Afghanistan Mujahedin Freedom Fighters Front

Afghanistan Mujahedin Freedom Fighters Front (Persian: جبهه مبارزين مجاهد افغانستان, AMFF, Pashto: د افغانستان د مبارزو مجاهدینو جبهه) was a united front of four Afghan paramilitary factions including the Revolutionary Group of the Peoples of Afghanistan (RGPA, later named Afghanistan Liberation Organization [ALO]) and the Liberation Organization of the People of Afghanistan (SAMA)—together with Traditionalists Islamists including the Afghanistan National Liberation Front, in June 1979. They set aside their ideological differences in the fight against a common enemy. The Front fought against the pro-Soviet government and later also the Soviet Army during the Soviet–Afghan War. However, they would collapse after the head of AMFF, Mulavi Dawood, was abducted and killed by the Islamic Party in Peshawar in November 1986.
