“Mohammad Nabi Azimi”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

In 1986 Azimi was in charge of the DRA forces at the Second Battle of Zhawar in Paktia Province which was waged against mujahideen forces under Jalaluddin Haqqani. The large-scale offensive against a mujahideen base quickly ran into difficulties: an inexperienced commando brigade was wiped out in a botched heliborne assault against fortified positions. Some commandos mistakenly landed in Pakistan. Azimi withdrew to Kabul on "important business" and ordered the arrest of the helicopter unit commander. He was replaced by an other DRA officer, and a Soviet general took over the operation.^[2]

In 1990, along with General Abdul Rashid Dostum he was involved in the fight against Hezb-i Islami.^[3]

In early 1992, DRA leader Najibullah lost control of Northern Afghanistan, following the defection of the pro-government militia of Abdul Rashid Dostum, and on March 18, he announced his intention to resign. Nabi Azimi, now Deputy Defense Minister, chose to defect, along with Army Chief of Staff Muhammad Asif Delawar and Kabul garrison commander Abdul Wahid Baba Jan. Azimi appeared on Afghanistan National Television, saying "I assure my countrymen that we will have peace in the very near future. There is no need for war anymore."^[4]

On March 21, Azimi made contact with Dostum, and on April 15, he flew 600-1000 of Dostums troops into Kabul Airport and took control of it. The next day in Kabul Najibullah confronted Azimi and the other generals and accused them of treason. Apparently afraid that Azimi had taken control of his security detail, he then tried to flee to the airport, but finding it controlled by hostile forces, he was forced to take refuge in a United Nations compound.^[5] Azimi then made contact with resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, and urged him to seize the capital, in the hope that he might effect a peaceful transition of power, like Dostum had managed in Mazar-i-Sharif. However, Massoud was unwilling to do this, so long as an agreement had not been reached between the Pakistan-based mujahideen parties in order to form a government. He entered Kabul only on April 25, in response to an offensive by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who had allied with officers from the Khalq faction in order to infiltrate the capital. Fighting between the opposing factions broke out immediately.^[6]

Azimi has since written many books, one of which is titled "Ordu va Siyasat Dar Seh Daheh Akheer-e Afghanistan" ("Army and Politics

in the Last Three Decades in Afghanistan") (Peshawar: Marka-e Nashrati Mayvand, 1998);
