Mir Akbar Khyber A Sane Voice among Afghan Socialists and Communists.

Mir Akbar Khyber A Sane Voice among Afghan Socialists and Communists.


In 1977, Mir Akbar Khyber, a prominent leader of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), expressed significant concerns regarding the political climate in Afghanistan. He cautioned fellow party leaders Noor Mohammad Taraki, Hafizullah Amin, and Babrak Karmal that the Afghan populace was not prepared to embrace Communism.


Khyber advocated for a more gradual approach to implementing socialist policies and suggested that it would be wiser to support the existing regime led by Daoud Khan, who was then the President of Afghanistan.


Khyber's warnings reflected a deep understanding of the socio-political landscape of Afghanistan at that time.

The country had a long history of resistance to foreign ideologies and interventions, and many Afghans were skeptical about Communist principles. Despite his foresight, Khyber's concerns went unheeded by his colleagues within the PDPA.

Tragically, on April 17, 1978, Mir Akbar Khyber was assassinated, allegedly by his communist colleagues.

Translation to Urdu

1977 میں، میر اکبر خیبر، جو کہ پیپلز ڈیموکریٹک پارٹی آف افغانستان (PDPA) کے ایک ممتاز رہنما تھے، نے افغانستان کے سیاسی ماحول کے بارے میں اہم خدشات کا اظہار کیا۔ انہوں نے پارٹی کے دیگر رہنماؤں نور محمد ترکئی، حفیظ اللہ امین، اور ببرک کرمل کو خبردار کیا کہ افغان عوام کمیونزم کو قبول کرنے کے لیے تیار نہیں ہیں۔


خیبر نے سوشلسٹ پالیسیوں کو نافذ کرنے کے لیے زیادہ تدریجی طریقہ کار کی وکالت کی اور تجویز دی کہ اس وقت کے صدر داؤد خان کی قیادت والی موجودہ حکومت کی حمایت کرنا زیادہ دانشمندی ہوگی۔


خیبر کی تنبیہات اس وقت کے افغانستان کے سماجی و سیاسی منظر نامے کی گہری سمجھ کی عکاسی کرتی تھیں۔ ملک میں غیر ملکی نظریات اور مداخلتوں کے خلاف مزاحمت کی ایک طویل تاریخ تھی، اور بہت سے افغان کمیونسٹ اصولوں کے بارے میں شکوک و شبہات رکھتے تھے۔


ان کی دور اندیشی کے باوجود، PDPA کے اندر ان کے ساتھیوں نے خیبر کے خدشات پر توجہ نہ دی۔ افسوسناک طور پر، 17 اپریل 1978 کو میر اکبر خیبر کو قتل کر دیا گیا، مبینہ طور پر ان کے اپنے کمیونسٹ ساتھیوں کے ہ
