False.
After the Soviet withdrawal (1989) Afghanistan descended into civil war among mujahideen factions. The Taliban—not Al‑Qaeda—later seized control of much of the country in the mid‑1990s and imposed order. Al‑Qaeda was a transnational jihadist network (founded by Osama bin Laden) that provided fighters, training and support and used Afghanistan as a safe haven; it did not restore order there.
