Great job and thanks for the reporting. I think president Daud should have listened to his minister and moved to Kandahar. There he wold have received extensive support from strong army divisions that were lined up against Pakistan and even possibly from Iran and Pakistan.

Good stuff but bad translation, terribly bad grammar. If Mr. Bahrami had asked someone with better English it would have looked much more credible. Still informative.

Doud khan was good for the country but what he got was of his own mistakes. He leaned on the communists and trusted them and at the end paid a big price. It is a well known saying that fear people who don't fear God! He stupidly had put Afghanistan on the wrong path, on the path of destruction by leaning on the atheist communists and his stupid ministers who acted like his slaves!
