Áñez's government faced widespread protests from supporters of Evo Morales. Her administration was accused of using excessive force, including military and police crackdowns, resulting in deaths and injuries, particularly in Senkata and Sacaba.

Áñez's government organized new general elections in 2020, which were won by Luis Arce, a candidate from Morales' party. She stepped down after the election, ending her interim presidency.

Áñez was arrested and imprisoned on charges of terrorism, sedition, and conspiracy related to her role in the 2019 political crisis. Her imprisonment was seen by supporters as political persecution and by opponents as justice for human rights abuses.

Mullah Baradar, alongside Mullah Omar, co-founded the Taliban movement in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The group emerged from madrassas and aimed to impose a strict interpretation of Islamic law, eventually capturing Kabul in 1996.

Baradar, as head of the Taliban's political office in Doha, signed the agreement with the United States. The deal outlined the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in exchange for Taliban security guarantees and a commitment to peace talks with the Afghan government.

Following the US withdrawal, Baradar led the Taliban's rapid military offensive that culminated in the capture of Kabul on August 15, 2021. The takeover ended the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and restored Taliban rule.
