Amanul Mulk

Religious scholars among the Safi ruled that anyone who rebelled against their King and died should be excluded from being counted as martyrs.^[2] Therefore, they were required to select one of their own as king.^[2] In either 1944 or 1945, the Safi selected Salemai as king, Amanat Lewana as prime minister and Amanul Mulk as minister of defence.^[3] The Safi were ultimately defeated by the Afghan government.

In 1947, Mulk had a reunion in Shulgara with Shahswar and Salemai.^[2] Mulk eventually left Afghanistan, and lived in Peshawar by the 1980s.^[2]

In 1983, he met with historian David B. Edwards, who described him as being an "old man" by this time. Edwards interviewed Mulk on the Safi role in the tribal revolts of 1944–1947.^[3]

In The Rule of Law in Afghanistan: Missing in Inaction, released in April 2011, it is stated that Amanul Mulk "died recently in Peshawar", that he continued wearing a military jacket until his last days, and that his offspring still live in Shulgara.^[2]
