The way Afghanistan was (90s) and is governed by the Taliban and how that authority and responsibility interacts with the local tribal authorities and governing responsibilities is a unique system outside of history books. It is not a "modern state" with the characteristic strong central government that all states have had for ~200yr or so. Compare to Pakistan or Iran if you want.
