46 Years On, Impact of Republic-Toppling Coup in Afghanistan Considered

The coup on Saur 7, 1357 (solar calendar), led to the rise of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan and the fall of the country's first republic regime.

This event, which happened 46 years ago Friday, had a significant impact on the lives of the Afghan people and, according to politicians, no stable regime has been established in Afghanistan in the more than four decades since.

Salim Paigir, a political analyst, stated: “After the coup by Sardar Mohammad Daoud Khan, no stable regime has been formed in Afghanistan because, firstly, no groundwork was laid for it, and secondly, foreign ideologies were employed.”

The governance under the communist regime was not without its troubles, and after their rise to power in Afghanistan, disagreements emerged among the leaders of this party.

Khalil Ahmad Nadem, a military affairs analyst, said: “Hafizullah Amin was prominent in these disputes and eventually led to the removal of Taraki from power, exiling several including Babrak Karmal and Dr. Najibullah, and others were imprisoned on various pretexts like General Shahpour and Ali Akbar, with many more being killed.”

The overthrow of this regime was not easy, and during the ten years of war, millions were displaced from the country, and hundreds of thousands more were killed; but what should be done to prevent such events from repeating in the country?

Moeen Gul Samkani, a political analyst, said: “We must always consider the era of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan as a lesson for today and the future. A one-party, single-ideology government has no chance of success in Afghanistan and cannot ease the lives of its people.”

Since Saur 7, 1357 (solar calendar), more than ten governments have come to power in Afghanistan, and in the latest event on Asad 15, 1401 (solar calendar), after the collapse of the republican system, the Islamic Emirate assumed control of Afghanistan for the second time.
