National Front (Afghanistan)

The National Front (NF) formerly known as the National Fatherland Front (NFF) was an umbrella organization to the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan which ruled Afghanistan from 1978-1990. NFF was established to recruit more supporters for the communist regime in Afghanistan. Between Babrak Karmal's rise as president in 1980 to 1982 much governmental propaganda was released for the support of the organization. By April, 1984 the New Times (Kabul) claimed that the NFF had over 55,000 members.
