Ahmed - Afghanistan Rising [69aa32ce]

Tags: books, Post-Ottoman Near East, afghanistan, turkey

CUP officiers arrived in early years of Afghanistan under Aman Allah, where they played a major role in early "moderization".

Presents a very rosy Pan-Islamic view of the CUP officiers.

1. Aman Allah

  • Greatly respected mustafa kemal
  • Configured the early Afghan state

  • Multiple leaps in early jurisprudence in afghanistan, such as:

    • oversight of a constitutional draft committee comprised of jurists and theorists and members of the ummah
    • All laws drafted under the first constitutional committee required a match with sharia law before passing to Aman Allah
  • Later years hampered by aggressive spending, eventually ousted in 1928
