Life

He was born in Kabul , where he completed his elementary and secondary school as well as his university studies, and in 1981 received the title of lecturer at the Kabul Faculty of Engineering. In 1984 he was due to protest against the military occupation of Afghanistan by the Soviet Red Army Afghanistan leave and have to live in Iran for 20 years. He worked as executive and manager in various construction projects in Iran and, after the fall of the Taliban, took over the representation of Afghan refugees in Iran in the two Afghan Loja Jirga (assemblies). In the Loja Dschriga (assembly) of 2003 he opposed the epilogue “Islamic” for naming the Afghan state.

“ Mohammad Rauf Mehdi, who represented Afghan refugees in Iran, already collected signatures at the Loja Jirga . He was five votes short of being able to put his motion on the agenda. He was against this constitution because he wanted to prevent Afghanistan from becoming an Islamic republic.

He was therefore threatened by the Islamists and had to be protected by the UN. Even if he had gotten enough signatures, no one would have been willing to publicly justify such a motion in the face of warlords and Islamists. Mehdi was called a communist and a heretic by the chairman of the assembly, Sebgatullah Modjadedi. He was then quoted for a "conversation" by the two ultra-Islamists Sayaf and Rabani . Vendrell was forced to intervene and pointed out that he would have expected such behavior from the Taliban rather than from this meeting. "
