Hi, Why was the version from 16:45, 17 February 2006 145.253.233.54 reverted? What's wrong about the Afghanistan Justice Project? Thank you

There is nothing wrong with that investigation, but it must also be fair, NPOV and a webpage that summarise its objectives. Messhermit 00:42, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
The Afghanistan Justice Project is a multinational organisation, compared to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. It consists of Americans, Afghan Intellectuals and people from many other countries that are working up the Afghan history (Communist, Mujaheddin, Taliban and Northern Allicane). If you don't accept their "reports" then we would also have to remove all references to hrw and ai from Wikipedia - right?
you are not answering the question: it is NPOV and a serious investigation? Messhermit 16:37, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, definitely! I'm the webmaster of an Afghan website and I'm taking extreme precautions for my site not to be associated to any non-neutral organisation. The past years of studies have only left ai, hrw and the ajp as neutral entities. Please read the last few sentences of the text at the bottom of this page: http://www.afghanistanjusticeproject.org/
So far, I find the AJP an interesting source that claims to be NPOV. But something that I'm extremely concern is how far this neutrality will go: Are both afghan communist and afghan extremists tried in the same way? or do we have some sort of labels for them that justify their actions?.
Information that contains serious accusations as massacres or human right violations, a link must be provided with the details behind that. If you can provide a link, your contributions are more than welcome. Messhermit 18:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, all parties are tried the same way. The AJP has released several reports on different eras and regimes in Afghanistan. The AJP has interviewed people in and outside of Afghanistan and the reports follow the same structure as reports published by ai and hrw. It's basically ai or hrw focused solely on Afghanistan.
Hi again... so can I quote the AJP from now on? :-)
oh! I tough that you were going to do it from now on. Feel free to write, but remember to put a link next to each paragraph in support or against this afghan President. Remember, sources are always important to corroborate the ideas. Messhermit 15:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I'll do that. Thanks! :-)


{{NPOV}} The French translation of this biography has been criticized for partial opinions. See "Mohammed Nadjibullah" (NPOV). The author praises Najib's works, but forgets that this MD was a torturer and a murderer when he was head of the sadly famous "Khad"...

This biography appears to be a praise of Najib. See his action as head of the "Khad"...--Obeyd 07:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I have replaced the mention "NPOV" which has been cancelled. See thediscussion above and in the French version. Obeyd 15:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Perso-Arabic script name

Unless my Arabic's totally deserted me, his name is given as "Doctor Najibullah" in the Perso-Arabic script. Surely it should read "Mohammad Najibullah", since that was his actual name rather than his title? BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
