Description: (Former Foreign Minister of Afghanistan)
Hafizullah Amin was an Afghan communist leader known for his role in the Saur Revolution of 1978, which led to the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. A former teacher, Amin became involved in radical student movements in the United States before joining the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. He quickly climbed the ranks within the party and eventually became a prominent figure in the regime. Amin's leadership was marred by controversies, including mass persecutions and human rights violations, ultimately resulting in his assassination following a brief tenure in power.
