Life

Noor Ahmad Noor is the son of Abdul Satar Khan (Popalzai), a Pashtun . He studied a bachelor's degree at the University of Kabul and joined the Watan party (socialist home party) in 1963 and was active in its management.

In the course of the acid revolution on April 27, 1978, Noor Ahmad Noor was Minister of the Interior. In 1979, the Chalqis faction excluded the representatives of the Parcham faction of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan , Babrak Karmal Nahid Anahita Ratebzad and Noor Ahmad Noor, from the Council of Ministers. Babrak Karmal was sent to Prague as an ambassador . Nahid Anahita Ratebzad was sent as ambassador to Belgrade and Noor Ahmad Noor as ambassador to Washington, DC . The Politburo decided to send most of the Parcham leadership out of the country.

Before he left Afghanistan, Babrak Karmal warned Nur Muhammad Taraki again , who laughed at him for it. Babrak Karmal instructed the Parcham to evade the regime's control. The regime, dominated by Hafizullah Amin , had the Parcham who remained in Afghanistan arrested on charges of conspiracy , dismissed the ambassadors who had just been sent from their posts and, in addition to Parcham, also persecuted Chalqis who had contact with Parcham. On October 9, 1979, Hafizullah Amin Nur had Muhammad Taraki murdered. In October 1979 Babrak Karmal returned to Afghanistan with Noor Ahmad Noor. While Karmal tried to form coalitions in political circles for the overthrow of Amin, Noor Ahmad Noor was to find supporters for this cause among the military.

By the time the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan decided the conflict on the part of Babrak Karmal, the Parcham had tried three times in vain to overthrow Hafizullah Amin.
