Jawed Ludin Biography

Jawed Ludin is one of the most popular and richest Diplomat who was born on March 16, 1973 in Kabul, Kabul, Afghanistan. Jawed Ludin was born on March 16, 1973 in Kabul, Afghanistan. He completed his primary and secondary education in Kabul. In 1990, he was admitted to the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Kabul University where he studied general medicine until the summer of 1992 when the university was shut down due to the civil war. Jawed Ludin resumed his studies when he went to exile in London, United Kingdom, in 1998, studying politics and sociology. In 2002, he earned a Master of Science degree in Political Theory from the University of London. He is a candidate for an LLM degree in Public International Law from the University of Oslo.

Ludin has written extensively on Afghanistan, the region as well as on conflict and development issues, including co-authoring a book on conflict management strategies (Zed Books UK, 2002) and articles and commentary in international publications, notably the Guardian in the UK.

While working as press secretary in Kabul, Lundin helped interim-president Karzai with his first elections. “God willing he will hold onto (the predicted lead)” said Ludin to reporters in October 2004. When two UN aid workers were taken hostage Ludin informed the press of negotiations, saying, two weeks before they were released, that “a lot of progress has been made” and that, although the captors demanded the release of 26 prisoners, the government was prepared to do anything to ensure the safety of the United Nations staff members, who had been working on the Afghan presidential election. When a few months later Timoor Shah claimed he killed another hostage, Clementina Cantoni, because the government didn’t meet his demands, Ludin dismissed the claim saying: “He is lying. He makes such comments in order to put pressure on the government.” Three weeks later it turned out Ludin was right, when Cantoni was released by the criminal gang who captured her.

In July 2004, when army commanders Ata Mohammad, Hazrat Ali and Khan Mohammed Khan were placed in civilian and police post it was, according to Ludin, to ensure that the upcoming presidential election was conducted freely and fairly, though the replacements were a result of careful negotiations. In August 2004 he spoke strong words when warlord Amanullah Khan (militia leader) fought his way to within sight of the outskirts of Herat, against troops of Herat Governor Ismail Khan: “whoever is responsible for this breakdown and breach of security will be brought to justice,” Ludin said. When in December 2004 president Kaarzai appointed a new cabinet and ousted some high-profile warlords like Mohammed Fahim, Sayed Hussain Anwari and Gul Agha Sherzai, Ludin said this takes Afghanistan to a new era in which people come to the Cabinet because they are capable of serving the Afghan people and because they are educated. But when controversial Afghan warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum was given a post within the government as Chief of Staff of the High Command of the Armed Forces, Ludin called this “a good thing, a positive one.” On allegations of war crimes of Dostum Ludin said: “Let’s not talk about that because that’s a completely different issue.”

During the beginning of the War in Afghanistan in 2001, in a series of opinion articles in The Guardian Ludin was critical of the Northern Alliance, stating that it’s hard to imagine that the Northern Alliance can be trusted to deliver the country to peace. He stressed the need for the UK and the USA to focus on a political strategy, and not only a military strategy. At that time he called a leadership under the former king, Zahir Shah, promising option. A few laters, when he was President Karzai’s chief of staff, Ludin defended the appointment of 13 warlords in high positions in the Afghan police: “This is not rearming militias. We would like to strengthen the police presence in districts in the south where there has been a rise in terrorism. Building institutions should not be seen as sidelining any sector of society, especially the mujahideen,” he said.

Ludin also expressed concern over the condition of Afghan prisoners in the prisons of the coalition forces. When in June 2005 17 Afghan civilians died in a U.S. airstrike, Ludin criticised US behaviour a rare rebuff: “There is no way the killing of civilians can be justified. It’s the terrorists we are fighting. It’s not our people who should suffer.” When US Senator John McCain called for a permanent US base in Afghanistan, Ludin said that a long term strategic partnership will be “for the benefit of Afghanistan,” although the issue was sensitive in Afghanistan and the new parliament should decide on it After a Loya Jirga backing the plans, Ludin said: people of Afghanistan consider it necessary to have a long-term presence of foreign troops in the country until Afghan security forces are able to stand on their own feet. Opposition-leader Yunus Qanuni said that the information provided by Ludin was a distortion of the conclusions that Karzai drew at the end of the meeting.

According to Ludin the Karzai government was willing to let former Taliban members play a role in post-war Afghanistan, unless they have blood on their hands. In that case they will be captured as terrorists. But Ludin said that no more than 100 Taliban members worked as terrorist with Al Qaida, and that the Taliban no longer existed as a movement. “People associated with the former Communist regime are back. So are former mujahideen,” said Ludin “Therefore, nothing should really stop the Taliban rank and file from taking part in the national life of the country.” When Russia said the dividing into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Taliban factions was unacceptable for them, Ludin responded moderate, saying he was hoping that Moskow would clarify its official position. Ludin stated in June 2005 that the terrorist threat in Afghanistan was fragile: “(The guerrillas) are very small compared with the increasing capability of our own forces, compared with the combined capability of the international community that’s there to help us and compared to the will of the Afghan people.”
