'''Najibullah Ahmadzai''' (Pashto/Persian: نجیب ﷲ احمدزی‎; 6 August 1947 – 27 September 1996), commonly known as '''Najibullah''' or '''Dr. Najib''', was the President of Afghanistan from 1987 until 1992, when the mujahideen took over Kabul. He had previously held different careers under the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) and was a graduate of Kabul University. Following the Saur Revolution and the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, Najibullah was a low profile bureaucrat: he was sent into exile as Ambassador to Iran during Hafizullah Amin's rise to power. He returned to Afghanistan following the Soviet intervention which toppled Amin's rule and placed Babrak Karmal as head of state, party and government. During Karmal's rule, Najibullah became head of the [[KHAD]], the Afghan equivalent of the Soviet [[KGB (Soviet Union)|KGB]]. He was a member of the Parcham faction led by Karmal.

He remained open to dialogue with the mujahideen and other groups, made Islam an official religion, and invited exiled businessmen back to re-take their properties. In the 1990 constitution all references to communism were removed and Islam became the state religion. These changes, coupled with others, did not win Najibullah any significant support due to his role at KHAD. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, Najibullah was left without foreign aid. This, coupled with the internal collapse of his government, led to his resignation in April 1992.

After a failed attempt to flee to India, Najibullah remained in Kabul living in the United Nations headquarters until 1996, when the [[Taliban]] movement took Kabul. The Taliban abducted Najibullah and his brother from UN custody in the early morning hours of 27 September, [[torture]]d both of them and hanged their bodies from a traffic post the next day.

By the 21st century however, public opinion turned positive and he is now seen to have been a strong and patriotic leader with a "normal" regime compared to his PDPA predecessors and the mayhem that happened after his ousting. In 2017 a pro-Najibist Watan Party was created as a continuation of Najibullah's party.[[Category:Male]]
