They were administered by the Ministry of the Interior , and led by Sayed Muhammad Gulabzoi . At one point , the Sarandoy held 115 , 000 men , compared to the Afghan Army ' s 160 , 000 , while at other points the Sarandoy were said to exceed the Army . The Sarandoy was subject to internal politics , as its forces were controlled by the Khalqi Communist faction , opposed to the Parchami communist faction which controlled the KhAD intelligence services . Accordingly , the Sarandoy and the KhAD found battles against each other on occasion . Mark Urban wrote in 1988 that ' . .

Camp seven ( Guantanamo ) Camp Seven ( also known as Camp Platinum ) is the most secure camp known within the Guantanamo Bay detention camp s , in Cuba . Its existence was kept secret for the first two years of its use . It was constructed to hold the fourteen " high - value detainee s " who had been held by the CIA , and were transferred to military custody on September 6 , 2006 . The detainees held in this camp are forced to don hoods when they are transferred from the camp to other locations for their military commission or other purposes . Lawyers for some of the other detainees , who faced charges before the Guantanamo military commissions , were initially told that they could not interview the detainees held in Camp Seven . They were told it would be a breach of the camp ' s security for them to know the camp ' s location . When the attorneys Suzanne Lachelier and Richard Federico offered to wear the same hoods the detainees wore , to visit the camp , they were eventually allowed to visit the camp , without wearing blindfolds . They were transported to the camp in the same windowless van as the detainees , so they did not know the camp ' s location . A recent budget request from the United States Southern Command for new prison construction at the base was presumed by reports to be for the replacement of Camp 7 , though specifics of existing facilities were not discussed .

Anglo - Egyptian treaty of 1936 The Anglo - Egyptian Treaty of 1936 was a treaty signed between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Egypt ; it is officially ( but seldom ) known as " The Treaty of Alliance Between His Majesty , in Respect of the United Kingdom , and His Majesty , the King of Egypt " . Under the terms of the treaty , the United Kingdom was required to withdraw all its troops from Egypt , except those necessary to protect the Suez Canal and its surroundings , numbering 10 , 000 troops plus auxiliary personnel . Additionally , the United Kingdom would supply and train Egypt ' s army and assist in its defence in case of war . The treaty was to last for 20 years ; it was signed on August 26 in Zaafarana palace , and ratified on 22 December . It was registered in " League of Nations Treaty Series " on 6 January 1937 . Among the pretexts for the treaty was the Second Italo - Abyssinian War , which had started in 1935 . King Farouk feared that the Italians might invade Egypt or drag it into the fighting . The 1936 treaty did not resolve the question of Sudan , which , under the terms of the existing Anglo - Egyptian Condominium Agreement of 1899 , stated that Sudan should be jointly governed by Egypt and Britain , but with real power remaining in British hands . With rising tension in Europe , the treaty expressively favoured maintaining the status quo . The treaty , however , was not welcomed by Egyptian nationalists like the Arab Socialist Party , who wanted full independence from Britain . It ignited a wave of demonstrations against the British and the Wafd Party , which had supported the treaty . On September 23 , 1945 , the Egyptian government demanded the modification of the treaty to terminate all British occupation , and also to allow the annexation of The Sudan . Following World War II , and the Wafd Party ' s victory in the boycotted 1950 election of Egypt , the new Wafd government unilaterally abrogated the treaty in October 1951 . Three years later , and with new government leadership under the popular Gamal Abdel Nasser , the UK agreed to withdraw its troops in the Anglo – Egyptian Agreement of 1954 ; the British withdrawal was completed in July 1956 . This date is seen as when Egypt gained full independence , but Nasser had already established an independent policy that caused tension with several Western powers . Following the abrupt withdrawal of an offer by Britain and the United States to fund the building of the Aswan Dam , Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal on 26 July 1956 , ostensibly to pay for the dam , and established compensation for the former owners . Nonetheless , some months later , France , Israel and Britain colluded to overthrow Nasser , and the Suez Crisis ensued . The Suez Crisis brought the western alliance to a disastrous juncture , where the United States became distrusted by Britain and France . The Soviet Union threatened Britain and France with nuclear bombardment if they did not withdraw from Suez . The United States did not side with its Anglo - French allies and instead supported the Soviet Union ' s demand for Anglo - French withdrawal .
