We have written elsewhere of the abdication of King Amanullah.
When we write, it is not known where he 76 is, but nobody supposes that he would be able to stay with safety in Afghanistan. Although the Shinwaris and the Mohmands are said to have been satisfied with the concessions which Amanullah made before he abdi- cated, the famous robber leader, Bacha-i-Saqao, has seized some of the heights overlooking Kabul and appa- rently means to carry on the rebellion. Possibly he is not satisfied with Amanullah's concessions, or he may be 82 opposed personally to the new King. It does not look, 83 therefore, as though the revolution is yet ended, and there is always the possibility that Amanullah may try to rally round him enough fighting men to take the field 85 again. The new King, Inayatullah, has always been a 86 quiet, indolent man, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to grapple with conditions of turmoil.
