1996: Dr. Mohammad Najibullah
September 27th, 2009 Headsman
On this date in 1996, the man who once ruled ruled Afghanistan under the aegis of a superpower succumbed to the tender mercies of his country’s fundamentalist insurgency.
Mohammad Najibullah was the last president of the Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. Unfortunately for Najibullah, he was on the job when Moscow decided to throw in the towel on the Soviet-Afghan War.
After losing the subsequent civil war, the former President was trapped for a nervous few years in Kabul — blocked from joining his family in flight to India by the offices of former Soviet client and present-day American client Abdul Rashid Dostum.
When Kabul finally surrendered to the Taliban in 1996, the hated onetime Communist viceroy — whose stepping-stone to that post was heading the hated Afghan secret police — had a problem.
At the instigation of future Taliban second-in-command Mohammad Rabbani, Najibullah and his brother were hauled out of the U.N. compound where they had taken refuge, publicly beaten, tortured and castrated, and strung up on a traffic barricade.
There was a new sheriff in town.

“Every man has his time”. This man ordered ill intentions against Pakistan, and he did not know, that Pakistan is a far bigger power then Afghanistan. He challenged them, without thinking. He got what he deserved. He sold his country for power and wealth. He wealth did nothing for him… Long LIVE Afghanistan, LONG LIVE PAKISTAN

Dr. Naschibullah nach dem Sowejtischen abzug, hat ein Friedenplan gegründet. Mit Hilfe der russischen und iranischen Geheimdienst, haben die Nordprovinzen einen Putsch vorbereitet und den Friedenplan sabotiert. 1992 sucht Naschibullah schutz in UN-Hauptquartier und Mujaheddin kamen an die Macht. In den vier Jahren, hat der UN Beauftragter mehrere male gesagt: “Naschibullah soll das verlassen”, aber B. Rabbani Regime hat, dieses abgelehnt. 1996 kam die Taliban an die Macht und direkt danach wurden Naschibullah und sein Bruder ermordet. Er war der beste und aktivste Pólitiker in der Geschichte Afghanistans. Iran und Pakistan wollten nicht so einen aktiven Politiker n Afghanistan.
