AFTER GENEVA
Now that the Russia1 troops are on t h d s w a y out from Afgl~anistan~
the
focus on the Afghanistm issue i s on two s&jects: the nature of guvernmmt in
el fok the huge humanitarian assistance which the
international community has indicated w f i l ljrovi.de t o the wartravaged Afgharr-
i s t a n after t h e S o v i e t troops nithdrawal. There are no indications so far how
these two issues are going td lie tackled. The puppt governmm% in EEabd con-
siders itself as the legal. government o f Afghanistan end says it is ready to
it c a l l s the opposition within a codlition, a' post- n a t l y re- '
jetted by the mujahe . The mujaheddin position has been that their jehad had
actually begun against t h e Kabul atheist r e g b e which had captured power a t
Soviet instigation in 1978 and it was a result of a qakiondl jehad for the
topNing of this very government that the Russians invaded Afg
l9?9. Not only did they bvade Afghenistan but the govement a i c h is now in
ed by the occupation forces. The Na j i b
is a successor of that kery government. Therefore t h i s govcmknt should also
be dismantled d o -n- g with t h e withdrawal of Soviet forces.
As regerds the distribution of the econmic assistance to the p a g e
of one should say that,before tacUing that problemsthe s i t w
t i o n should be .made conducive f o r the f i v e million refwees hwn neighbowing
com-t;desand another two million from the Afghan cities to return. I h e ref*
gees are not going t o return t o t h e 'country until there i s a peaceful atmoth
a governen% o f th6i.r choice i s installed. The Afghan mujaheddin
have v o w e d not to stop w a r until they dimable the *Kabul. mpwt regime.
Therefore, there i s not going .to be peace in. Mafghanistan in the
future and m refwees return. T k i s vicious circle would only end if re-
slim and tadfulness i s heeded. This realism and tactfulness wUl also lead
to a just ' a d honorable solution of the Afghanistan problem. The Russians
have to cane t o the point t o redibe t h a t 'the governm&t installed by them in
Kabul i s not supported by t h e overwhelmirig msjority of the people o f

to achieve, i.e. a peaceful, independat and nokaligned Afghanis-

The mujaheddin hiwe d.so t o make some hard choices. They have either t o

held in a peaceful Afghanist& throughout the country and d r a f t a constitution
t o be approved by t h e f i r s t elected parliament convened on t h e basis of a na-
t ion-wide elections in a peaceful Afghanistan. The mujaheddh proposed interim
government, in addition t o being closely associated with the commanders inside
t h e country, ought t o be very much in a position t o tackle the immediate problems
of economic revival of t h e country a t l e a s t t o the point o f pre-1978.
The second scenario c a l l s f o r a master military plan which w i l l require
*
coordination of a l l military forces of the mujaheddin.The biggest stumbling block
i n t h e implementation of an a l l o u t military plan, a f t e r the Soviet withdrawal and
i n case the mujaheddin a r e determined t o embark upon a war o f the cities, i s t h e
fear about c i v i l i a n casualties. I n order t o minimize c i v i l i a n casualties, the
Kabul regime has t o be dismantled both from t h e outside and from the within. Dis-
mantling it from t h e outside would require coordinated, united and joint military
action. And dismantlhg it from t h e within requires utmost resort t o psychological
warfare prompting the c i v i l i a n population t o a l s o bring about the fall of the
regime by any method, f e l l short of wasting innocent lives.

These are trying times f o r the Afghan nation. The socalled Geneva peace
accord has proved t o be no more than a mockery, f o r through it t h e Russians are
now been l e f t free t o achieve what they f a i l e d t o get on the b a t t l e front: the
e s t a b l i s b e n t of a puppet regime in Kabul suceptible t o Kremlin dictates. The
Afghans are resolved not t o allow t h e Russians t o get away with this. But the
Afghans, in order t o undo and f r u s t r a t e t h i s Kremlin strategy, should do a l o t
of homework. We should move-fast but-prudently. Me should not f i e s t i t a t e in imple-
menting our plans just because it might deprive t h i s o r t h a t i n t e r e s t f p m a
share in t h e power. For a s long a s we are stead-fastly moving towards our ulti-
mate goal -- --
t h e establishment of t h e government of God i n Afghanistan we
are safe.
In Summary we should demonstrate c l e a r l y and in black and white t e r n s t h a t
we have gone as far as Islam --
tine r e l i g i o n of peace, j u s t i c e and fairness--
has allowed us t o seek a peaceful and honorable settlement of t h e remaining of
the Afghanistan issue. But i f t h e other side does not heed, we have t o i n f l i c t

Accelerates
After the signhg of the Geneva accord 14 April,the pace of international developnents in
regard t o salving another crucial aspect of the Afghanistan - - the formation of an interim govern-
ment - - issue slowed down. The Russians began t h e i r troops pullout from Afghanistan 15 May as
envisaged i n the accord and the m,monitoring teams went t o Af&anistan and Pakistan t o observe
primarily the troops withdrawal from Afghanistan and non-interference i n the internal a f f a i r s of
Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Russians o f f i c i a l l y made it known that they l o s t more than 13,500 of
t h e i r men in the Afghan war since t h e i r invasion December 27, 19'79. They had more than 35,000 in-
jured arrd more than 300 un-accounted for.The Kremlin and i t s Kabul puppets Launched an i n t e r n a t i o u
drive t o obtain the release of Russian prisoners with the mujaheddin. I n doing so, the communists
once again exhibited t h e i r t r u e nature of chameleon by calling t h e i r soldiers with the myjaheddin
" m s o n e r s of war , a tern which they in the past had purposefully avoided 'in pefem;.2hg ta the
ff

mujaheddin since they do not consider the Afghan mujaheddin a party t o a war but rather they c a l l

As t o where these prisoners are - - in Pakistctn or inside Afghanistan - - was no& known,
The Russians have primarily appealed t o PaMstan t o obtain t h e i r release. The mujaheddin want t o
obtain several concessions before agreeing for t h e i r release: clearing of mines l a i d down by the
corrmunfsts; war reparationi the release of t h e i r m e n in Kabul J a i l s ; Soviet pledge t o have the
15,000'or so Afghan children now stud- in Russia return home, etc, One such deal was already
made when f o r one Rusaian prisoner seven mujaheddin were exchanged i n Kandahar i n June,The Russians
aa&d they have obeained the r e b a s e of 11 of them by the end of June.

The Wdan pullout began fnrm Afghanistan on time. There was an a r t i f i c i a l atmasphere of
f&&e on the day t h e withdrawal took place.The renegade communists showered flowers on the depv-
t$ag invading forces who, accoxktbg t o thm, had come t o perform an internationalist duty. The
A*f maheddin, on the other hand also considered the event a grest success because they
hab kneed dOWI the @JAtslmy.

The mujaheddin still vowed t o h i t the Russians even a t the time of t h e i r withdrawal. They
d m k r a t e d in action that they have nothing t o do with the so called Geneva peace accords which,
emoag other thing., anticipated a ceaaefire i n the country. The mujaheddin were not a party t o the
treaty and, therefore, they did not conaider themselves bound t o i t s provisions. The remarks made by
the head of the UN monitoring team that the w a h e d d i n should refrain f m attacking the departing
M e t troops was unheeded and treated by the resistance as yet another proof of the partiality of
 Hot only the ma'aheddin did not refrain from attacking the dephrting Russian soldiers but
t h e i r b a t t l e s against both Kabul forces and Russian mits s t i l l stationed in different parts of
Afghanistan, increased. The monitoring service of the CCAR has reported an mprecmd&t irkcrease *b
caparison t o Jmuary+rch, t h i s year i n the number of war news since the signing of the Geneva
agreement. The volune of military news in April-June junped by XI$. The mujaheddin*constantly
captured posts, sob- districts and towns and recovering large cache of arms and m u n i t i o n . The
monitoring se&ce of the CCAH reported that the mujaheddin captured between 21 March - 21 June,32
arbdivisions and, three s M s t r i c t s ,
Another aspect of the Afghanistan issue still prominent in international scene was the issue
of anas mpply t o the mujafieddin, The Kabul regime and Moscow both accused Pdcistan of s t i l l a l l o w
ing the mujaheddin t o bring i n arms t o Af'gh&istan, which, according t o the commmists, was a clear .
v i o l a t i h of the Geneva agreements. It may be recalled that the question of anns s a @ i e s ' t o l We
ma&eda -- primarily by the US -- had a t one point threatened the very signing of the Geneva
agrement. WhUe Kremlin insisted that, under i t s obligation t o the Kabul government, it has to
continue suPp1- military equipment t o the r e g h e , the mujaheddin, who t o the communists are
simply nPebelstc, should not be furnished with arms and eqaipnent, The US, on the other hand, agtted
t h a t the W d gcwement was not the legal govewent of the Afghan people and it was the muj&+
din who had mder t h e i r control more than €b@ of the Afghan t e r r i t o r y and, u n t i l the Russians
continued arms supply t o the Fabul regime, Washington will also ship anns t o the muJaheddb, It
was a t h a t a c i t understanding that both Washington and Moscow Kill continue t h e i r military s u p p
lies that the US f i n a l l y agreed t o sign the t r e a t y a s guarantor,
The charges l e v z l e d by the Kabul regim$ against Pakistan f o r not adhering t o the provisions
of the Geneva accords and that Islamabad cdntinued i t s interferences i n the iritemational a f f a i r s
of Af'ghanistan also figured prominently in the news, AS a maiter of f a c t Kabd f i l e d u n t i l 1 9 June
3U protests o r complaints --
a l m ~ a tone every day s h c e the Geneva accords went into force I5 .May
-- with the United Nations monitoring team i n Kabul,
Pakistan, on the o t h e ~hand,
' turned down t h e Kabul charges 'saying that the Afghan war agai-
n s t the Kabul regime was indigenous and stemmed from the determination of the people t o topfie the
cormrunist Kabul regime, Until, the queskion of an interim government -- entailing the replacement
of the Najibullah regime -- was not settled, the war w i l l continue, said Pakistan' and, therefore,
t h e Kabul regime should not use Pakistan a s a scapegoat f o r -i t s misfortunes. The Pakistanis sd*d,.
-
t h e UN monitoring teams e v e d r a d y visited several Afghan-Pakistan border check points and they '

found no indication t o support the Kabul allegations,

But the most prominent aspect of the Afghan issue in the midst of Soviet troops withdrawal
was .the question bf rwo+lita$ion of the Afghm refugees and the revival of i t s economy, The
UN Secretary General Peree de Cuellar appointed Sadruddin Aga Khan, an old hand in refugee a f f a i r s t
t o head the w o r l d o r g ~ ~ a t ~ o n ~ s e f f foorrt creating

Therefore, h i s scenario --
or f o r that matter any other scenario of having the Afghan
factions, including the communists, join a coalition --
i s not acceptable t o the majority of the
Afghans. I f there has t o be a peaceful solutiurt, it should be around the idea of an interim
govexm~entbased on the concept of exc~udingdie-hard communists but one which w i l l wdertake good
relat&ons with Afghan neighbows including Russia, After what the Russians had done i n Afghanistan
they should be happy with a solution of t h i s s o h and halt a c t i v i t i e s which nil1 further anrioy and
alienate the Afghans, Gorbachev --
claiming non-association with the Russ'an blunder i n Afghanis-

it is worked for, The mqjaheddin have now the leverage t o bring about the f a l l of the Kabul c-
a s t regfme througfi military action, and therefore, the Kabul govement will fall sooner o r later,
The Mujaheddin's program i s not only military, but,, as they are determined t o form the next
government of the country, f o r some time they have been busy aorlcing out &nd issuing pmpams.
The folloving are some of the pros and cons of these activities:
-- A t present f o r only a period of three months a spokesman is selected from the leaders of
t h e seven party alliance t o head the alliance - - the IUAM, But they have not been able t o create
a p a m m t l y staffed secretariat and with each spokesman a group of aides come t o the

-- The IUM Supreme Council announced the establishment of an interim mylaheddin gevement
headed by W i n e e r Ahmad Shah 22 February t h i s year. m a t government was a'ctually formed and held
its f i r s t session 18 April (see Al-Noor, 21 Aprfi, 1988). Ahmad Shah was t o serve both a s head of

so it goesx
on.,All these were aimed a t creating an atmosphere of the past, a past t o which the new
generation of Afghans will not return, but the communists are resorting t o it tactically and out
of sheer despair. .
But the Afghan people were not moved, There has been v i r t u a l freese or s t a n d s t i l l on the
anticipated refugee return. The war has not only continued but intensified and the majority of the
people of Afghanistan are a t a count down, waiting the f a l l of the Najib regime. It may sound
castic but that i s how one finds best t o give a roundup of events taking place on the other side.
'
But, wait, Najib went t o New York t o address an empty General Assembly a t the UN and face angry
egg throwing Af'ghan demonstrators and an American demand that h i s plane could not be towed in .
U S territory, He went t o India a l l right tousher the support of the only non-comnunist country 'for

I n the Geneva t a l k s which has now concluded, the parties a t t h e t a l k s , i n the absence of
Afghan nation and without t h e consent of t h i s oppressed nation, a r e t o sign such an agreement which
cannot bring about conditions t o end the war, restore peace and pave the way f o r the voluntary

tion, the Afghan mqjaheddin have already opposed the present .'om of the t a l k s ahd have described
them a s unjust.
The mqjaheddin a r e not bound t o such agreement because: ( a ) our t r u e Musljm nation did not
participate in these talks; (b) UN resolutions stressing the r i g h t o f self determination of nations
has ..ot been heeded in the agreement. It coes not gparantee t h e right of the Afghw people to'd*

I U A M PRESIDENT URGES
TRIAL FOR PDPA HIGH

The following i s the directives issued by t h e IUAM President t o the J u d i c i a l Board

f o r t h e trial of t h e members of the Communists Central Committee including Najib,
The t e x t has been translated i n t o English from Pashtu t e x t published in t h e Sha-
hadat journal,

IN 'ME NAME OF GOD, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL.

The esteemed J u d i c i a l Board of the IUAM: Whereas the Russians have now understood t h a t it
was a blunder t o despatch troops t o Afghanistan, they have signed t h e Geneva accord f o r t h e puU-
out of t h e i r troops from our country. Undoubtedly t h e Najib puppet regime w i l l a l s o not be able t o
survive a f t e r t h e Soviet troops pullout. This hated regime canno? r e s i s t t h e brave mujaheddin with-
out t h e Russian forces, A decision under t h e Shariat should r i g h t now be taken about those who have
been fighting side by side t h e a l i e n forces against the nation throughout t h e l a s t lo years and
have stained t h e i r hands with t h e blood of 1.3 million martyrs and a r e responsible f o r t h e sorro-
ful tragedy of t h e country, Although we have announced amnesty and have given assurance t o a l l
those who repent and once again join the nation, t h e r e a r e undoubtedly some who have e m i t t e d so
many crimes and t h e i r hands a r e so much stained with t h e blood of so many people t h a t they have
sed all the doors f o r a return t o the l a p of the nation. However as t h e N A M President, I want
a' verdict based on Shariat about such criminals,

From my point of view, all members of t h e PDPA's Central Committee, including Najib, should
be t r i e d i n absentia r i g h t now and bhwiat verdict about them should be announced t o t h e e n t i r e
'
nation, so t h a t a f t e r a compiete Soviet troops withdrawal from ~ f ~ h a n i s t These
k. criminals
may be d e a l t with i n accordance with the s h a r i a t requirements, The ordinary people who were decei-
ved and induced by these criminals, t o a c t a s enemies of t h e nation, should be granted general
amnesty and should not be hanned. I a l s o consider i t appropriate t h a t you should announce to t h e
nation t h a t from now on t h e exchange of Soviet POW'S should be avoided and these POW'S should be
kept u n t i l Soviet troops a r e withdrawn from Afghanistan, t h e Najib government i s toppled and an
Islamic government i s established s o t h a t , b y exchanging these Soviet POW'S. we may get hold
of those criminals who must:be ;tried but have f l e d t h e country and sought refugee in Russia, It i s
hoped t h a t you w i l l soon announce your verdict on t h e i s s u e i r i accordance with t h e Islamic Shariat,

His Views
* In regard t o the fomation of ' a coalition government, we must meke it clear that such a coali-
tion wiu not be antong political forces and parties of a nation but it w i l l be a coalit%on between
~slm and infedility,between worshipping Cod and atheim and between the suppressor& the sa+e*
'sed. These are all diamtricd3.y opposed t o each other and they cannot coalesce (~edeyabd-k
5 Wovrmber, 1967).
* Sf today we are t o think about questions such a s leadershilj, o c q u m g important positions and

table before H i m and t h i s w i l l be a big disgrace for us (~edayat-ul-~slm,5 Novenber, 1967).
* A country, where the law of S l w i a t i s not enforced, w i l l never be iriqune fnra alien
(~a~i&t-d-~slam

* Ye are not fighting for gaining power but we are conducting the jehad for the e s t a b l i s h a t of

* If w&tions became d a m r a b l e and c i r ~ s t a n c e sare such a i c h w i l l . sake it impossible t o
form a mujaheddin interim governnent, in that case we agree for the appointment of a n e u t r d person

cipation of those in the future government of Afghanistan who have not refrained from any kind of
oppress- and atrocities so that these PDPA criminals and t r a i t o r s are protected, However,leaders
of the Afghan mujaheddin will never be deceived by such intrigues (~eda~at-ul-1slam,18 February,

e consider the issue of Afghanistanas an issue of the entire free world, The mujahed nation of

endeavouring t o see that a wide ranging plat iform which has been offered by Islam f o r proper gui-
-dance of mankind i s enforced i n i t s entirety, This party believes that the only solution for the
difficulties and miseries engulfing mankind is the establishment of an Islamic order, UqtF1 the
Islamic Shariat i s enforced in different spheres of tk-e social l i f e of the people, hunanity w i l l
always be faced with difficulties and constraints and w i l l never achieve ( r e a l ) social progress,
History is a living testimony of the fact that i f evil intrudes into any aspect of hunan l i f e
it w i l l mdoubtedly penetrate further into the society, In such a society people w i l l refrain from
accepting the connnandments of h i g h t y God, In such societies the valuable guidances issued by the
distinguished messengers of Almighty &d as the basis of l i f e are not accepted,And (in these s o c i b
1

t i e s ) the feeling of accountability in the Hereafter will be defeated i n the conscience of mankind,
I

In any society where the axis of social l i f e of the people revolves arotpld the wishes and
passions of those incharge of affairs, instead of being based above mentioned princiaes, justice
and fairness w i l l inevitably give way t o begemonism and oppression,
Yes, until an obedience t o Cod, belief in the Hereafter and following of the guidance provided
by the messengers of God do not form the basis of hman l i f e , there w i l l be no p s s i b i l i t y for the
establishment of justice and fairness.
Without completely observing the above mentioneCprinciples,any other belief in or 0pMan used
f o r establishment of justice and fairness w i l l have no result other than bringing about new ver-
sions of oppression,
A l t h o w in our country there are too many people who believe i n these (~slamfc)principles,
the belief and order i n which the overwhelming majority of the people believe have not been enfor-
ced and the living order for tk-e people i s not based on the p i l l a r s of t h e i r beliefs,
Therefore, despite the fact that our country i s an Islamic country, the nation is deprived of
the Islamic blessings and thus neither themselves can have benefit from Islamic guidance nor they
can offer any assistance t o the people of the world in t h i s respect,
'Phis party has resolved t o see that lslamic principles are h@emmted actively i n variow
s$heres of the social l i f e and relations among t h e people are conducted on the basis of Islamic
princi@es and instructions. A wide ranging dissemination of Islamic thoughts, long range and con-
sistent struggle against corruption and evil, untiring battle against deviations originating from
old and new types of ignorance of the people constitute the rightful objectives of o w party and
t h i s party i s of the opinionthat,until governments and leaders are refarmed, no reform program
(&g can be implemented, Corrupt govements always bar as a great obstacle the implementation
of refonn programs and they support and defend the reasons leading towards corruption and devfa-
tion, Without a complete reform of the ruling order, neither individual reforms nor the'establi-
Shment of complete justice and fairness i s possible, This party has mobilieed all possible mems
and t r y with all necessary measures t o take positive steps for amanding and changing the
d i n g order and pave the way for Islamic reforms.

In case we want t o sumnarise the objectives of this party i n a few limited sentences W e 8233

and camuption, organizing the social l i f e on Islamic p r k c i p l e s and establishing justice in var-
ious spheres of the l i f e of the people; (3) nourishing virtues and goodness and fighting against
c o m p t i o n and evF1, (4) putting an end t o oppressive and autocratic regimes, establishing the
sovereignty of Islamic principles and rules and using the ruling order for the service of the
people; ( 5) popularixing and extending Islamic way of thinking, reviving the Islamic and n w i s h -
ing the religious feelings of the people; (6) exerting efforts towards strengthening Islamic d w

1. It is an obvious and clear fact that Afghanistan i s an Islamic country the existence of which
has been achieved a t the cost of the blood of f a i t h f u l elements and thousands of God worshipping
mujaheddh have fought f o r the defense of i t s integrity undertaken a t the cost of t h e i r lives.
Therefore, in t h i s land the kind of p o l i t i c a l and cultural a c t i v i t i e s aimed a t propagating un-
is la mi^ beliefs arid ideologies and replacing i l l e g a l l y the Islamic society of Afghanistan into an
m-Islamic one, all such a c t x n t r e ~ ,a;. a matter of fact, are tantamount t o attempts simed a t
eliminating our countryts historic existence. A s a staunch guardian of the existence and integrity
of the country, Hertb-+Islami i s struggling against such activities.

2. Diligent defense of the t e r r i t o r i a l integrity, independence and complete unity of the country
fonns the prominent duty of the Islamic movement of the cowltry and p o l i t i c a l a c t i v i t i e s aimed
a t thedisintegrationof our country and (inciting) l-sti c, local, regional, r a c i a l and sectarian
prejudices w i l l be met with s t i f f resistance of t h i s party.
From our point of view, the independence and survival of the country and security and pt+-
perity of the nation can only be achieved i f a sense of unity, fraternity, and brotherhood i s
revived among the ranks of the members of the nation and a social system based on justice i s estab-
iished in a manner which will enable all the people of the nation t o l i v e in (an atmosphere of)
can#.ete confidence withoa any type of racial, lb-iguistic, regional and secratrian discrimination
and enjoy humen and legitimate rights and God worshipping and piety i s the c r i t e r i a f o r super--
t o r i t y and privilege.
3. We are of the opinion that, ,.unless the following points are truthfully and sincerely accepted
t h e possibility of evolving a firm and durable order w i l l not exist in our country.
a ) fjince the absolute majority of the people of the country demand the esbblishment of a
canplete Islamic order,the sovereigntyof t h i s order should be accepted fn a practical manner and
those who do not heed t h i s obvious fact and are exerting efforts f o r the introdwtion and &
minance of an uk.Islami order should be identified a s the real memiea of the nation and struggle
against them should be reco@%ed a s a legal obligation of a l l members of the nation.

b) Ti&$ t e r r i t o r y is a c m o n land of all the f a i t h f u l l subjects of t h i s country and ia not t h ~

EHlCATION
Attention t o the issues of education and training, from our point of view, a r e of vital
importance. *grams of the Hezb-e-Islami in t h i s f i e l d are summarized a s fallow8
26. The existing f o m of programs for educational and training institutions of the country,
which have become t o t a l l y obsolete Bnd : useless, wU1 be reformed. Because ( a t present) only
technical persons -- and that too, in a very defective manner --
are being trained i n these
Institutions and religious and spiritual education of students have been canpletely forgotton.
This has entailed a profound mental vacuun i n the present educational institutions of the country.
This intellectual vacum paves t h e way f o r the nourishment of a l l . types-of degraded and dejected
thoughts among the ranks of the various components of education,
The various stages of educational system' will be shaped in such a manner so that, from the
very begixming of education u n t i l its f i n a l phase*, this embent need constitutes the pivot of
our attention that the educational institutions of our country should t r a i n such persons and offer
them to the society, who, i n addition t o (acquiring) specialbation in t h e i r particular fields,
would also a t t a h . a completely assured level of Islamic knowledge and would be aware of the Isla-

IN THE FBm OF M30NWC ORDE=R

The existing economic' relations of the people, which has formed the basis of the economic
order i n the country, are based entirely on oppression and injustice. The system is a ( i n fact)
manifestation of all the comption, cruelties ahd injustices of non-Islamic orders and particu-
1ar1y the wrong ecunmic puficies of the un-Islamic governments have further increased t h i s corrupl
t i o n and adversity. Until profotlnd and fundamerrtal changes are brought about i n the economic order,
est&&ishant and r&.i%ation of justice wi13 not be possible, The fundemmtisf changes (in t h i s
sphere) should be carried out i n the Light of Islamic and, under these, the legal
rights of the pwgle should be maintained,
Islamic guidances i n the f i e l d of economic order contain clear, directives and Islamic juris3
psudence has in t h i s connection rendered complete explanations. The economic order, which we w a n t
to achieve,is based on the clear a ~ & m a t i o n srendered by the Islamic 3 ~ s p m ; t d m c eand principles,
The economic policy of the Islamic order consists of the following fundament& points:
e) observance of justice and fairness i n different spheres of economic order,
b) ccwplete eradication of different types of oppression, injustice and exploitation,
c) creation of appropriate, unifom and favourabla working conditions and benefits f o r all
the peopXe,
d) consistent struggle against poverty and hunger and untiring efforts f o r praviding such
conditions that no one may be deprived of h i s pemissible ard natural rights, and
e) s U l f u l and equitable use of national and social (wealth andfcapitals,
For the eccrmplishent of tho aforesaid objectives, the progrw of the Hsab-bIslgmi Afghan-
ia;Lan i n the economic f i e l d is summed up i n the following four sections:

For a long tima, as s result of the prevalence of oppressive and uncIslemic a r s k in the

the mujtaheddin(r&igiou jurisprudents) However, taking in view all these definitions, one can
say that the maJority of the Muslim public, f o r the sake of executing of t h e i r affairs, elect the
e l i t e of t h e i r representatives who have specific Islamic qualities, enjoy specific understading
and vision, piety and 'proper maturity and they, in turn on behalf of the wnmah and the majority of
the Mualim public resort t o the election of the Amir. Of course, according t o another interpreta-
tion, t h e assembly of Muslims comprise those who represent the entire and on behdf of that
up3aah select (a si&le) Amir.

Since in present days such a condition does not prevail in the Islamic world, in the plece of
a s s s b l y OX the Mu~liplswe consider ourselves one of the a s s a b l i e s of the M~slims. Yes, we are
a group of the Muslims who have organized the people related t o us and by following such an objec-
tive, among our other Islamic aims, we are also exerting efforts towards organizing and creating a
(single) assambly of Muslims. Right now, as far a s our organisation is concmed -- the assembly
which represents all the members of the organization and possesses special IsX&c qualifications -

dudsand m c i s l obligations cannot be realized without its wistance, Both Abu s e e d W d r i a d

,
Abu. Hordra have quoted the Holy PropStet peace be upon him, as saying "if three persons are embar-
king on a Journey, they should appoint one from amongst themselves as their Amir," And since the
obligation of the A m i r i s very important and grave, h i s appointment should be meticulously many
ged and a person who may not violate the t r u s t should be elected (as the air); The r e s p n s i b i l i t y
by its very nature is a trust, the same trust which, according t o the Quranic verse %e did Weed
offer the tkst t o the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused t o undertake it,
being s f r d d thererof; but mivl undertook it ,,,"The havens, the earth anb the tnmntafns have ew-
press@ their hel@esrmess t o uphold and discharge the trust, It i s on t h i a basis that the Holy
Awrphet peace be upon hfm, has described the violation of t h i s tmt, which occurs a s a result of
improper election of the Amir, one of the s i p s of the end of the world, A t any; rate, since Islamic
life and sven Life in the society (in gaer&l),depende on the h i r a t e and since care and precision
i n selection (per 'se) are the basis for the welfare, improvanent and goodness and heading it save
t h e society from the danger of collapse and disaster, therefore, i r k addition t o the qualificatioqs
requ2red for membersMp in the Leadership Council, tke folluwhg quaZ#fcatfons we cansidered ,
necerssary for the Anrir, Of course, the numemmess of these qualifications in o m times snd
romeat are t o be relative,
1- He &odd be f a i r ancl just and h i s fairne.8.s and Justice should be based on the five principZes
of Islam, intellect, maturity, freedom and v i r i l i t y , By intellect, according t o scholars, it is
meant the power of perception which w i l l enable a person t o grasp h i s responsibilities. Further-
more the kind of intellect which is meant for an Amir is not tthe intellect which distfnguishes him
fran insme and provides him with the grew af h i s responsibilities but, it is the kind of b t & e c t
wh%& requires the capacity t o ask questions and delegat;@and define responsibilitlss and the one
who f a u s t o f u l l f i l responsibilities entrusted upon a Cod loving and God worshipping individual
c m o t be considered 8s an i r t t e l l a c t d . The Quran says: had we (sintiers) but listened or used our
intelligence, we should not (now) be among the comparii(~nsof the blaging fire;" On another'occae-
ion AZmi&ty God has said.qt is those who a243 endued with .admonition -- those who f u l l f i l Coymen*
of God and those whu f a i l not in their plightedWord,'*r]rte required 45tterlligesleePortheArair 3ncl.W
uperigloe, prudence, wide range glwauance of knowledge, speed of mderstandb&, m i t y $ sto.
2. The Ainir should be a scholar and h i s scholarship i n the Boak arid Sumah and the Qw&c and
-
Sumah s c i a c e s and in the Arabic language- including its f i n i t i e s --
ad.i n the pr+uziples of
h i a h and deduction should be t o such a degree t o help him in bein& famfliar with relahd caram-
&ants and verdicts on various questions in the revelations and in the remarks and say%nge of the
Holy Prophet, peace be upon him,
3- The Arnir should be bzwe md v d o r o w and the Holy Prophet, peace be h i s was the bravest
man of the history and was endowed with a strong heart. Defining of the lirnits of affairs, imple
mantation of laws, control of the people who use their passions (against the detriment d others),
and miling the country retjuire ext;raordimry courage and valor.
4- The Amir should be chaste. He should have chastity of speech and hand a s w b L l a s of his S e U *
He should mt have greed and inclination towards wordly things and towards what i s of the people.
5- me kDir should be generous. I m e - G h ~ l i a l iin h i s deftnition of generosity has said that whm
th$r@is 8 need for gmesofiity t h r i f t b e s s is t&tamornt t o misery and spending is cons%dered
wastefululess when there is a need for restrain, Ancf between these two conditions there fs a concU-
tian of moderation which i s called generosity this is recommended.
6- The Am* should be f o r d e a r * because he mi&% hear unpleasant things and tongues may speak
t o him about what is i n their sorrowful hearts or people might deal c n e l y with him because of
their ignorance. Under all these conditions, it is befitting for an Amir is that he c~hould.axtw-
ci s e forsbaarmce,

7- The Amir sfiould honor h i s p m i s e s and c m i b e n t s . Of course this I s a necessary ethic&

stanQrd for dl Mu@limsspecially for those who & %aged in inviting others t o Islam but above
a l l for the Amirs and those responsible f o r discharging public affairs, Because this qus;tiffcatiun
enhance %mat and, on the contrary, i t s adsence creates an atmosphere of doubt and hesitation and
weakens confideslcs and trust,
& The Wr erhould be patient and perseverant. Since the path t o invitation to Islrua h e
r many ups
and &ms and is f u l l of thorns and i t s responsibi2ities tsre many atxi its obstacles, sufferfngs
8nd trhb are cons%stmt and successive, &erefore all the workers of Islamic Tehrfjt, and special-

and it has been also said that pondering (and having a second t f i o w t ) about things i s fortifica-
tion for safety and hastiness 3s the key fdr repentence. T x v l y a return from f a i t ~ c c a n p l i s of M
use. A l l people, specially the Amirs and those who arc: cngaged i n important. md vltal affairs of
the people, should not issue verdicts or embark on things w i t h hastiness because it will worsen
the a f f a i r s and entail regret,
13- The Amir should be honest and truthful, The Holy Prophet, p a c e be upon him, as quoted by
--eFarsi, has said there are three persons who will not enter the Paradise: the old man who
c a w i t s addtexy, the leader who says lies and the arrogant beggar." Yes, honesty and t ~ t h f ~ s s
provide man with dignity m d increase h i s value and reveraice among the pwple and, on the contra-
ry, deceit and l i e destroy man's confidence and value and people w i l l not respect him,

14.- The Arnir, i n addition t o reliance and resolution should have complete ddecisiveness and should
be f r e e from hesikation and inertia. Those Amirs who lacked decisiveness wiS11- actually irrcit,t the
o m r t d s t t o resort t o further e v i l and corruption and deviate, Lack of decisiveness will always
keep the nation and t k e subjects i n an atmosphere of wander and uncertainty and w i l l . pave the way
for specdations .
1% The b i r should be honest and trustworthy. This honesty i s a l l embracing, The Amir is the gws-
dian of the property, l i f e , religion, honor, dignity and safety of the subjects and t e r r i t o r i a l
in;tatr of the mtion. Wh you who believe, betray not the t r u s t of Goit and tfre apostle, nor mi-

Id. !Fhe Amir should have prudence i n the context of jehad, I n other words, Si addition ta having
a higFi s p i r i t of jehad he should be aware of the condi$ions and relations of the environm-t affec-
ting the fehad and should enjoy cwplete awareness of the pursuance of the jehad and of preserving
and guarding i t s results and quantity. In analyzingt bterpreting and adopting a stand and reaching
a conclusica, be should not be i~f?,uencedby d e c e i t f d ~ - d J f : i e :of

ness s h d d prevail,
17- The Arnir should enjoy the q@ities of speed in action and enthusiasm in discharging h i s affa-
irs, For he is an aramp3.e t o others and people twt- t h e i r speed md rtnthvsiasm h executing
t h e i r affairs in according t o his pace of actf on and enthusiasm, R r t I j r ; ~ m r e it n contparison t o tkta
multitude af obligations, the t h e a t our disposal i s very limited or, i n other words, the volume
of responsibilities is greater than the time and opportunity available and, thus, we have t o didis-
charge inany tasks in a short period of time and during a limited amount of opportunities,
1% The Amir should have dcmination over h i s work and should not be ove*elmed by htdplessness i n
diwharging his responsibilities because such a sense of helplessness is the f i r s t s i s of defeat
and failure and, fyrtberolore, unless men has dcminance over his work, the possibility of instability
in the affairs and failure t o execute properly onets job w i l l always exist.
19- The Amir should have the aoility t o manage. I n other words he should have the power t o manage
the a f f d r s atakirrg use of better methods, and coordinate the training and enplupent of his sub-
J W ~ Si n B pmpr IR-er taking 3n view the priorities and, within the framework of laws and r e p
lations, m 1 v e them as a single body and, assign them proper positions w i t h h an appropriate frame-

 - April- June, l9@

fn the best manner the tasks of the delegation of power ( t o others), controlling, employing and
achieving restllts. During the execution of affairs, he should en joy the support of and popularity
among the people and should mobilize his followers easily and properly towards the realization of
the Islamic objectives of the organization and should make &ximum use of the talents and capability
of his people and preserve the unity of h i s followers, .
21- The Amir shoufd not have inclinations towards special individuals and cliques within the or-
ganisation because this will serve as a great detriment t o the unity of the o r g a s a t i o n and reduce
the general support and t r u s t and thus the Amir w i l l lose his (public) support among h i s followers.
Of course this does not mean that he should refrain from rewarding and caressing the good members of
the orgsnieation and f r a n the support of what i s right and holding justice among members oft the
OrgUtion.
>

22. Wre important is that the Amir should be among the adherence and students of the Hereafter
H i s heart should be mpty of love for material things and wealth and of attaining high= positions
and his action should be purely for the sake of Almighty God.
23- The Amir should have a clean heart and h i s mind and heart should be ciean towards h i s sub--
jects and followers and t h i s requires that he should not succumb t o backbiting. Of course, it does
not mean that the Amir should not make use of seeking information and closely controlling and fall*
wing things for the sake of the pxwservation of public security and interest because ths lattcrr i s

Concerned About Human
Right Abusesby PDPA,
Russians in Afghanistan
mITCIRtS NOTE: The following is the text .of a report issued by Amssty Interns-
t i M a l on human rights situation in general and conditions of p r i s o ~ e r sin parti-
cular i n Afghanistan in 1987. The report was issued 4 Hay, 1988.

On 1 January 1987, D r Najibullah, the General Secretary of the sing PrtopZLet s Democratic
Party of Afghanistan (PCISA)and now also the country*s President, a ~ o u p c e da policy of National
Reconciliation. He l i s t e d six principles of reconciliation - a cease-fire for six months, an end
t o armed struggle in order t o resolve political dikferences, just represmtation in the political
structure and economic l i f e of Afghanistan of political groups other than the PDPA, a general
tmnesty, protection and consolidation of historical, national and cultural traditions, and respect
and observance of the sacred religion of Islam, This policy was announced with the'fu51 official
'

backing of the Soviet Union,

The ReconcUiation policy was reJected by the armed opposition which said it was aimed a t
allowing the Soviet Union t o remain i n Afghanistan while getting the opposition t o disarm. The
armed conflict in Afghanistan intensified during 1981, particularly in the northern part of the
country and in the south-eastern province of Kandahar. Unarmed civilians continued t o be victims
of the war. The UN Specid Rapporteur on Afghanistan estimated that there were just over 14,00Q
civilian casualties between the end of 1986 and August 1987. A s a result of the escalating conf-
l i c t , the refugee influx into Pakistan continued. I n August 1987, according t o the o f f i c i a l Pakis-
t a n i registration lists, there were 3$156,569 Afghan refugees i n the country, The UNHCR e s t b a t e d
t h a t there were 2.2 U i o n Afghan refugees in Iran. Afghans formed the largest refugee group in
the world,
f n t h i s s i t u t i o n of political polarisation and armed conflict, it was d i f f i c u l t t o confirm
an& corroborate testbony on hwm rights violations within Afghanistan; most information came
Pram refugees w h o had fled from the conflict. Amnesty International interviewed refugees in W s -
tan and fndia during October t o December 1987. The testbony was taken from t h & victims and witnes-
ses of human rights violations, This paper limits itself t o eases on bhich first-hand h f o m a t i m
could be gatherad f r h victims and witnesses. h e t o a contindng sense of persona insecurity a d
poZiticaL uncertainty, most informants did not wish t o be named,
Amssty InternationaL is concerned about evidence of a policg of tXdiberate k U i n g s by
 A p r i l - June, 1988

Soviet and Afghan governlent forces during 1987 of Afghan refugees moving towards Pakistan. This
targeting of refugees has been clescril~trcfn the t e s t b o n i e s of survivors and tcitiiesses of such
attacks. Amnesty International is equally concerned about the deljberate k U l i n g of wwrmed civi-
l i a n s in reprisal for attacks by amed bpposition groups. It is further concerned about continu-
ing torture in KHZS) security police interrogation centres, military posts and in the Rit-Gharkhi
cmtral prison in Kabul; mi about political who were taken directly from prison into
aflitary senrice.
The attacks on refugees occurred in the cpntext of the govemlent~sNationd.Reconciliation
policy of 1 Jamwry 1987. The goverrlment had proclaimed u q e r that policy that it wanted Afgharls
already abroad t o come home. A s f o r those taken directly into military service from prison, it
was officially announced that they were "released w uncier an amnesty declared as an integral part
of the National Recanciliation policy,
The negotiated withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, i f 5mpleroented, would reinforce
the responsibility of the authorities i n Kabul to make every effort t o investigate p s t incidents
of unlau2XL killings Md torture and t o bring t o justice those involved i n these incidents in
order t o curb the future occurrence of such i l l e g a l acts, Amriesty International has written t o
the Afghan and Soviet authorities spelling out these issues.

. EXTRA~~DICIAL
FXECUTIONSOF REFUGEES
Soviet and Afghan government military forces seem t o have been carrying out a policy of
deliberate killing of ~'sfugeesfleeing t o Pakistan by attacking buses and groups of women, chil-
dra and men movlng on foot and %n horseback. Kost of these rafwees were fleeing from the in-
t w s e bombing and shelling of their villages by Soviet and Afghan bvernmeit forces r e t a l j a t m
against hit-and-run guerrilla attacks by the armed opposition.
h e s t y International uses the term extrajudicial e?.xecutiont o describe unl.awful and delj-
berate killings carried out by governments or with their acquiescence. I n armed conflicts, extra-
judicial executions are disting~dshedfrom killings that occur as a direct consequence of clashes
-
between contending parties such as the killing of civilians during attacks on positions defen-
-
ded by warring parties and fran killings by accident or error.

Amnesty International has received first-hand information from eye-witnesses and survivors
of attacks on refugees. A fanner, aged 30, who i s a refugee i i t Pishin d i s t r i c t in the Baluchistan
province of Pakistan, and does not wish t o be identified, has provided details of two attacks on
t h e group he was trekking with on their way towards Pakistan. Two other members of the group have
c m b o r a t e d his testimony, This account i s based on t h e i r ststtmalts.
The group of about r00 families l e f t t h e i r village of Sherkhudo i n Carzab d i s t r i c t of the
extreme north-western province of Faryab, bordering the Soviet Union, in mid-Septmber, 1987,
after the intense bombardment of t h e i r village by goverment forces due t o the presence there of
mambera of the armed opposition, Most of the group trekked on foot Enri a few on horseback or on

On 16 January 1988, 12 men belonging t o the armed opposition were taken prisoner i n Kolalgu

testimony provided t o a representative of Amnesty Intenrational by two of the prisoners who survi-
ved; the 12 men were marched i n t o the v i l l a g e mosque and t h e i r hands were t i e d behind t h e i r backs
by the Soviet and Afghan soldiers. Rockets, mortar s h e l l s and ammunition were brought i n t o the
mosque by the soldiers and piled up next t o the prisoners. A detonator operated by a cable leading
i n t o the mosque was then used t o blow up the mosque and the prisoners within it, Three prisoners
survived the brast J l i l e nine were killed, One of the survivors was seriously injured with rrkc-

TORTURE
Amnesty International has interviewed a nunber of Afghans who described having been tortured
during 1987. These testimonies indicate t h a t t o r t u r e continues in Afghanistan, although the avai-
l a b l e information suggests t o r t u r e may not be a s systematic and a s routine a fornr of intttrrogation
a s it was till early 1986, However, t h e extent and frequency of recent t o r t u r e cannot yet be'
assessed because many of those detained by government hgencies in 198'7 have not yet had the oppo*
tunity t o disclose t h e i r experiences under detention. Those who have been able t o r e l a t e t h e i r
detention experiences'were held f o r short periods o r managed t o escape from security police o r
military detention centres. Others described having been tortured shortly before t h e i r release

One of those detained f o r a s h ~ r period
t was a woman of 36 who was formerly a stock-keeper
a t a government pharmacy i n Kabul, She was arrested near Jalalabad t o m while trying t o get t o
Pakistan, The owner of the house where she was staying was a l s o detained. They were taken t o a
Jalalabad detention centre which seemed t o be under the control of the KHAD security police (KHAD
-
has been renamed a s WAD Wazarat-e-Aamniyat-e-Daulati, Ministry of State Security, but i s still
generally known a s KHAD),
The woman says she was verbally abused, beaten and given e l e c t r i c shocks with wires attached
t o her ears and feet, Then the interrogators, whom she was able t o identify by w e , s a t on her
f e e t and sharply banged her knees together. The t o r t u r e took place during t h e f i r s t two days bf
her detention while she was kept i n a sma3l c e l l , She could not l i e down in the c e l l because the
floor was strewn with sharp pebbles and. stones. She was not taken t o the t o i l e t , A bucket in the
t i n y c e l l served a s a t o i l e t and a t t r a c t e d hordes of mosquitoes, Fer daughter was reportedly '
severely beaten and was not allowed t o see her mother during t h e two days a t the detention centre.
Af'ter two days of interrogation, she said she and her daughter were transferred t o the Jala-

that thousands of prisgnera were released during the year. Most of them were, however, between the
ages of 18 and 40 and therefore l i a b l e f o r military service. They were released under Decree No.37,

presence i n the current form, Dr. Dr:~wl;irt<f MJ.,,A,U, Aw:irl would clcnr-ly represent these two p i n t '
of views,,Dr, Braun gave a series of reasons t o support his pessimistic argument, H i s pessimistic
scenario is based on the assumption that the military losses of t h e Soviet Union in Afghanistan
are not compelling for it t o be enough t o leave Afghanistan, The political price which the Soviet
t

Union i s paying within i t s own country i s also something tKat it can s t i l l afford. Not only that
it can afford but f o r Mr.Gorbachev* s own e x i s t a c e it would not be unIdk4.y f o r hiPl @ tkke @
which would present him as a loser. Dr. Braun's assumption regarding global politics are that the
Soviet Union would be successful i n co-opting the West --
i n particular the US f o r such a --
strategy which would prolong indecision, and while t h i s prblogation of indecision continue, it w i l l
remain in Afghanistan,
His assumption about the Afghan struggle i t s e l f i s that the internal r i f t s within the resis-
tance w i l l . be used by the Soviet Union f o r promoting i t s own existence i n the country including
t h e dissentions in ~ a k i s t a n i public
' opinion. So divisions within the Afghanistan resistance
possible divisions in the ~ a k i s t a n ipublic opinion would be used t o sustain Soviets presence.
'

*Dr. Braun, nevertheless, ended h i s pessimistic projections on the note that t h i s c-ot conti-
nue f o r too long. Even though in the short the Soviet Union i s l i k e l y t o promote indecision, co.
opt the West, promote dissentions among ~ f ~ h G struggle,
s promote divisions within the Pakistani.
public opinion t o withhold the possibilities of being presented as a loser.
Mr, A.B. Awari,,on the other hand, said the interests are too valuable f o r the Soviet Union t o
ever completely arrogate those interests but the present form i s f a r too costly, So, in.hisjudge-
ment, t o cut off costs, the Soviet Union w i l l withdraw but, a.s he very graphically put up it, it
wFU be l i k e an Octupiis that has many tentacles and it kll leave behind many of those tentacles.

This has s m e similarity with Dr. Braun's assessment also, according towhich. the most impor-
t a n t tentacles that Soviet Union might leave will be in the north of Hind~.hsh. I n h i s judgment
t h e north of Hindukush has-kost tangible interests of the Soviet Union both by way of bonierS, by
way of Central Asian proximity and of the mineral resources,.
But Mr. A m , however,*has interesting saggestion f o r how t o confront with a situation in
which the Soviet Union would withdraw but leave behind i t s interests, We thinks proper attcimtion
should be paid t o the essence of the Afghan society, That essence, in h i s judgement, i s the lan&
locked geographically constraint of Afghanistan. I n h i s judgement t h i s landlocked situation has
bzen the heart of the Afghanistan foreign policy i n the l a s t 50 years, The suggestion, therefore,
i s that i n that scenario, while the Soviet Union w0ul.d be withdrawing, Afghanistan would s t i l l . r e
main in a d i f f i c u l t situation, because of the existence of Soviet tentacles. Pa3dstan and ather
friends of Afghanistan should help Afghanistan t o get out of it geographic&. constraint ---
tfre
landlocked situation --- and provide t o ughenistan a more institutional form of access ko the
oceans even t o the extent of providing formal port i a o h i t i e s to that country. -

 A p r i l - June, -1988
" ' - - ' - . "'
I c w d l i s t f i v e major types mentioned hem. First, the.three options mentioned by Dr. Tahir
Amin i,e, a socialist govement, a Ziberal secular governrhent and-an I s l e c goverrrment, The

fourth was no government and the f i f t h option i s a s p l i t government between the Soviet-backed
regime and ;the mujaheddin. It was pointed out that t h i s very classification in i t s e l f has c e h a i n
$liey implications f o r Pakistan. Were you t o consider all of them feasible that would have one
s e t of policy implications because then in soma ways you would make yourself willing t o deal with
anyone of those. Were you t o r u l e out some of these options that would have another s e t of policy
implications, the point which i s w e l l taken,
The second area of discussion was how each one of these would behave on certain s e t of issues,
The f i r s t one was a boundary issue, W a n d Line, How that issue would be taken by anyone of these
options? How would the Pakhtunistan issue be treated by anyone of these govement? What kind of .
b i l a t e r a l relations would be established under anyone of these five sets? How would m u l t i l a t e r d
relations be framed wder any one of these? How would the relations in the region particularly
Kabul-Islamabad-Tehran would be framed under one of these five options? m a t would be attitude
towards Islam and the Islamic governments under anyone of these options?
Firstly, what degree of chance would one give t o anyone of these five f o r the subject disc*
sions, A majority -- --
and not a l l ruled out a future socialist government. It was not
quite so mentioned -- but some did point out -- that i f the Soviets presence in Afghanistan con-
tinues, that would be the only way of the continuation of a socialist government, So a socia&ist
government can continue i n Afghanistan but that would not be a posbSovfet scenario, So i f we are
talking about yost-Soviet era, the first option i s ruled out, The second option is a l i b e r a l
government. Most of the speakers, but again not &ll,ruled out the possibility of a l i b e r a l govern-
ment i n Af8hkistan. The arguments given on why a l i b e r a l government i s not feasible was mainly
based on the existence of socialist government which has taken roots in Afghanistan in the l a s t
ten years, Also it should be remembered that the l i b e r a l forces have not made any significant con-
tribution i n the Afghan resistance whereas the Islamic forces have. And, as a consequence, the
l i b e r a l forces have l o s t t h e i r political. and social role in a future post-Soviet Afghanistan.
* The t h i r d option, which t o Mr.Sdehri is the inevitable future scenario of government i n
Afghanistan, i s the logical conclusion of the mujaheddin's struggle. A 4future government t o him,
it would be a maaheddin government and, since the mujaheddin struggle i s an Islamic struggle, it
would have t o be an Islamic g~vernmenteHe made an interesting contrast with the Paldstan Hovemsnt
which he said would not have logically ended because the struggle was not framed in terns of Islam
and K d r ( ~ e d a l i t ~ The
) . struggle was framed i n a preferable government and a no-pref erable

The fourth.option, as mentioned by the Sudanese friends, and our Af@an friend &gre Rabh
elaborated on it, i s that the SovJ.ets have realized that the f i r s t two options i.0, the soaid$.~t
and l i b e r a l government, i s not feasible i n Afghanistan, The only guvernment, that the Soviet8
have discovered w i l l be feasible i n Afghanistan is an Islamic oneelkerefore the Sov;iets eat,
leave Afghanistan in a situation where there is neither a socialie%nor ~eCd.aP,andXIpZ' an
g o v m m t but 'a situation of no g o v e r n a t ,

govement i n the northern half of the country and leave the southern half t o the mujaheddin,
HOW would the different forms respond t o t h e ' ~ u r a n dLine, t h e Pakhtunistan issue, bilateral,
multilateral relations, Islam and Iran? A very definitive s e t of opinion d i d not emerge but there
was a f a i r amount of disagreement on how these governments would behave, A socialist govement
would not recognize the Durand Line so it may use the Pakhtunistan issue a s a weapon cigainst Pak-
i s t a n whenever it finds it desirable, Under a soc&alist regime b i l a t e r a l relations with Pakistan
would be poor, I n multilateriil relations there w i l l bt: rio I)rogrt:sY1 wid Iran w i l l -ontinus its
present policy, Obviously a socialist Soviet-backed govttmnent i r ~Kabul, would not have any posi-
I
t i v e attitude towards Islamic p o l i t i c a l ideals,
The l i b e r a l government, it was suggested by Dr. Tahir Arnin, may not emphasize disputes with
Pakiatm on the Pakhtunisteuz issue, I do not think there was enough d;iscussion on t h i s particular
d
subJect but many of us dispute t h i s assertion that a l i b e r a l government muld forgive the Pakhtoon-
istan issue a s a possible weapon against Pakistan, There was not enough discussion, I would say,
on b i l a t e r a l and multi- lateral relations and relations with the Afghans under a . l i b e r a l secular
regime i n Kabul possibly because it was ruled out a s ve* viable future.
.
We probably had more discussion on the Islamic government in Kabul, How would an Islamic gov-
ernment in Kabul frame i t s relations with Pakistan? F i r s t of a l l , regarding Durand Line and PA-
tamistan, several speakers -- in particular the Afghan speakers -- pointed out that the Wand
Line dispute and Palchtunistan in particular was used a s a publicity instrunent against Pakistan
and an Islamic gcnternment is unlikely t o revive the same instrument. It, was also pointed
out that the P a k h t d s t a n issue has certain vested interests on both sides of the boruidaries nut
only in the central goverrment in Afghariistan but also in the t r i b a l areas of NWFP, But there
was sane suggestions that, G d e r the changed circumstances, these vested i n t e r e s t s have transformed.
t h e i r nature and, as a result, the entire nature of the Pakhtunistan issue and the Durand m e d i h
cussion might be transformed i n the future, It was particularly pointed out by one speaker that we
might have a different s e t of issues a s f a r as Pakhtunj.stan is concerned and that it might also be
colored by the role o f the ~ a s h t uspeaking
' population within Afghanistan.

(h the multilateral issue, one point raised was *here should Afghanistan be placed, in West
Asia o r i n South Asia? Even, under an Islamic and friendly environment, would Pakistan want t o .
deal with,Afghanistan as part of West Asia in combination with Iran and Turkey orworld it would
deal Afghanistan a s part of South Asia possibly in the' S M t C relationship?
P a s t a n would not l i k e t o place Afghanistan i n a'forum.b which India has a big brotherly .
position. The most controversial assessment was regarding the multilateral combination including
Iran, Would it be feasible for a future Islamic brotherly scenario t o have a P&stan-Sr-Mghan-
i s t a n Islamists combination or would there be an Iran-Kabul Islamists combination s t a t e against an
Islamic government in Pakistan? I n other words, are we looking forward in that Islamic scenario t o
the three govenlments work* i n unison or 'are we foreseeing a-future in which anyone of these two
-- whether it is Teheran- Kabul against Islamabad or Islamabad-K&ml against T&ran. We had a
l o t of d;tsag,reemants. in this but I do not t@& that a substantial discussion. cq the mbject

Flnally, ok t h e subject of lolani, how wodd one interpret lslam and would there be three
d i f f e r e n t i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of Islam, one i n Kabul, another i n Tehran and t h e t h i r d in Islamabad? A s

establishing a government through t h e people. An i n t e r e s t i n g issue which was raised by Prof,Fazel
was on t h e Afghan character. Going beyond these s p e c i f i c issues --
some l e g a l and others p o l i t i c &
-- there is t h e question of national character, According t o hinr, t h e Afghans have a national
character with two principal values; one, they would not be subdued t o pressure even from t h e i r own
king and, t h e second, they would remember t o return a favor which is done t o them,

It has been a long journey front 9.30 this morning t o almost 5.00 O'clock t h i s afternoon, with
8 wide rang:! subjects --
some happy and some unhappy --
being discussed here. Some with great e.
animity, t h e others with disagreement. It is, therefore, r a t h e r ' d i f f i c u l t t a s k f o r me t o enlist all
of those-and t o r e f l e c t t h e smttiments. I will, nevertheless, try. I n t h e micro-picture, w i l l t h e
Soviets leave o r w i l l they not leave, i s s t i l l an uncertain subject, and, as Mr. Sulehri pointed
out, we a r e s t i l l in mid-stream. I f t h e Soviets leave, w i l l we have a s o c i a l i s t government o r l i b -
eral government, an Islamic government, no government, s p l i t government, i s a l s o s t i l l a subject of
great mcertainty. What i s , however, a subject with evidence i s destruction which t h e Soviet Union I

has actually caused in t h e l a s t 10 years o r so: destruction ~f t h e physical q u a l i t i e s of Afghanis-

tan, destruction of i t s education, destruction of i t s culture, destructian of i t s s o c i a l fabrics.
Education was perhaps most concrete item. We found out t h a t i n Kabul University l 4 , W student body
was reduced t o 6,000 and even those, all of them not very serious students,and in t h e Polytechnic
and Engineering College a similar kind of s i t u a t i o n has prevailed. Destruction, therefore, i s a
concrete thing which the Soviet Union has brought t o Afghanistan. I n the view of the maaheddin
whUe t h e Soviets destroy, t h e mujaheddin, despite f i g h t i n g a war, build Afghanistan. And a s
Bngineer Abdul Rahim t o l d us t h i s morning, on t h e one side, t h e mujaheddin a r e f i g h t i n g t h e w a r and,
on t h e other they a r e managing t h e l i b e r a t e d t e r r i t o r i e s . I n these l i b e r a t e d t e r r i t o r i e s supplies,
which a r e brought from Soviet Union, a r e d i s t r i b u t e d by t h e mujaheddin. Although supplies t o t h e
bazar are managed by Soviets but t h e supply from the bazar t o t h e rural economy of Afghanistan a r e
managed by the mujaheddin themselves. The mujaheddin rnati*e agriculture, they run rudimentary
-schools,some hospitals and c u l t u r a l a c t i v i t i e s i n t h e l i b e r a t e d areas. These a r e t h e constructive
a c t i v i t i e s which they project they can carry over t o t h e post Soviet period in Afghanistan. They
say t h e jehad has taught them t o manage t h e l i b e r a t e d areas and t h a t lesson i s precisely what will
be a valuable legacy f o r them in t h e p o s t S o v i e t period. They say t h e outside world should s t a r t
supporting them in t h e i r move f o r reconstruction from t h i s very day. And, a s Mr. Paracha pointed
out, war has i t s glamour, h d peace does not. While it i s s t i l l glqorotis, t h e mujaheddin say, t h e r e

f l i c t would not occur after the withdrawal. The Afghan jehad brought together i n unison and i n
borne ways melted, ti riumtt?r of conflicting parties, '.to what extent the same would be p u s i b l e in

the postSoviet period? This is a subject which would require a l o t of pondering, If what was a
reality i n jehad i s t o be a reality in the post Soviet period, it was demonstrated here very str<)n-
gly:, would require a l o t of efforts and a l o t of wisdom, To some countries, however, the message
was very clear. A i r Marshal Ayyaz Khan pointed out that, if India wanted t o intervene, they might
have t o go through a one way dourney, That b m u t us back t o what Mr. A.B. Awan described t o us'
i n the b e g i d n g , yesterday morrting, tf.at only a century ago a few thousand soldiers went into -

Afghanistan and played and enjoyed feasts and flutes with the Afghans but only one of than returned*
even that of half dead. Lessons from the Af&an society, from the Afghan terrain and from the Af-
t

ghan tenasity have been expressed here very strongly and clearly in the l a s t two days, The reserc
voir of support and the compassion from the outside world, just l i k e the strength of the emotions
and the sincerity i n the genuineness of the Afghans, has been presented here not only through a r p
ments but it has also come through the emotions and the flavor of the discussions. The future t h a t
could be predicted i s axtremely hard, The futureology is very hazardous and two days of thinking
perhaps would m t make a dent in the which could be expected from the future, But that
wlc&ainty could perhaps be made more manageable, in some cases w s e humane and in otherfa more
dssirable, if there were intellectual thinking and exchange of ideas such a s the one that we ex-
perienced i n the two d a p , yesterday and today.

called the ineffectiveness of seminars, conferences, resolutions and demands made by hmanity

described the k i l l i n g and massaerss of t h e c i v i l i a n s and specially of the innocent children by

BDUL H A m TmmI, Representative of t h e Islamic League i n Europe ( ~ f g h a n )

Despite sf1 t h e destruction a d despite t h e f a c t t h a t t h e Afghan mountaixis and valleys, being
stained w i t h t h e blood of more than one million martyrs, despite the f a c t t h a t over t h e valleys,
and graveyards, the f l a g s of known and h o r n soldiers a r e waving l i k e a thick jungle all- over
the l q t h and breadth of Afghanistan, we welcome with some caution t h e l a t e s t declaration of the
Secret- Ganeral Mr, Mikhail Gorbatchev in h i s speech on February 8th, 3988? announcing t h e with-
 April- June, 1988

drawal of Soviet forces from Afghulisttzn.

We should also point out that the degree of cooperation and understanding i s clearly defined
i n the declaration of 23 February 1988 issued by Afghan mugaheddin :'LS an important one,

In that declaration while submitting a draft.of a mechanism f o r an interim government, they

proposed a " transitional govementm which w i l l ensure a ceasfire and a peaceful transition t o
law and order and the establislment of a provisional council t o administer the provinces i n order
t o permit the safe and complete withdrawal of the Soviet forces.
The mqjaheddin also stated in t h e i r declaration that:

'@Thetransitional governmmt w i l l sign the Geneva accords and undertake r e s y n ~ s i b i l i t yfor

t h e i r implementation including the safe return of the Soviet forces when the accords becane accep-
table t o the Afghan people and the resistance, The transitional government w i l l persue also an
independent and non-aligned foreign policy and will have friendly relations with a l l countries,
particularly with i t s neighbours, Proviked t h a t there i s no interference i n its internal affairs.
For the purpose of reconstruction, the IUAM requests all the countries of the world, and i n par-
t i c u l a r the Soviet Union, t o participate generously in the reconstruction of the infrastructure
and economy of Afghanistan,
This declaration is indeed a sign of good f a i t h and magnanimity. Now the Akhans inside and
outside of Afghanistan expect the alliance of the Afghan mujaheddin t o f u l f i l l the r e a l aspira-
t i o n of the Afghan people, in Consultation with all Muslim Afghans who participated in Jehad in
any manner as was necessary and useful, whether in the b a t t l e f i e l d o r i n the p o l i t i c a l and d i p
lomatic arena. Furthermore the world i s expecting from the Soviet Union, which needs peace along
i t s southern border for i t s own benefit and for the safety of i t s soldiers and yomgsters,
f u l f i l l the objective of peace i n the world. Finally, the world i s expect-hg the and i t s per-
manent members t o carry out i t s obligation under the nine year mandate of Che Generd Assembly,
t o bring peace in Afghanistan, in Asia and the world a t large. Indeed i f the tragedy of A f & f i -
tan is solved, it will be a great experience i n the settlement of disputes in t h i s part of the
world,

"The Afghan Muslim mujahed nation declares clearly t h a t it wilL never accept cofnmunism and
u n t i l they topple the comunist regime and clean t h e i r land from the f i l t h of communism, they
will continue t h e i r Jehad, It is strange t h a t leaders of Islamic countries consider Gorbachev*~
proposal as a kind of softness and compassion to ~ s l i m s .But the f a c t i s t h a t our Muslim brethren
a r e t o know that never one should expect kindness and good from the enemy, Today Gorbachev has
been faced with a disgraceful defeat in Afghanistan and his softness and f l e x i b i l i t y are the re-
sult of t h i s defeat and that of the Soviet puppet regi~l~e. The Russians and t h e i r hirelings in Af-
ghanistan have been faced with the strong resistance of Muslim mujaheds who consider martyrdom f o r
t h e cause of God a s t h e i r sacred aspiration and jehad f o r the cause of God and hoisting the Word
of Cod are parts of t h e i r Islamic obligations,

m e Muslims should know t h a t it i s fsr frm t r u t h and r e a l i t y t o believe t h a t the Soviet

Union has been soft and flexible towards the Mwlhs of Afghanistan. It w i l l be f a r from r e a l i t y

because it was the resistance of the mujahed Afghan Muslims who did not accept the offer of na-
tional reconciliation and coalition govement with the puppet Russian government, The mujaheddin
urged the unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops from Afghanistan and i f their demands i n
these two respects are f u l f i l l e d it is possible they would return t o their country.
"The Afghan mujaheddin want t o make it known t o Islamic governments not t o be deceived by the
propaganda snares of the Russians and their hirelings and should know that t h e i r purpose i s not
peace and tranquility in Afghanistan but they want t o bring Afghanistan under t h e i r complete occu-
pation and convert t h e i r defeat' into a victory,
* W c l e a r l y proclaim that the mujaheddin w i l l never accept any kind of treaty until they
achieve their objective for which they had begun t h e i r jehad. They are not Bfraid of Ekrssian resis-
tance but believe that the punishent of Cod on Infidels is great and H i s help for the lpl.ievers
i s close and they are going t o continue t h e i r sacred jehad w i t h the hope of success and u n t i l the
tjme of success**,

AFGHAN AGRICULTUREHUSBENDARY
IN BAD CONDITION
Afghan Specilist Conducts
Nationwide Survey

)
EDITOR'S NOTE: I n the international conference held i n Paris 18-19 March t h i s
year, Afghan Professor Aem C d presented the summary of a survey conducted by
--
hi. and the A G R I S Y F M S a group of consultancy companies specializing in
\ agricultural and rural developnent, mainly i n developing countries on the stetus
$1
Y
of agriculture i n Afghwistan. The following i s a suonary of the paper which he
presented i n the Paris confdrence and also of the report i t s e l f . The report has
cj
been sponsored by the Swedish Committee f o r Afghanistan and had begun in 1986,
9
'r
A nunber of voluntary organizations had made financial contributions f o r the
..
survey,

+ This report i s based on a survey which a i r e c t l y interviewed the heads of about 20,000 farm
fsmily households in Afghanistan and i n t h e refugee camps i n Pakistan, of which, a f t e r screening
f o r r e l i a b i l i t y , 11,000 were entered into a computerised database. This represents more than 1%
of a l l fm households i n Afghanistan, co&ting together those s t i l l in the country and those i n
Pakistan. The database occupies over 30 megabytes of disc space and t ~ s ikx men 12 months t o
input, It was obviously not possible t o cover areas controlled by the Kabul regime and which are
estimated by independent observers t o be up t o 2C$ of the countxy (and estimated t o be no more
ttm 2% by i t s President). Nevertheless, it i s the largest, most wide ranging and most compre-
hensive survey of agriculture ever conducted i n Afghanistan in peace o r war,
* The survey is not a census and gives no estimates of the t o t a l agricultural scene, Rather the
survey focuses on the farm family and its situation, t h e factors that have affected it, and trend3
i n productioni means of production, farm resources, and physical farm inputs which have occurred
over the l a s t t e n years, The r e s u l t s w i l l take several more months t o analyse and t h i s report pro-
vides only a rapid overview of some of the main findings.
* The r e s u l t s show t h a t the refugees and those who stayed t o farm i n Afghanistan a r e two different
groups in terms of area farmed, ownership of livestock, use and availability of labour, use of
f e r t i l i s e r , and a nunber of other factors, Those who became refugees were b e t t e r off in terns of
farm resources, but on the other hand t h e i r farming operations suffered more from the direct eff*
c t s of war.
* iha r e s u l t s also show t h a t yields have declined substantially; 33%f o r i r r i g a t e d wheat and 50)C
for &j&& @eat between 1978 and 1986, a d t h a t -the area cultivated by individual fanners has
 April- J mu, 1988 AfCHMI H A O VOL. 1,No.k

declined by 309b. On these two cou~jtsalone the swcfy indicates that t o t a l agricultural production
i n 1 9 6 f e l l t o about 4596 of i t s 1978 level. There was an increase i n yield levels in 1987 vhich
increased production t o about 53'5 of f e 1978 level. T h i s increase can be attributed t o good rain-
f a l l as w e l l as reduced levels of i r t t s k s on agriculture. I t 1s important t o note, however, that
t h e figures apply only t o those farms which were still worked a t the time of the survey and does
not take into account abandoned farms,
* These figures confirm the worst fears and the most pessimistic reports on Afghan agriculture
which have reached Peshawar through refugees, Journalists and other observers over the l a s t few
years, but which have been unsubstantiated till now.
* The reasons f o r this decline, apart from the direct effects of war, are f i r s t , a reduction in
family and hired labor availability, so that the use of family labor by farmers still in Afghan-
istan f e l l by 1 9 , s and hired labour by l*, while for fanners who l e f t in 1987 the f i w e s were
~ g end b M . Second, the ntmber of draught oxen omed by farm families has Pallen by 409. m i d ,
although the survey has evidence which is not yet analysed, it appears that the genetic potential
of wheat seed has declined substantially. Fburth, the proportion of famers using urea (or white)
f e r t i l i s e r has declined t o 53% from 7&, Added t o these figures of the decline in the mans of
production, there has also bem a decline i n livestock numbers, It i s against livestock that the
Afghan farmer has traditionally fallen back a f t e r poor harvests. For fanners who stayed in Afghan-
i s t a n the decline in the numbers of Karakul sheep, and of ordinary sheep and goats, was 70$ and
67k, and fpr those who fled in 1987, the decline was 6@ and %$ up t o 1986, a f t e r which they lost,
o r disposed of, almost a l l their flocks. The decl$e in the numbers of horses, and donkeys and or
mules has beenless, For those who s t i l l fanned i n Afghanistan in 1987 the figures were 4% and
6$, while for those who l e f t in 1987 the figures were 8$ and a!.
* The direct effects of war on agriculture reached a peak in 1985, and although they have since
declined they are still substantial. In 1485,5374 of farmers who stayed in Afghanistan, and 65% of
those who l e f t in loll? had their villages bombed, The equivalent figures for the destruction of
irrigation systems are 24qb and 36$; for livestock shot, 23% and 31$e Those who eventually l e f t also
had more livestock shot each year compared t o those who stayed --
4 compared t o 5, I n addition t o
animals shot, 6 of farmers who l e f t in 1987 were losing 5 head a year t o mines. I n 1987 2296 of
fanners still e x d e n c e d banbing of villages, 1% had t h e i r irrigation system destroyed, 6$ had
the* livestock shot, on average losing two head a year t h i s way and the same number t o mines.
Three percent had t h e i r grain stores destroyed, down from 1% in 1985.
* Now that repatriation of refugees may become a p o l i t i c e possibility, it is relevant t o ask
what picture does the survsy provide of Afghan agriculture and what may be sane of the problems
facing returning refugees, Would the returning fanners be able t o plough? Would they have suffi-
cient irrigation water? Wodd it be more cost effective t o improve the health of existing cattleo
