Taraki's Ten-Article Program

Taraki's Ten-Article Program was a set of goals introduced in 1978 by Nur Muhammad Taraki, the leader of Afghanistan's People's Democratic Party. It aimed to guide the country's transformation through socialist reforms, focusing on land redistribution, education, women's rights, economic development, and political stability. The program sought to modernize Afghanistan by reducing traditional and tribal influences, promoting social equality, and establishing a centralized government. While ambitious, it faced resistance from conservative groups and traditional leaders, contributing to internal conflicts and upheaval in the country's political landscape.
