	Story Behind the Song In 1979 Russian over 12,000 Russian troops invaded Afghanistan and Afghans started a resistance war against them. All of our people were unitedly fighting the Russian and their puppet regime. The song gives encouragement to freedom fighters. Unfortunately the fundamentalists groups were supported by the US and many other Western and regional powers, so when in 1992 the Russian puppet regime was overthrown, they started a civil war and committed hair raising crimes against our nation. Tens of thousands were killed and hundreds of women and girls were gang-raped by them.
