Personal details
Born	1952 Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin

Munshi Abdul Majid (

Pashto

In 2005 he was appointed governor of Badakhshan Province, where in 2007 he led a successful opium eradication campaign. The opium poppy cultivation zones were reduced to 200 hectares, whereas they had reached 15,607 hectares in 2004. However, the fall of opium prices might have also played an important part in this decrease. In addition, the eradication campaign caused a worsening of the security situation in Badakhshan. In April 2009, protests erupted over Governor Majid's alleged abuse of power, and he was removed from his post. In 2010, he was appointed governor of Baghlan Province.^[2]

Governor Majid is a high-ranking member of

Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, and he is allegedly involved in strengthening the party and rebuilding its communications network across the country.^[1] He is close to fellow Hezb-e-Islami member Juma Khan Hamdard.^[2]
