Soviet Union (old Russia), invaded to support the faltering communist regime, the conflict went on until 1989, when Soviet Union withdrew due to continuous international pressure and the local anti communist fighters. After several civil wars, in 1996 Afghanistan fell to Taliban, the hard-line movement sponsored by Pakistan. Taliban government was only recognised by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as a legitimate government of Afghanistan.  But, after the 11 September 2001 attack in New York City, Pentagon and Pennsylvania - US Allied force, anti-Taliban Northern Alliance toppled the Taliban. In December 2004, Hamid Karzai was elected the President of Afghanistan.
