Sibghatullah Mojaddedi (Dari/Pashto صبغت الله مجددي)(born 1926), served as the first President of the Islamic State of Afghanistan after the fall of the communist regime in 1992. He is also the leader of the Afghan National Liberation Front. Professor Mojaddedi transferred power to President Burhanuddin Rabbani after serving a two-month term, based on a prior agreement that was reached by the Mujahideen forces in Pakistan. He couldn't establish any type of reconciliation among the Mujahideen factions. In December 2003, he served as the chairman of the Loya Jirga that approved Afghanistan's new constitution. Recently he was elected as the leader of the legislature's 102-seat upper house, the Meshrano Jirga, for a 5 year term, and is also chairman of "National Commission for Peace in Afghanistan".

Politics

Sibghatullah Mojaddedi is a moderate Muslim leader.[3] He is a member of the Jebh-e-Nejat-e Melli (National Liberation Front).[1]

In 1989, the Afghan Interim Government appointed him as the president of the country.[4] In 1992, he was the chair of a the Islamic Jihad Council that was set up to establish a post-Soviet Afghani government.[3] This position lasted three months, although some sources say he stayed for only two months.[3][5]. In May 1992, Burhanuddin Rabbani established a new leadership council. This council undermined Mojaddedi's leadership, resulting in his resignation and handing over power to a new council.[3][5] During this time in 1992, when Mojaddedi was President of Afghanistan, the Ariana plane carrying him to Kabul was hit by an RPG as it was landing at Kabul Airport. The plane landed safely, with no fatalities.[6][7]

Two suicide bombers carried out an attack in Kabul on March 12, 2006 at against Sibghatullah Mojaddedi.[8] At the time of the attack, he was a member of the upper house of parliament and head of a reconciliation committee aimed at engaging former Taliban members.[8] He was attacked as he was leaving his office and heading for his car.[8] Two men blew with suicide vests detonated the vests near his car.[8] Four pedestrians were killed and Mojaddidi was slightly injured, with burns to his face and hands.[8]
