Answer 1

Nur Muhammad Taraki was the President of Afghanistan at the start of 1979 to September 14.

Hafizullah Amin was the President of Afghanistan from September 14 to December 27.

Babrak Karmal was the President of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan from December 27.

Taraki was the Chairman of the Presidium of the Revolutionary Council from 1978 April 30 to 1979 September 14.

The Soviet backed Karmal attempted several reforms to attempt to unify the nation.
