Because people are not telling the truth, I am compelled to tell this story. I'm speaking with you so that the historical importance of this Islamic jihâd will not be lost. With its own original form, with the truth, I am writing these words to be useful to current and upcoming people. |

It started like this, in the month of Cancer [July] in the year 1357 [1978]. Azâr u se sat u pinjâ u haft, as we say [in Persian], Rich. In the community of Shigal, someone must have made a report to the Russians' servant government that a mullah and a few -- why not call them mujâhedin; from that time on they called them mujâhedin, right? -- had come. Right? They made a report that they were doing some destructive work. They sent a few infantrymen from the provincial capital to capture them there. At night there was an interchange of fire there between the men from Pakistan and the soldiers. In the interchange one of the mujâheds coming from Pakistan got knocked off; the others escaped unharmed. Do you understand? The battle lasted till dawn there. One soldier, an army officer, also got knocked off there. |

They went and attacked, and a few men, whomever they could get their hands on, were apprehended, right? They were taken to Jalâlâbâd. |

There had been clashes, and people had died. So they crossed the mountains and arrived in Vaigal, with their women and children. They were Afghâns; all those in Shigal were Shinwâris. When they reached the people of Vaigal, the Vaigal people took them in. All the people were aware that a communist government had arrived, and everyone had their ears cocked, wondering what they should do. When they arrived there, because they had sought refuge our good people took them in, gave them food, clothing, and even their houses. |

It got angry at our people. So then some Vais and Sâfis, too -- probably acting as good Muslims, right? -- said, "Why are you angry at our people?" Then they [the government] said, "What's it to you? We're speaking with the Nuristânis." They must have been speaking a bit harshly, and they were taking a couple of greybeards out to put in jail. Some Sâfis. |

After the men had hustled back in, [the government] said "Aha, we see that you were taking people and shooting and so on," and then at once they went in with a lot of soldiers to this big community named Nangalâm -- there were one to two thousand defending men there; it was a big community. You know Kom Community? It was the same size community! Then it was scorched to the ground. |

They escaped into Vaigal and went to Big Vaigal. Some were divided up and went to [other] villages, where the people gave them refuge. You're aware, aren't you, that formerly there was also a war between our people and the Sâfis. When they went and escaped in [to Vaigal], we Afghâns [!] have a virtue that if a person escapes into a person's home, even if he is an enemy we are supposed to take care of him well. Our people gave up their homes, their cattle, their milk, and their dairy products to them and took care of them then. |

We're with you on this thing." At once, our people, leading the way, came out of Vaigal and burnt down the government headquarters. They fought there at the government headquarters and killed an army commander. Our people took the government headquarters, at Manugei. |

A few of their leaders fled and came to Pâkistân. They came by way of Kom Community, crossing the mountains like this, and [here] they are. |

Having no means, they surrendered and made peace again with the government. They surrendered! The situation is, that they surrendered to the government! The jihâd was really started like that, right? But then they went and surrendered again. |
