Kabir Stori (6 April 1942 – 4 April 2006) (Pashto: کبیر ستوری) was a Pashtun nationalist, poet, and writer from Kunar Province of Afghanistan. He was chairman of the Pashtoons Social Democratic Party, a political party that he founded, until his death.[1]

Early life[edit]

Stori was born on 6 April 1942 in Khas Kunar, a village in Kunar Province of Afghanistan. Stori was Mirdadkhel, from the Yousafzai tribe.[2][3] His primary education was from a government elementary school in Khas Kunar; later he joined the Rahman Baba Lycee in Kabul to further his education. He was selected by the Afghan government due to very good school performance to study in Germany. Kabir studied psychology with political science, sociology, and philosophy from the universities of Frankfurt, Cologne, and Marburg, attaining a doctorate in natural sciences (Diplom Psychologist, Dr. rer. nat.).[4][5]

Political activities[edit]

In 1966 Stori joined as a member of the Afghan Students Association in Frankfurt, serving as its chairman. He also served as chairman of the General Union of Afghan Students in 1972 and the National Liberation Union of Pashtuns and Balochs in Frankfurt in 1976. He worked for the Deutsche Welle in 1973 as an announcer/editor and helped to build the Pashto Service.[6] He founded the Pashtoons Social Democratic Party (PSDP) in February 1981 in Germany and was the first elected chairman. [7][8]

Kabir Stori refused several offers from Mohammad Najibullah and Hamid Karzai to join the Afghan government but denied both on political grounds.[9]

He also served on the editorial boards of various magazines including: [10]

  • Sparghai (1972) (monthly) published by the 'General Union of Afghan Students',
  • Olas Ghag (1976) published by the 'National Liberation Union of Pashtoons and Baluchs',
  • Peer Rokhan (1978) (monthly),
  • Lamba (1985) (monthly),
  • De Khyber Wagma (1986) (monthly) published in Germany and
  • Pashtoonkhwa (1978) published by Social Democratic Party - Germany.

He played a pivotal role in

  • De Pakhtano Kulturi Tolana - Germany (Pashtoon Cultural Association) in 1985,
  • Pakhtoon Kor - Germany (1993) and
  • the Pakhtoonkhwa Pohanay Dera (1998) (The Pashtoonkhwa Home of Science) in Peshawar and in the year 2003 the Pakhto Adabi Hunari Tolana in Kunar.

Arrest and Political Imprisonment[edit]

On January 16, 1983, Afghan citizen Kabir Stori was arrested in Pakistan while visiting his family in Peshawar. The reason for his arrest was attributed to his endangerment of Pakistan's security through his advocacy for a united Pashtunistan, reflecting the political tensions and suppression of dissenting voices under the regime of General Zia-ul-Haq. Amnesty International received reports of Stori being subjected to torture. He spent approximately one and a half years in various prisons in Peshawar due to his nationalist ideals for Afghans.[11][12] His plight came to the attention of leading political and diplomatic circles in the Federal Republic of Germany through the Deutsche Welle (Voice of Germany). The RFFU took steps to secure his release, and Hermann Schreiber, editor of the magazine, published a report on Stori's case in GEO magazine on August 11, 1983. Stori's detention was a result of his advocacy for the Pashtun cause and his opposition to the dictatorial government.[13]

Creation of the PSDP[edit]

The Pashtoons Social Democratic Party (PSDP) is distinctively known as the first organization[14] of its kind to operate branches across Europe, as well as in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, it is the only party to this day that represents and accepts Pashtuns from both countries, be it Afghanistan or Pakistan.[15]

The initial constitution of the PSDP was collaboratively penned by Dr. Kabir Stori, Ali Khan Masood, Liaqat Watanpal, and Qoudus Tandar.[16]

Manzoor Pashteen, a notable figure in Pashtun activism, maintained a close relationship with the current chairman, Ali Khan Masood, who is also his grandfather. This relationship greatly influenced Pashteen's political actions, most notably the founding of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM). [17]

ساھ مې واخله خو پښــتو رانه وا نه اخلې

Sa me wakhla kho Pashto rana wa nakhle

Take my breath but don't take my Pashto

زهء پښــتون یم په پښـتو باندې پتمن یم

Sa Pashtun yem pa Pakhto bande Patman yem

I'm Pashtun, respected by Pashto

كه زما ستوري په قبر چېرې راشې

Ka sama Stori pa kaber chera rashe

If you come to Stori's grave

پهء پښتو راته دعا كړه، پرې مېن يم

Pa Pashto rata dawa wakra par mayen yem

Pray for me in Pashto because I'm in love with it
