Welcome to Abdul Haq Foundation
His body may be lifeless, but his spirit of hope lives in all who work to provide the nation and the world with peace and unity.
« War is easy, you just shoot the enemy. Politics is difficult because you must convince people to take the right path. »
-Abdul Haq; Kabul 1992
Preface
Once the Soviets were driven out of Afghanistan , Abdul Haq began an even more difficult task. He was determined to bring peace and security to his country that he loved so much. At that time he said, "War is easy, you just shoot the enemy. Politics is difficult because you must convince people to take the right path." Abdul Haq worked tirelessly in this campaign to achieve his vision of peace, security and justice for the people of his beloved Afghanistan .
Abdul Haq was martyred while on a peace mission in Afghanistan in Oct 2001. The tragic news shocked not only his fellow citizens, but also the whole world. At a memorial ceremony, held on 14th of February 2002 in "Surkh Rud" District of Nangarhar Province, tens of thousands of Afghans came from all over the Country to mourn this national loss and their personnel loss. The President of Afghanistan, national ministers, governors, leaders of different parties, and representatives of every tribal and ethnic group in Afghanistan, people from the cities and the villages, rich and poor, all came to "Surkh rud" There had never been such a large demonstration of love and remembrance for a martyr in this country. President and villagers came to pray at his graveside because they were filled with hope that the dream of national unity, peace, prosperity, democracy and equality for all, that the life of Abdul Haq represented, would live on.
Abdul Haq died for his country. Now his Country will live for him by keeping the hope he gave us and Abdul Haq Foundation will assist in doing this.
