          Mohammad Daoud Khan

          Afghan prime minister (1953–1963) and president (1973–1978)

          Mohammad Daoud Khan (Pashto: محمد داود خان; also romanized as Daud Khan[2] or Dawood Khan;[3] 18 July 1909 – 28 April 1978) was an Afghan military officer and politician who served as prime minister of Afghanistan from 1953 to 1963 and, as leader of the 1973 Afghan coup d'état which overthrew the monarchy, served as the first president of Afghanistan from 1973 until he himself was deposed in a coup and killed in the Saur Revolution.[4]

          Born into the Afghan royal family and addressed by the prefix "Sardar", Khan started as a provincial governor and later a military officer before being appointed as prime minister by his cousin, King Mohammad Zahir Shah, serving for a decade.

          Having failed to persuade the King to implement a one-party system, Khan overthrew the monarchy in a virtually bloodless coup with the backing of Afghan Army officers,
