	Mohammed Qasim Fahim
		Fahim, 45, at first was Karzai's vice president and survived an attempt on his life in the eastern city of Jalalabad during a spring visit in 2002.
		Fahim was given charge of the defence of Kabul's southern frontlines, under almost daily rocket and mortar barrages, first from rival Pashtun warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and then by the Pashtun Taliban movement.
		Fahim is making no secret of the fact that he and his fellow ethnic Tajiks are not willing to be sidelined during the run-up to the presidential elections.

	Matthew Yglesias: Bergen on Afghanistan
		This summer he dropped his running mate, Mohammad Fahim, a power-hungry general who had pompously awarded himself the title of field marshal after the fall of the Taliban.
		The US initially agreed to fund Fahim and the other warlords' militias after the Taliban were dispersed because they felt that the power vacuum would create great instability, as well as problems for US troops who were operating in Afghanistan hunting down Al-Qaeda and Taliban.
		However, since Fahim stands to lose from this, both by losing funding for his militia and losing power to the central gov't, Fahim has hindered the disarmament process as well as hindered the proper training of the Afghan Army (even though nominally he is the Minister of Defense).

		Fahim was not seen as the most capable person for the job or the best representative of the Tajiks, Afghanistan's second-largest ethnic group, but was rather viewed as a powerful military man who, if not included on the ticket, would potentially create trouble for Karzai.
		By appointing Ata Mohammad as the governor of Balkh, Karzai is seeking to persuade the warlords to join political life and abandon their military units.
		In Fahim's place, Karzai chose Ahmad Zia Mas'ud, Afghanistan's ambassador to Russia and the brother of Ahmad Shah Mas'ud, the Tajik mujahedin commander who was the military leader of the Northern Alliance and who was killed by Al-Qaeda in 2001.

		General Fahim, more powerful than ever with his own army and sources of income, is essentially a man of the past who thinks of Afghanistan as defined by ethnicity and tribal rule and believes power can be exercised through the guns of his followers.
		Fahim was clearly trying to block reforms until the US began to apply strong pressure on him to comply.

		In Fahim’s place, Karzai announced that another Tajik, Ahmed Zia Masood, the Afghan ambassador to Russia and the brother of the slain anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Masood, would be his running mate.
