The #SaurRevolution began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1978 and ended a day later with the establishment of a Soviet-aligned #DemocraticRepublicOfAfghanistan. A year later it asked #USSR to help put down an insurgency, beginning 42+ years of continuous war in the impoverished country.
The Saur Revolution and Soviet invasion, led by the PDPA, plunged Afghanistan into decades of violence and repression. The legacy of figures like Taraki, Amin, Karmal, and Najibullah continues to haunt the nation, highlighting the need for accountability and reconciliation. #Afghanistan #SaurRevolution #PDPA #SovietInvasion 🇦🇫💔
