During the 1980s he was a mujahideen commander leading the Partisans of National Liberation of Afghanistan (PNLA). ^{[4] [5]}

Following the collapse of Najibullah's government, Brahui was appointed as Governor of Nimruz and the Commander of the 4th Brigade in the government of Burhanuddin Rabbani.

When the Taliban under Mullah Omar took control of Nimruz in 1995, Brahui and his troops fled to neighboring Baluchistan Province of Iran. ^[6] At that point Hamidullah Niyazmand became governor of the province. ^[4] During the Afghan Interim Administration, Brahui was again appointed as the Governor of Nimruz and Commander of 4th Brigade.

In early 2009, militants attempted to kill Brahui in a suicide attack. ^{[7] [8]} In early 2011, Brahui again escaped unhurt in a remote-controlled bomb explosion. He was visiting an irrigation project on the Lashkari canal when his vehicle was hit with a remote control mine in the 2nd district of Zaranj, near the Darul Ulam Madrasa (Islamic school) in the city. ^[9]
