Early 1913

In the Khost Valley the Mangals and Jadrans were in a dispute, and the leading chief of the Jadrans had to return several hundred rifles to the amir as his tribesmen refused to fulfill their agreement to render military service.

The tribes were never subdued, and in peace talks of the valley, which ended the operations of the Afghan expedition in 1912, they dictated the terms. The result was troubling to the British districts neighboring the valley because the outlaws who carried out the raids were safe when they made their escape into Khost.

On other parts of the frontier the amir carried out his agreement to remove all outlaws from a distance of fifty miles from the frontier, but in Khost his orders are ineffective.

October 1913

A new conspiracy against the amir was discovered at Kabul, led by Sardar Mohammad Yunus Khan, the grandson of Sardar Shah Khan, who had rebelled against the amir Abdur Rahman Khan in the later 1880s.

He was allowed by the amir to return and take up his residence in Kabul. On the discovery of the conspiracy the amir held a family durbar (an Afghani court session) at which he reproached Yunus for his ingratitude and condemned him to death. The amir then retired and Yunus is executed, being first stoned and then stabbed to death. Several of his accomplices are executed afterwards.

Ahmadiyya in Afghanistan Islamic community in Afghanistan

Ahmadiyya is an Islamic community in Afghanistan, under the leadership of the caliph in London. The earliest contact with the Ahmadiyya movement in Islam and the Pashtun people within modern-day boundaries of Afghanistan, occurred during the lifetime of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The movement began by Ahmad, was largely seen as apostasy by most other Muslim groups, including by those in Afghanistan, and accordingly only twelve years after Ahmad's claim to be the promised Mahdi, two of the foremost Ahmadi Muslims were stoned to death in Kabul during 1901 to 1903. The killings continued until 1925, when in 1924–1925, under Emir Amanullah Khan, affiliation with Ahmadiyya beliefs became a capital offence and those who converted were forcibly reverted.

The Khost rebellion was a rebellion in Khost that took place in 1912 in the Emirate of Afghanistan, and was the only serious crisis during the reign of Habibullah Khan.

The Third Afghan Civil War was fought from 9 June 1863 to January 1869. It began as a result of Dost Mohammad Khan's death on 9 June 1863 and the subsequent power struggles among his sons. Dost Mohammad consolidated his power in the second half of his reign within his inner family. His sons were appointed governors of provinces and effectively acted autonomous from the central government. This would inevitably lead to his sons fighting for control after his death.
