Background and career

Ahmad Zia Massoud (born 1 May 1956) is an Afghan politician who served as the first vice president of Afghanistan in the first elected administration of President Hamid Karzai, from December 2004 to November 2009.

He is a younger brother of the late Ahmad Shah Massoud, the resistance leader against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and against the Taliban. In late 2011, Ahmad Zia Massoud joined hands with major leaders in the National Front of Afghanistan, which strongly opposed a return of the Taliban to power. The National Front was generally regarded as a reformation of the United Front (Northern Alliance) which with U.S. air support temporarily removed the Taliban from power in late 2001.
