What is Northern Alliance :
The Afghan Northern Alliance, officially known as the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan, was a military alliance of rebel groups that formed in 1996, and operated against Taliban between 1996-2001. The Northern Alliance was originally assembled by key leaders of Afghanistan, particularly President Burhanuddin Rabbani and former Defence Minister Ahmad Shah Massoud. It initially included mostly Tajiks but by 2000, leaders of other ethnic groups had also joined the Northern Alliance.
The Northern Alliance fought a defensive war against the Taliban government. They received support from India, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, USA and Turkmenistan. By 2001 they controlled almost 10% Afghanistan and that never fall into Taliban.
