Sayed Mustafa Kazemi
Sayed Mustafa Kazemi ( Persian سید مصطفی کاظمی; * 1959 in Parwan Province ; † November 6, 2007 in Baglan Province ) was an Afghan politician.
After the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979, Kazemi fled to Iran , where he joined the Pasdaran resistance group led by Mohammed Akbari, which in 1987 merged with other Shiite groups in the Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan (Hezb-e Wahdat). He returned to Afghanistan in the late 1980s. When the Hezb-e Wahdat split up, Kazemi joined the wing of Abdulali Mazari.
In the fight against the Taliban , he joined the National Islamic United Front in 1996 together with the Hezb-e Wahdat , later known as the Northern Alliance.
After the Taliban was overthrown in 2001, he participated as one of eleven delegates of the Northern Alliance at the Afghanistan Conference on Bonn's Petersberg . In the interim government set up by the final document, he assumed the post of Minister of Commerce , which he continued in the transitional government sworn in in 2002. In the course of the cabinet reshuffle after the presidential elections in October 2004, he lost his post and was replaced as trade minister by the Pashtun Hidayat Amin Arsala. He then founded the National United Front with other former members of the Northern Alliance , an opposition alliance directed against the government led by Hamid Karzai , and he was elected spokesman.
On November 6, 2007, Kazemi was the victim of a suicide attack north of Kabul in Baghlan province , in which 26 people were killed, including four other MPs in addition to Kasimi.
