1994 Dyad Archive
Comment on Active: During the fall of 1994, reports started to appear about a new religious group called Taleban, which set out to drive the guerrillas from Kandahar in southern Afghanistan. Hekmatyar’s Hizb-i Islami had for a long time manned checkpoints along the main road between the border city of Spin Boldak and Helmand province, an important trade route for goods from Pakistan. The guerrillas used the checkpoints to extract money from the traders. The Taleban wanted to open up the roads and gained significant support for their campaign to secure the highway and prevent robbery. They took control of Spin Boldak in mid-October and moved on to Kandahar city in November. By the end of the year they had forced Hizb-i Islami to retreat to its bases in the eastern parts of Afghanistan.

1995 Dyad Archive
Comment on Active: In February 1995, Taleban entered Maydan Wardag province and Hizb-i Islami’s bases around Kabul came under threat. On 10 February the provincial capital Maydan Shar fell after heavy fighting and on 14 February the Taleban moved into Hizb-i Islami’s headquarters in Charasyab. Hizb-i Islami fled and the Taleban concentrated on fighting government forces in and around Kabul.

2010 Dyad Archive
Comment on Active: In March 2010, fighting between Hekmatyar’s Hizb-i Islami-yi Afghanistan and the Taleban movement flared as the Taleban gained ground in territory which had previously been under Hizb-i Islami control. When the Taleban installed a shadow governor in the northern province of Baghlan, a traditional stronghold of Hizb-i Islami, Hekmatyar’s fighters responded by taking to arms. Afghan officials reported that many Hizb-i Islami fighters joined the government forces when they could not win the battle against the Taleban, but spokesmen from Hizb-i Islami denied those reports. In June and July, fighting between the parties erupted again in the province of Maydan Wardag west of Kabul. The clashes started when the local Taleban commander disarmed the Hizb-i Islami commander in the area.
