The Taliban were founded in Kandahar in 1994, their founder and many of the experienced fighters who joined them had previously been Afghan mujahideen though. There were a lot of factions that were fighting each other in the aftermath of the Soviet-supported government’s collapse since the broad group of Afghan mujahideen agreed on fighting the Soviets but not on all the other things.
