The Northern Alliance are a group of factions with the common goal of toppling the Taliban regime currently in power in Afghanistan. They have been fighting against Taliban control for many years, ever since the Soviet Union withdrew from the country. In November of 2001, they were successful in advancing to control much of the northern part of the country, including the capital Kabul. This was facilitated by extensive bombing of Taliban forces and military infrastructure by the United States during the 2001 U.S. Attack on Afghanistan.
