		Because Afghanistan is still as mysterious as it was to the newspaper's readers over seven decades ago, we believe that the articles will be useful in enlightening today's readers, for which reason we have decided to reprint them largely as they appeared in the original.
		Consisting of 73 articles, it stipulates that Afghanistan is an independent nation with its capital in Kabul, that its official religion is Islam and that all citizens are equal under the law.

		In the nineteenth century the land of present-day Afghanistan remained the scene of conflict and intrigue, as Great Britain and Russia vied for influence in the region.
		After World War I the emir of Afghanistan freed his country of British influence by invading British India, which induced the British to grant full Afghani independence through the Treaty of Rawalpindi in 1919.
		Like Afghanistan itself, the mujaheddin were divided by ethnicity (Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, and Uzbek, primarily), by region (the regions corresponding to ethnicity), by clan and tribe, and by religion (the country is roughly 84 percent Sunni and 15 percent Shia, and there is divergence even among members of these branches of Islam).

	Afghanistan; Graveyard of Empires :: Khyber.ORG
		The Soviets began with a modern repetition of the fatal British error of installing an unpopular "emir" on the Afghan "throne." The operation was marked by a brutal efficiency: Hafizullah Amin was killed under mysterious circumstances, Kabul was secured, and the Soviets put their man, Babrak Karmal, at the helm of the Afghan government.
		Active in Afghanistan since the early 1980s, having previously worked in the Persian Gulf to recruit Arabs for the jihad, bin Ladin focused his early energies on construction projects, building orphanages and homes for widows as well as roads and bunker systems in eastern Afghanistan.
		THOUGH the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989, it was not until April 1992 that the mujahideen finally took Kabul, killed Najibullah, and declared what passed for victory.

		A British army was assembled in British India in 1838 to advance into Afghanistan and to substitute for Dost Muhammed the British client ruler Shah Shuja as Emir of Afghanistan.
		With Shah Shuja placed on the throne, his weakness, as well as the vulnerability of the British army, became very clear in the harsh winter of 1841-1842, after its exposed cantonment outside Kabul began to be attacked by forces loyal to the deposed Dost Muhammed.
		In the autumn of 1842 fresh British forces advanced from India, seized Ghazni, and retook Kabul, burning the bazaar in revenge for the defeat, and rescuing British prisoners held in Bamiyan.

		No legislative body in Afghanistan ever ratified the Durand Line agreement, signed by the British with the person of King Abdul Rahman Khan in 1893, and therefore as far as its legality is concerned it remains as a defunct historical document showing colonial designs in the third world countries.

	The Militant - November 12, 2001 -- Lenin offered help to Afghan struggle against Britain
		Although the military outcome of the fighting was not decisive, the combination of ongoing Afghan resistance with anticolonial struggles in the British-dominated territories of Ireland, Egypt, Iraq, and India had stretched British forces thin, persuading London to withdraw from the conflict and formally recognize the country's independence.
		Afghanistan had long been disputed strategic territory in the competition between the British rulers and the Russian czars for domination of Central Asia known as the "Great Game." In 1838 the British East India Company's Army of the Indus pushed into Afghanistan, eventually setting up camp in Kabul the following year.
		Conflicts were confined to border skirmishes until 1877, when Afghanistan's Emir Sher Ali broke with previous policy, rebuffed British representatives, and welcomed a Russian mission into Kabul, inflaming the rivalry between the tsarist regime and the British government.

		KABUL, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The self-styled "emir" of Afghanistan's western province of Herat, who liked to patrol his domain in robes and turban astride a white Arab stallion, has been unseated just weeks before his country's presidential vote.
		Accused of running Afghanistan's wealthiest province as a personal fiefdom and building up vast campaign chest from control of the bulk of the country's customs revenues, Khan was replaced as Herat governor by President Hamid Karzai on Saturday.
		He led an uprising in the city just months after the invasion in which hundreds of Soviet soldiers were killed, and the Russians responded with a savage bombing campaign that left half the city in ruins.

		The story of the Emir from Afghanistan who back in the twenties of the previous century led a struggle for independence, mainly against the British, is the classic example.
		Hence, the resort to war, as in Afghanistan and in Iraq, is evidence of a deepening political and economic weakness that tries to overcome its limitations by the use and threat of force.
		Afghanistan witnesses a constant increase in the strength and the prestige of the Taliban and a continual rise in violence, not to speak of the expanded volume of the drug trade.

		The Kingdom of Afghanistan is purportedly a "record of the most important incidents in the history of the Afghans and their relations with neighbouring States," but the bulk of the book concerns only two centuries: the 18th and 19th.
		This long section vividly portrays the reign (1747-1773) of Ahmad Shah, first emir of Afghanistan, whose wars of conquest extended his country to encompass what is now Pakistan and parts of India and Persia.
		The disorganised condition of Persia relieves the Ruler of Afghanistan of all fears of military aggression, but it is not unlikely to be the cause of considerable anxiety to His Majesty the Amir.

		Afghanistan is usually rendered as being equivalent to the Pushtun nation, which in effect has been the dominant nation in a multi-national confederacy.
		Afghanistan is therefore a state that cuts across several national boundary lines, dominated by the Pushtun nation, and contains the elements of a multi-national state.
		Even by the 1980’s Afghanistan was one of the most under-developed and backward countries in the world, with 40% of the population under-nourished and an annual growth of national income of only 0.7%.
