There are two words that people, particularly, Dari (Farsi) speaking communi­ ties, pronounce similarly: 1) "Ghazi" with ghain; 2) Ghazi with ghaf. Ghazi with ghain means victor. Historically, the term "Ghazi" has a deep root in the tradi­ tionallife of Mghans. During the three Mghan-British wars (1884-1919), the term Ghazi became very popular, and individuals like Amir Akber Khan, the son of Dost Mohammed Khan,became the head of the Ghazian (plural of Ghazi) against the British. At that time individuals who committed to be Ghazian be­ came professional freedom fighters and a handful of these crossed the border from Mghanistan into India to take part in the Indian people's struggle against British rule in this subcontinent. 7. From 1988 to 1992, the situation was a continuous civil war in Mghanistan be­ tween the former Mujahideen groups and Soviet supported government. From 1992-1994, the fight between the Islamic Government of Mghanistan and the opposition riyal groups, particularly the Islamic Party of Hekmatyar, prevented a nationalleadership. From 1996 to 2000, the war between the Taliban forces and the High National Defense Council under General Abdul Rashid Dostam and Ahmed Shah Massoud prevented the formation of a uni ted politicalleadership in Mghanistan. 8.

Watkins, Mary: Afghanistan, Land in Transition (New Jersey: Princeton, 1963), p. 29. 6. According to local and international sources, the Soviet secret operation in Mghanistan was comprised of two sections: 1) the civilian operation led by the KGB that concentrated on civil officers of the Mghan government and non­ government elements; and 2) the military operation led by GRU that concen­ trated on the military officers, in particular, those who were sent 1:0 military schools and training programs in the East Block. These operations also were di­ vided into two major mechanisms: 1) recruiting Mghans as individuals and polit­ ically and ideologically preparing them to work toward the regional interest of the Soviets. This did not mean that these individuals were involved in intelli­ gence operations and became spies. Many of these individuals had their own po­ litical ambitions and personal characteristics with strong nationalist sentiments. But being apart of the general Soviet operation in the region in the long run cat­ egorized them on the side of the Soviets. Therefore, the KGB and the GRU, at­ tempting to benefit from the work of an individual by direct connection, were thought to have the political and ideologicalloyalty to the Soviet leadership. In this case, there were individuals like Hafizullah Amin, who had their own circIe in Mghanistan, and individuals who were working not as a group, like Colonel Abdul,Qader, who'was nurtured by the GRU (Cordovez and Harrison, 1995, p. 26), and Jallalar, a long-term high-ranking official of the Mghan government. In many circumstances, these individuals had a great deal of experience in public af­ fairs and were highly qualified professionals able to have significant influence on the shape of government policies. 2) The KGB and GRU were Recruiting indi­ viduals who were able to establish their own circIe within the party or their eth­ nic and linguistic groups. Among the Pushtons was Hafizullah Amin; among Hazaras, Abdul Karim Missaq; and among Tajiks, Babrak Karma!. 7. Ibid., p. 138. 8. Ibid., p. 141. 9.

Ibid., p. 46. 12. After the Soviet army withdrew from Mghanistan, PD PA changed the title and ideological agenda of the party to "Homeland Party" and tried to represent the modern and traditional, elements of nation politics. But this reform happened after more than a decade of bloodshed, especially, and thePDPA leaders con­ tributed directly to the destruction of the country and also were responsible for the death of one and a half million Mghans. Therefore, such political reform could not rescue the deterioration of the PDPA's regime. 13.

Ibid.,p.143. 19. Ibid.,p.I44. 20. To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen any evidence that there were finan­ dal ties between the Soviet regime and the PDPA before the 1978 coup. But there is evidence that the Soviet operation espedally provided financial support to groups such as the PDPA before seizing government power directed through secondary connections. In the case of PDPA, if it was not direct, it may have hap­ pened through the Indian Communist Party (ICP), National Party in Pakistan, and the Revolutionary People Party of Iran. In general, the finandal support by the Soviets to the parties who believed the Soviet Union to be the center of the socialist world was dependent on 1) the geopolitical importance of the country and 2) the influence of the party among the people. These two issues would be the indicators for the Soviet planners in this particular matter to support the party financially either as a whole or just the leaders. 21. Ibid., p. 144. 22.

Statement of use of third party for editorial help I confirm that parts of my thesis were copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Naira Antoun. 2 Abstract This study explores the popular politics behind the main milestones that shape Nasserist Egypt. The decade leading up to the 1952 revolution was one characterized with a heightened state of popular mobilisation, much of which the Free Officers’ movement capitalized upon. Thus, in focusing on three of the Revolution’s main milestones; the resistance to the tripartite aggression on Port Said (1956), the building of the Aswan High Dam (1960- 1971), and the popular warfare against Israel in Suez (1967-1973), I shed light on the popular struggles behind the events.

  • The Road to Afghanistan
    Introduction Hundreds of books—memoirs, histories, fiction, poetry, chronicles of military units, and journalistic essays—have been written about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. If the topic has not yet been entirely exhausted, it certainly has been very well documented. But what led up to the invasion? How was the decision to bring troops into Afghanistan made? What was the basis for the decision? Who opposed the intervention and who had the final word? And what kind of mystical country is this that lures, with an almost maniacal insistence, the most powerful world states into its snares? In the nineteenth and early twentieth century it was the British, in the 1980s it was the Soviet Union, and now America and its allies continue the legacy. Impoverished and incredibly backward Afghanistan, strange as it may seem, is not just a normal country. Due to its strategically important location in the center of Asia, the mountainous country has long been in the sights of more than its immediate neighbors. But woe to anyone who arrives there with weapon in hand, hoping for an easy gain—the barefoot and illiterate Afghans consistently bury the hopes of the strange foreign soldiers who arrive along with battalions of tanks and strategic bombers. To understand Afghanistan is to see into your own future. To comprehend what happened there, what happens there continually, is to avoid great tragedy. One of the critical moments in the modern history of Afghanistan is the period from April 27, 1978, when the “April Revolution” took place in Kabul and the leftist People’s Democratic Party seized control of the country, until December 27, 1979, when Soviet special forces, obeying their “international duty,” eliminated the ruling leader and installed 1 another leader of the same party in his place.

So that man should understand nature, understand him, and know God through His wondrous Signs. Glory Him in truth, reverence, and unity. The Glorious God who sent Muhammad (PBUH) as Messenger, preaching and working in the dim twilight of history.
