Khalqi regime

The Khalqi regime refers to a government in Afghanistan that emerged after a communist coup in 1978, led by the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA). It was characterized by its radical reforms, including land redistribution and women's rights, but faced significant resistance, leading to widespread unrest and conflict. The regime's authoritarian rule and harsh policies, including purges of political opponents, caused further instability. It aimed to align Afghanistan with the Soviet Union, which culminated in the Soviet invasion in 1979, marking the beginning of a prolonged period of war and conflict in the country.
