The opposition parties form an alliance as the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (UIFSA).
This essentially anti-Taliban coalition includes the Tajik-dominated Jamiat-i Islami of Rabbani and Massoud; the predominantly Pashtun Hizb-i Islami of Hekmatyar, the Uzbek-dominated Junbish of General Abdul Rashid Dostum; and the Hazara Hizb-i Wahdat with its stronghold in the central mountainous region of the country known as Hazarajat.
