Afghanistan Mujahedin Freedom Fighters Front (Persian: جبهه مبارزين مجاهد افغانستان) was a united front of four Afghan politico-military factions, formed on the initiative of the Revolutionary Group of the Peoples of Afghanistan (گروه انقلابی خلقهای افغانستان) (later named Afghanistan Liberation Organization), together with Islamists, in 1978. The Front fought against the soviets and pro-soviet afghan communists during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
On August 5, 1979 the Front tried to initiate an uprising against the PDPA government. The move, which was brutally crushed, became known as the Bala Hissar uprising.
The most famous publication of AMFFF was called "Neither Puppet Regime nor Fundamentalism, Freedom and Democracy!" (نه رژیم پوشالی نه بنیادگرایی، آزادی و دموکراسی!) which was widely distributed across Afghanistan in early 80’s.
The head of AMFFF was Mulavi Dawood, who was abducted and killed by Gubuddin Hekmatyar Islamic Party in Peshawar in November 1986.

“The day that the Black man takes an uncompromising step and realizes that he is within his rights, when his own freedom is being jeopardized, to use any means necessary to bring about his freedom or put a halt to that injustice, I don’t think he’ll be by himself.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
“All fighters are prostitutes and all promotors are pimps.”

“She’s in the house.
She’s at turn after turn.
She’s behind me.
She’s in front of me.
She’s in my bed.
She’s on path after path,
and I’m weak from want of her.
O heart,
there is no reality for me
other than she she
she she she she
in the whole of the reeling world.
And philosophers talk about Oneness.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
