Dostum, a member of "Hezb-e Watan" (Homeland Party), distances himself from Najibullah, eventually aligning with Massoud's forces by early 1992.

Abdul Ali Mazari, the head of the Hazara Wahdat (Unity) party, a coalition of seven Iran-backed Shi'a parties, allies himself with Mas'ud and Dostum.

Dr. Abdullah, a close aide to Mas'ud since the 1980s, serves as the Rabbani government's spokesperson.

Sibghatullah Mujaddadi serves as the Acting President of Islamic State of Afghanistan from April- to June.

Mohammed Qaseem Fahim, a Massoud associate, is appointed Minister of National Security, and serves as commander of the state's forces in Kabul.

Fahim had previously served as the commander and administrator of Jamiat Islami forces in Perwan, Baghlan, and other areas, and served as the deputy director of the political committee of the mujahideen under Massoud.

Prominent Afghan politician 'Abd ar-Rahim Ghafuzai, who was one of the first Afghan officials to denounce the Soviet invasion at the United Nation sand worked closely with various mujahideen leaders during the Soviet occupation, is appointed as Afghanistan's Charge d' Affaires to the United Nations.
