thus, the position became "de facto" ceremonial, with little power in what was left of the Government. The title was abolished when the Taliban forces of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took over control in 1996.
