Even in a
country as fractious as Afghanistan.
From 2007:
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan’s former King Mohammad Zahir
Shah, whose 40-year reign coincided with one of the most peaceful periods in
the country’s history, died on Monday aged 92.
President Hamid Karzai declared three days of mourning and
ordered flags to be flown at half mast for the man heralded as “father of the
nation” after he returned from 29 years of exile in 2002 to live out his last
years as an ordinary citizen.
“With paramount grief, I would like to inform my countrymen
that ... Mohammad Zahir Shah has bid farewell to this mortal world,” Karzai
told reporters at the presidential palace.
The former king died in his bed after months of illness.
Karzai described Zahir Shah as the founder of Afghan democracy
and a symbol of national unity.
Zahir Shah ruled Afghanistan from 1933 until he was deposed by
his cousin in 1973. Since then Afghanistan has seen coups, wars and invasions
that have cost millions of lives.

Because of
the unifying and calming effects of kings, the Elite do everything they can to
undermine and discredit them:
