Revolutionary Toilers Society of Afghanistan

Revolutionary Toilers Society of Afghanistan (Persian: جماعت انقلابی زحمتکشان افغانستان, abbreviated جازا, Jam'iat-e Inqilabi-ye Zahmatkashan-e Afghanistan, 'JAZA') was a political organization in Afghanistan, a dissident faction of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. JAZA was led by Kandahari Zaher Ufoq. The group criticized the PDPA from a leftist position, for example for not having declared dictatorship of the proletariat following the Saur Revolution.[1]

The organisation later split with youth cardres forming the Organisation of Toilers' Fedayan of Afghanistan advocating the continuation of armed struggle.[2]
