Mohammed Daoud Khan or Daud Khan was the 5th Prime Minister of Afghanistan from 1953 to 1963 and the President of Afghanistan from 1973 to 1978. Born into the royal family, he overthrew the Musahiban monarchy of his first cousin Mohammed Zahir Shah and declared himself as the first President of Afghanistan in 1973 with Soviet backing, he would hold this position until his assassination in 1978 during the Saur Revolution led by the communist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan after he fell out of favor with the USSR. Khan was known for his progressive policies, efforts to improve women's rights, Pashtun nationalism, irredentist claims to land in northwest Pakistan, for initiating two five-year modernization plans which increased the labor force by about 50 percent; the 1978 coup and assassination plunged Afghanistan into an ongoing civil war. Khan was born in Kabul, the eldest son of the diplomat Prince Mohammed Aziz Khan and his wife, Khurshid Begum, he lost his father to an assassination in Berlin in 1933, while his father was serving as the Afghan Ambassador to Germany.

He and his brother Prince Naim Khan came under the tutelage of their uncle Prince Hashim Khan. Daoud proved to be an apt student of politics. Educated in France, he served as Governor of the Eastern Province in 1934-35 and in 1938–39, was Governor of Kandahar Province from 1935 to 1938, his father died when Daoud was 24. In 1939, Khan was promoted to Commander of the Central Forces; as commander, he helped quell the Safi during the Afghan tribal revolts of 1944–1947. From 1946 to 1948, he served as Defense Minister Interior Minister from 1949 to 1951. In 1948, he served as Afghan Ambassador to France. In 1951, he was promoted to General and served in that capacity as Commander of the Central Corps of the Afghan Armed Forces in Kabul from 1951 to 1953. Khan was appointed Prime Minister in September 1953 through an intra-family transfer of power that involved no violence, his ten-year tenure was noted for his foreign policy turn to the Soviet Union, the completion of the Helmand Valley project, which radically improved living conditions in southwestern Afghanistan, as well as tentative steps towards the emancipation of women.

With the creation of an independent Pakistan in August 1947, the Durand Line conflict with the British colonialists was inherited by that country and Afghanistan. Khan supported a nationalistic reunification of the Pakistani Pashtun people with Afghanistan, but this would have involved taking a considerable amount of territory from the new nation of Pakistan and was in direct opposition to an older plan of the 1940s whereby a confederation between the two countries was proposed; the move further worried the non-Pashtun populations of Afghanistan such as the minority Hazara and Uzbek, who suspected his intention was to increase the Pashtuns' disproportionate hold on political power. Border skirmishes with Pakistan began in 1949. Abdul Ghaffar Khan, claimed that Daoud Khan'only exploited the idea of reunification of Pashtun people to meet his own political ends'; the idea of'reunification of Pashtun people never helped Pashtuns' and it only caused trouble for Pakistan. In fact it was "never a reality".

Moreover, Daoud Khan policy of reunification of Pashtun people failed to gain any support from Pashtuns in Pakistan. Baloch tribe in Pakistan wondered why Daoud Khan had included Balochistan as part of his idea without their approval. In 1960, Khan sent troops across the poorly-marked Durand Line into the Bajaur Agency of Pakistan in an attempt to manipulate events in that area and to press the Pashtunistan issue, but the Afghan forces were defeated by the Pakistani Tribals. During this period, the propaganda war from Afghanistan, carried on by radio, was relentless. In 1961, Daoud Khan made another attempt to invade Bajaur with larger Afghan army this time. However, Pakistan employed F-86 Sabres jets which inflicted heavy casualties against the Afghan army unit and the tribesmen from Kunar province which were supporting the Afghan army. Several Afghan soldiers were captured and they were paraded in front of international media which in turn caused embarrassment for Daoud Khan. In 1961, as a result of his policies and support to militias in areas along the Durand Line, Pakistan closed its borders with Afghanistan and the latter severed ties, causing an economic crisis and greater dependence on the USSR.

The USSR became Afghanistan's principal trading partner. Within a few months, the USSR sent jet airplanes, tanks and light artillery, for a discounted price tag of $25 million, to Afghanistan; as a result of continued resentment against Daoud's autocratic rule, close ties with the USSR and economic downturn because of blockade imposed by Pakistan, Daoud Khan was asked to resign. Instead of resigning, Daoud Khan requested King Zahir Shah to approve new'one-party constitution' proposed by him which would in turn increase the Daoud Khan considerable power. Upon rejection, Daoud Khan angrily resigned; the crisis was resolved with his forced resignation in March 1963 and the re-opening of the border in May. Pakistan continued to remain suspicious of Afghan intentions and Daoud's policy left a negative impression in the eyes of many Tajiks who felt they were being disenfranchised for the sake of Pashtun Nationalism. In 1964, King Zahir Shah introduced a new constitution, for the first time excluding all members of the Royal Family from the Council of Ministers.

Khan had stepped down. In addition to having been Prime Minister, he had held the portfolios of Minister of Defense and Minister of Planning until 1963. On July 17, 1973 Khan seized power fr
