The collapse of the Najibullah regime in Kabul in April 1992 not only ended the communist era in Afghanistan but also heralded the end of Pashtun dominance in Afghan politics. Indeed, for many commentators as well as politicians this change in ethnic relations was more significant than the defeat of communism. After briefly discussing the history of ethnic relations in Afghanistan, this essay will describe the decline of the Pashtuns in Afghan politics since April 1992, examine the causes of the decline, and speculate about the future of the nation's ethnic relations
