Editing Afghan Students Association (section)

===Hafizullah Admin===
Hafizullah Amin, a key Khalq leader and Kabul University figure, led the Afghan students’ association at Columbia University (1957–1963), funded by the Asia Foundation, a known CIA front. The Asia Foundation, established in 1954, supported student groups, channeling funds through educational programs, per The Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders. While this funding targeted Afghan students in the U.S. Amin's support of the land reforms and other aspects of the government of Daoud was counter to CIA objectives and may have led to his assassination.
