Timeline
Nur ul-Haq Ulumi (born 15 August 1941) is an Afghan politician, who served as Interior Minister from 2015 to 2016, and as a Member of the House of the People from 2005 to 2010 representing Kandahar.
He founded and previously led the National United Party of Afghanistan, a small left-wing and secular party in Afghanistan that is a member of the National Coalition of Afghanistan.
Ulumi was born on 15 August 1941 in Kandahar Province.
His family were an important Pashtun family from the Barakzai Tribe.
Ulumi graduated from the University of Kabul magna cum laude in 1966.
Ulumi was trained in both the United States and the Soviet Union.
Ulumi saw action at the Battle of Jalalabad, where he played an important role in defeating the mujahideen offensive.
Following his success at Jalalabad he was given a new position as Governor of Kandahar.
This is according to Peter Tomsen, but Tomsen is characteristically inaccurate.
Ulumi was promoted to Kandahar governor in 1988 (see Mark Urban's "War in Afghanistan", written - unlike Tomsen's book - without political retrospective) and was still in Kandahar during the 1989 Jalalabad battle.
The Jalalabad battle was actually led by Manokai Mangal and Asif Dilawar; Ulumi played no part though another Parchami interior minister, Hanif Atmar, was involved as an officer.
In his new role as governor, Ulumi enacted a number of major changes to regional government policy in order to help implement the Afghan Government's National Reconciliation.
Firstly, he persuaded President Najibullah to withdraw Abdul Rashid Dostum's hated Jouzjani militia from Kandahar, he stopped forced conscription into the Army, he encouraged local unemployed youth to join his local paid militia to help defend Kandahar, he complied with prisoner release requests from moderate mujihadeen commanders, and he didn't interfere with the mujihadeen-run narcotics smuggling trade.
Ulumi co-opted local mujahideen forces by providing them with incentives, such as money or permission to visit their families within Kandahar, in exchange for the mujahideen scaling down attacks on local government forces.
As such he was able to reach out to and ease relations with Gailani's National Islamic Front of Afghanistan, inviting Gailani's son Hasan to Kandahar for negotiations.
Ulumi was also able to reach out to Gul Agha Sherzai by emphasising their common Barakzai heritage as well as by offering financial incentives.
Under a jointly agreed plan, Gul Agha would launch attacks on Kandahar Airport that had been pre-planned with Ulumi.
Gul Agha's forces would fire off rockets and weapons at the airport, whilst forces under Ulumi would light fires and make loud noises.
ISI forces observing the operation would then believe Gul Agha to be fighting the government, and would then supply him with weapons and food, which Ulumi allowed Gul Agha to sell within Kandahar.
This made coordination of attacks between various mujahideen groups increasing difficult, although some groups such as Hezbi Islami refused any compromise with the Afghan government.
Their refusal to compromise was in turn rewarded by funding from Pakistan, who made several failed attempts to unite the mujihadeen.
During the Civil War, Ulumi also commanded the Afghan Army's Kandahar Corps.
Ulumi previously served in the Afghan Army as a member of the Parcham faction of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan during the Afghan Civil War (1989–1992), and left service with the rank of lieutenant general.
Ulumi, as commander of Afghan government forces in Kabul, surrendered Kabul in April 1992 to advancing mujahideen forces.
After the conflict had ended Ulumi moved to the Netherlands, where lived in Landgraaf.
He returned to Afghanistan after the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001.
Ulumi was elected as an MP for Kandahar Province in 2005, with 13,035 out of a total of 178,269 votes.
The only candidate to receive a higher number of votes was Qayum Karzai, the elder brother of President Hamid Karzai, who received 14,243 votes.
In 2010 Ulumi failed to be re-elected, failing to receive even 3,000 out of a total of 85,385 votes.
There were also accusations of electoral fraud and vote rigging.
During his term as an MP Ulumi chaired the Afghan Parliament's Defence Committee.
However, a ban was imposed by the Parliament on cabinet minister appointments with dual citizenship.
After giving up his dual citizenship Ulumi was nominated again.
He was nominated to be Minister of Interior by Abdullah Abdullah in the unity government of Ashraf Ghani in January 2015.
He was confirmed as Interior Minister on 27 January 2015.
He left the post in February 2016, reportedly resigning due to differences with other officials, assuming the role of Ambassador to the Netherlands.
He was a candidate in the 2019 Afghan presidential election.
He unsuccessfully ran as a candidate in the 2019 Afghan presidential election as leader of the newly formed Afghanistan People's National Front (Jabha-e-Milli Mardum-e-Afghanistan).
