The Revolutionary Council of Islamic Unity of Afghanistan (Persian: شوراء انقلاب اتفاق اسلامی افغانستان, Shura-i Engelab-i Ettefaq-i Islami Afghanistan, often called simply Shura) was a Hazara political movement which appeared in Afghanistan in 1979 in opposition to the increasingly leftist Kabul government. The movement was led by Sayyid Ali Beheshti.[1]
The Shura had both political and militant arms, and removed many Kabul-backed authorities within the Hazarajat (Hazara-populated region of Afghanistan), replacing them with their own functionaries.The Shura was considered as a government for the whole Hazarajat and used to be a powerful party among the Hazaras.[2] By the end of 1983 the Shura controlled 60% of the population of the Hazarajat.[3]
The Shura was the primary Hazara resistance movement part of the Tehran Eight political constellation, followed by the Al-Nasr (Victory) and the Union of Islamic Fighters.[4]
