And the People Remain’ 186 Select Bibliography 190 PREFACE PREFACE The idea for this book arose from a visit to Kabul in March 1979 when it became immediately obvious that what was happening in Afghanistan bore little relation to reports appearing in the Western media. Further research subsequently reinforced that impression. Much of the material on which the book is based was collected in the course of my 1979 field trip which took me to India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom as well as Afghanistan and during a follow-up trip to India and Pakistan from December 1980 to January 1981. Unfortunately by then times had changed and on this second occasion the Afghan government refused me a visa. Texts of speeches and statements by Afghan leaders and other Afghan government documents have for the most part been taken from the Kabul Times, since these are in effect the official version. I have however taken the liberty where necessary of adjusting the syntax of the Afghan translator. The problem of transliteration is inescapable, and at the risk of offending the purists I have chosen what appears to be the simplest spelling of Afghan names and have tried to be consistent.

  • 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.

  • From Communism to Nationalism? the Trajectory of “Post-Communist” Ideology in Afghanistan
    From Communism to Nationalism? The Trajectory of “Post-Communist” Ideology in Afghanistan DARREN ATKINSON Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Politics, University of Otago, New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Abstract Afghanistan had an ostensibly “communist” party of government between 1978 and 1992. Hezb-e Demokratik-e Khalq-e Afghanistan (The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan – PDPA) was quasi-Stalinist in organisation and based many of its policies on a crude interpretation of Marxist thought in relation to existing Afghan political structures. During its last years in power the PDPA, under the leadership of President Najibullah from the Parcham (Banner) wing of the party, undertook a process of reform of ideology and re- branded the party as the Hezb-e Watan (Homeland Party of Afghanistan) that became ostensibly “nationalist”, as opposed to communist or leftist, in character. This was the starting point for a transformation of PDPA successor parties towards a form of Afghan nationalism that is still espoused by Kabul-based political movements. This paper will explore the ideological positions of two post-PDPA successor parties that still revere President Najibullah: Hezb-e Milli-e Watan-e Afghanistan (National Homeland Party of Afghanistan) and Hezb-e Watan-e Demokratik-e Afghanistan (Democratic Homeland Party of Afghanistan) and will analyse the reasons behind their decision to position themselves away from their left-wing past towards a position they believe is more palatable among the Afghan people. It will examine the stated ideology of these post-1991 formed parties and will present their development as analogous to the development of post-communist parties that has been seen in other parts of world, albeit with distinctly Afghan explanations behind their reforms.

  • And a Void in the Center. Afghanistan's Political Parties and Where They Come from (1902-2006)
    Islamists, Leftists – and a Void in the Center. Afghanistan's Political Parties and where they come from (1902-2006) Thomas Ruttig Preface With his new publication Thomas Ruttig presents us with a piece of work that is truly remarkable and unique in various regards. It is far more than a mere enumeration and characterization of political parties in Afghanistan, but rather an abstract of Afghan history with a particular focus on the development of organised political movements. The reader is taken on a journey starting out in the early days of the last century when small groups of independent political thinkers in Afghanistan, for the first time, set about agreeing on political aims and adopting a common political agenda. Thomas Ruttig, who has been working on Afghanistan for more than 25 years, analyses the stream of political groupings and parties, neatly intertwining it with political events and developments in the course of the decades. Using his knowledge of both Dari and Pashto, the author also introduces us to the emerging Afghan literature on this subject. Thus, he provides the reader with a deep and detailed insight into prevailing structures and determinants of political life in Afghanistan. Furthermore, his paper makes us aware that the history of an Afghanistan striving for political pluralism and democracy does certainly not begin only after the fall of the Taliban regime five years ago. This should broaden our knowledge of potential partners, who still are too often overlooked, in our common effort to build a peaceful Afghanistan. Thomas Ruttig’s profound knowledge of this country is necessary in order for the reader not to get lost amidst a political landscape that too often is confusing, for veteran and as well as new observers of Afghanistan.

  • Fred Halliday, "War and Revolution in Afghanistan"
    Fred Halliday War and Revolution in Afghanistan The dramatic events in Afghanistan at the end of 1979, with the intervention of Russian forces and the fall of President Hafizullah Amin, come within two years of the uprising of April 1978, through which the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan gained state power. Whilst no-one can predict the outcome of these developments, it is evident that the Afghan revolution is in a gravely weakened condition: it is able to rely on Soviet military support for ultimate survival, but it is, by the same token, all the more vulnerable because of the identification of the new Babrak Karmal government with the army of a foreign power, and because of the dire factionalism within the PDPA that precipitated the new scale of Russian involvement. The key to this crisis lies in the intractable problems which the PDPA has encountered in implementing its revolutionary programme and in the mistakes which it has made in so doing. As in Russia after 1917 a relatively quick seizure of power in the towns has been followed by a much more protracted civil war, waged by counter-revolutionary forces, aided from abroad. Moreover, before the new regime could win the support of the 20 peasantry with effective, and, to them, meaningful reforms, the counter- revolution has been able to mobilize large numbers of the rural poor, and indeed to attribute the chaos and violence of the civil war to the advent of the new regime to power. We know at what cost, and with what consequences, the Bolsheviks were able to defend their initial gains.
