The former/last King of Afghanistan, Mohammed Zahir Shah, has died at the age of 92 following a long illness.
Zahir Shah was deposed in 1973 by a coup led by his cousin Mohammad Daoud Khan when he was in Italy receiving medical treatment for an eye condition. Since then he went into exile in Italy, and only returned to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taleban in 2002.
Many Afghans had a deep love and respect for Zahir Shah, whose lengthy reign was associated with peace, security and modest political reform. His 40-year reign saw women receiving education and voting in elections, and a free press. Sources: BBC & Wikipedia
