Najibullahs

Najibullahs refers to individuals bearing the surname Najibullah. This surname has origins in Afghanistan and is most famously associated with the former President of Afghanistan, Mohammad Najibullah. Mohammad Najibullah served as the President of Afghanistan from 1986 to 1992. Prior to his presidency, he held significant positions within the Afghan government, including Director of the Afghan intelligence agency, KHAD, and General Secretary of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. His political career was deeply intertwined with the Soviet-Afghan War and the subsequent period of instability.

The surname itself is of Pashto origin. "Najib" means noble or of good lineage, while "ullah" is an Arabic word meaning God. Therefore, Najibullah can be interpreted as "noble of God" or "God is noble." While Mohammad Najibullah is the most prominent figure associated with this name, other individuals may also carry the surname Najibullah, originating from Afghanistan or its diaspora. Information regarding other notable individuals with this surname is less widely documented in public discourse compared to the former president. The surname's prevalence is concentrated within Pashtun communities, particularly in Afghanistan and among Afghan expatriates.
