Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sibghatullah Mojaddedi | 1992 – 1992 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| Burhanuddin Rabbani | 1992 – 2001 | 9 years | ending not on record | |
| Hamid Karzai | 2001 – 2002 | 1 year | ending not on record |
3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1992 – 2002. Only 10 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Afghanistan, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 5 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
