unwilling to give up the independence which they had enjoyed during the
recent anarchy. Two serious revolts, by the Shinwaris in February and
by the people of Koh-i-daman in July 1930, were successfully overcome,
but financial and other difficulties remained. At the end of September
1930 His Majesty’s Government, with a view to assisting towards the
reconstruction of Afghanistan and the restoration of stable conditions
after the recent civil wars, made a gift of 10,000 rifles and ammunition
and a loan of £100,000, which was followed a few months later by a
further loan of £75,000.
In September 1930 the first “ Great Assembly ” of King Nadir Shah’s
reign met at Kabul. Resolutions were passed in favour of a democratic
monarchy with Nadir Shah as King, and of forfeiture of ex-King Aman-
ulla Khan’s property in Afghanistan. By the middle of October the
nomad Ghilzais, whose attitude during the summer had caused some
anxiety, had moved down to India and the first anniversary of the King’s
entry into Kabul was celebrated in an atmosphere of comparative peace.

had for some months been raiding on both sides of the Oxus with a consi
derable following, was there any cause for immediate anxiety. In De
cember he despatched his brother, General Shah Mahmud, the War
Minister, with a considerable force to deal with this outlaw and establish
his authority in the Northern Provinces.
