Some Mujahedinn joined the Taliban others joined the Northern Alliance.
The Taliban as such didnt exist when the Soviets occupied Afghanistan

There was also the native Afghan muj, and the Arab muj, it was not just one
cohesive group.

The Arabs were much more radical and for them it was a relgious battle, for the
Afghans it was getting their country back.

It is a vast oversimplification when people group the Mujahadeed into just one
group, and just treat the later Taliban, as just the Muj that was renamed.
The Afghan muj did not run the country very well, and this helped the Paki
inspired and assisted Taliban to come in, under the guide of returning law and
order to the country. The old Afghan admin retreated to the northern part, and
because the Northern Alliance.

Taliban was not a homegrown creation, although it did play on the fears and
lack of education of many Afghans.
Pakistans ISI was becoming more and more involved with the radical and foreign
elements of the anti soviet resistance, so towards the latter part of the war,
our (US) assistance was going straight to afghan muj, as opposed to going thru
Pakistani intelligence like had been the case.

One of the less talked about aspects of the 2001 Afghan war, was the numbers of
Pakistani troops that were in Afghanistan when hostilities commenced.
Apparently there were quite a few PAF C-130 flights to get their troops out.
