		From AD50 onwards, Buddhist culture was established in Afghanistan, under the rule of the Kushans, which lasted until the turn of the fifth century (the famous giant statues of Buddha destroyed by the Taleban in 2001 dated from this period).
		Zahir Shah was eventually overthrown by a coup led by his cousin and former Prime Minister, General Sardar Mohammed Daoud (one of the architects of the reform programme) in 1973.
		However, Afghanistan's troubles are far from over; the Taleban are re-emerging as a fighting force in pockets in the south and south-east and much of the country outside Kabul is plagued by local warlords fighting for dominance.
