Rashid, Ahmed. Foiled again: Taliban's advance sets back UN peace. (Afghanistan) Far Eastern Economic Review v158, n9 (March 2, 1995):20. Abstract: The advance of the Islamic student movement Taliban on the Afghan capital Kabul has ended hopes for an incipient United Nations-brokered peace. Demanding new negotiations that include the Taliban, President Burhanuddin Rabbani has reneged on his promise to step down on Feb 19, 1995, and allow the UN to hold elections. Rabbani's rival Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has avoided conflict with Taliban, which like himself is backed by ethnic Pashtuns, but Rabbani's hardened troops may soon be fighting with them.
Rubin, Barnett R. Political elites in Afghanistan: rentier state building, rentier state wrecking. International Journal of Middle East Studies v24, n1 (Feb, 1992):77 (23 pages). Abstract: Marxist-Leninist and Islamic revolutionary political elites have struggled against the Old Regime for power in Afghanistan since 1973. Both groups drew their support from ambitious men whose path to power was impeded by the Old Regime's elite. Those revolutionaries exposed to Western culture tended to become Marxist-Leninists, while those not influenced by the West preferred revolutionary Islam. Afghanistan's status as a rentier nation, dependent on foreign aid and commerce, has meant that neither elite has been able to establish itself in power solidly.
