There is a possibility that Nazar Mohammad refers to two different people with the same name, as by multiple sources (including Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, The Ohio State University, 10 January 1986, p. 1), the "Minister of National Defense" was called "Lieutenant General Nazar Mohammad" while the "Minister of Construction Affairs" was just called "Nazar Mohammad" without any titles.

According to a paper of the Stanford University from May 1984 ([17]), Khalil Ahmad Abawi was replaced by Sarwar Mangal as "Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Planning Committee" on 18 October 1983. However, a paper of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ([18]) still names Abawi as "Deputy [Chairman]" on 10 January 1986.
Arian was not Deputy Chairman before 9 August 1982 when he was only referred to as "member of the PDPA CC and Vice-President of the RC" (see The Kabul Times, 9 August 1982, p. 1), but was named as "Deputy [Chairman]" on 13 October 1982 (see Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, University of California, 13 October 1982).

Though unlikely as they are named separately in the January 1987 edition of the paper Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments (University of California, 8 January 1987, p. 1), Mohammad Aziz and Mohammad Aziz Negahban may be the same person.
In a paper of the University of Michigan from January 1982 about the Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, Mohammad Rafie is marked as being "in [the] USSR" and Abdul Qadir being the acting Defense Minister; however, this status quo stood until further notice, which effectively meant that Rafie was only de jure and Qadir was de facto Defense Minister. This is further solidified by a paper of the Stanford University from May 1984, which said that Rafie "had returned on Aug. 15 from the Soviet military academy where he had been since early 1982". On 25 September 1982, the move was made permanently, when the Revolutionary Council approved Qadir as Defense Minister while Rafie was made Deputy Chairman.

On 12 May 1982, the post of Irrigations Minister did not exist (see Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, University of Michigan, 12 May 1982), but on 15 July 1982 it already existed (see Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, The Ohio State University, 15 July 1982, and The Kabul Times, 19 July 1982, p. 1).

Vijay K Nambiar: MY YEARS IN KABUL 1990-1992, p. 23. "There was also speculation that top Watan party leaders and army commanders, like Nabi Azimi and Mohammed Asif Delawar were in touch with Masood. Some of these contacts including that by Abdul Wakil were being made with the knowledge of Najib and intended to prevent any impending bombardment of Kabul, thus affecting civilian lives there. But each leader, it would seem, was also pushing a private agenda."

In December 1993, Hekmatyar's power as Prime Minister slowly started to deteriorate, when media outlets controlled by President Burhanuddin Rabbani spread rumors that Hekmatyar, who never set foot into the city of Kabul during his entire tenure, has resigned. On 1 January 1994, Hekmatyar's Hezbi Islami switched alliances, joining Junbish-i-Milli leader Abdul Rashid Dostum and others to form the Shura-i Hamahangi. This alliance controlled small, but significant parts of Kabul ([29]), and tried to besiege the rest of the Jamiat-e Islami controlled parts. However, on 26 July 1994, Rabbani and Massoud forces were able to push the alliance out of the city ([30], [31]), gaining more and more influence while diminishing Hekmatyar's role. At least after 14 February 1995, when Hekmatyar was forced to flee from his headquarter in Chahar Asyab, he de facto lost control of the cabinet, definitively ending his first tenure as Prime Minister.
All in all, it was more of a gradual decline of Hekmatyar's power rather than an aprupt or clear-cut end. Therefore, there are differing views on when exactly one can consider his term to have effectively ended, however, most sources point to 28 June 1994 (right after the Shura-i Hamahangi were forced out of Kabul), when Rabbani's first term as President would regularly have ended ([32]). It is important to consider that Hekmatyar's tenure de jure did not end until November 1995 when he officially was remoed from the cabinet.
While, if any exact date is mentioned at all ([33]), most sources say Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's tenure ended on 28 June 1994, it is not clear who really controlled the Prime Ministry afterwards. Up until 14 February 1995, it could be argued that Hekmatyar still hat some sort of influence on the cabinet (before being forced to flee out of the Kabul Province). Many sources, however, point out that President Rabbani and Massoud's troops forced Hekmatyar out of the city, Deputy Prime Minister Arsala Rahmani replaced him as acting Prime Minister, either right away ([34]) or in November 1994 ([35]).

Edward A. Gargan: Rebels' Leader Arrives in Kabul And Forms an Islamic Republic. The New York Times, 29 April 1992.
Edward A. Gargan: AFGHAN PRESIDENT OUSTED AS REBELS APPROACH CAPITAL, The New York Times, April 17, 1992. "President Najibullah of Afghanistan was ousted from power today and reportedly detained as he sought to flee Kabul in advance of the Islamic rebels and rebellious Government armies surging toward the capital. The detention was announced by Foreign Minister Abdul Wakil. He did not specify who had detained Mr. Najibullah, the man the Soviets installed as President six years ago, and refused to say where he was being held. The Associated Press reported this evening that a coalition of rebel leaders and army officers appeared to be in charge in Kabul."
Thomas L. Friedman: U.S. Urges Afghan Factions To Avoid Violent Anarchy, The New York Times, April 17, 1992. "The United States called on all factions in the Afghanistan war today to cooperate with the United Nations in a peaceful transition of power, arguing that otherwise the country could slip into violent anarchy after President Najibullah's fall from power. But behind the scenes, American officials acknowledge that the United States has very few interests at stake in Afghanistan, now that the cold war is over and the former Soviet Union no longer has a military presence in the country near the oil-producing Persian Gulf. Washington has financed a 13-year proxy war by Muslim guerrillas to topple a succession of Soviet-backed regimes. Now that Mr. Najibullah has been ousted, American officials say they have very limited aspirations for Afghanistan. They say their primary concern is that a reasonable level of stability returns to the remote country so it does not destabilize Pakistan or the newly emerging independent states in Muslim central Asia."
The Associated Press: AFGHAN GUERRILLAS ORDER KABUL ARMY TO SURRENDER CITY, The New York Times, April 18, 1992. "Muslim rebels took up positions on the outskirts of the capital today, demanding the surrender of the Afghan Army and the new Government. But they held off on a full-scale offensive. The deposed Afghan leader, President Najibullah, who was toppled on Thursday, stayed out of sight and was apparently in hiding in the capital. The United Nations was said to be trying to negotiate safe passage out of the country for him. Throughout the day, as the Government fired on advancing guerrillas, the distant crackle of guns and artillery fire and the dull thud of rockets could be heard. After nightfall, tracer bullets and flashes of artillery could be seen from behind the hills."
Reuters: Despite Rebels' Tug of War, Afghan Talks Advance, The New York Times, April 19, 1992. "Surrounded by rebels and weakened by the fall of a major city, Afghanistan's new Government agreed today to continue peace talks with one of the most powerful guerrilla leaders. Foreign Minister Abdul Wakil said at a news conference that he had agreed with Ahmad Shah Masood, whose forces are poised outside the capital, to hold more talks and to invite other rebel leaders to participate. The peace talks, the first officially acknowledged contact between the Government and rebels in nearly 14 years of civil war, were held throughout Friday and into the night "in an atmosphere of sincerity, clarity and frankness," Mr. Wakil said."
Afghanistan: From Coup to Rebel Victory, The New York Times, April 26, 1992. "[...] March 18: President Najibullah offers to transfer power to interim government that would be established under the United Nations plan. April 10: The new United Nations Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, says warring parties have agreed to form a "pre-transition council" that will hand over power to an interim government. April 15: Muslim rebels claim control of the country's main military base, 35 miles north of the capital, and start marching toward Kabul. April 16: Mr. Najibullah is ousted from power and goes into hiding. Rebel factions begin converging on the capital. April 17: Western city of Herat falls to rebels. Muslim rebels take up positions on outskirts of the capital and demand surrender of Government. April 18: With the United Nations' peace plan overtaken by events, leaders of 10 Afghan rebel factions start negotiating in Peshawar, Pakistan, on makeup of a new interim Government. April 20: Guerrillas expand control over key Afghan towns, with the exception of Kabul and Jalalabad. The United Nations special envoy, Benon Sevan, acknowledges that his plan for a neutral interim government has been derailed and accepts possibility of a governing council led by guerrilla factions. April 24: Rebel groups fan out in Kabul, setting up offices and checkpoints, while the remnants of the Government cling to power in city's center. Jalalabad falls to guerrillas and defecting Government troops. April 25: Political leaders of 10 major rebel factions agree on composition of interim Afghan government. Hours later Kabul falls to the rebels, who take over Government ministries and installations."

Rabbani was named chairman of the Defense Commission for two months until a permanent Defense Minister was named. This status quo was officially continued after those two months (see: Human Rights Watch World Report 1994 - Afghanistan, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 1 January 1994). But during this entire time, Ahmad Shah Massoud de facto still was Defense Minister (U.S. Department of State Country Report on Human Rights Practices 1995 - Afghanistan, 30 January 1996) acting under the name of "military chief of Afghanistan" (U.S. SENATOR IN AFGHANISTAN, The Washington Post, 8 April 1996), even though Deputy Defense Minister Yunus Qanuni was sometimes mentioned as acting Defense Minister since the turn of 1995/96.
Hekmatyar was named chairman of the Interior Commission for two months until a permanent Interior Minister was named. This status quo was officially continued after those two months (see: Human Rights Watch World Report 1994 - Afghanistan, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 1 January 1994) until Hekmatyar was officially removed from the cabinet before 1 November 1995.

In December 1993, Hekmatyar's power as Prime Minister slowly started to deteriorate, when media outlets controlled by President Burhanuddin Rabbani spread rumors that Hekmatyar, who never set foot into the city of Kabul during his entire tenure, has resigned. On 1 January 1994, Hekmatyar's Hezbi Islami switched alliances, joining Junbish-i-Milli leader Abdul Rashid Dostum and others to form the Shura-i Hamahangi. This alliance controlled small, but significant parts of Kabul ([29]), and tried to besiege the rest of the Jamiat-e Islami controlled parts. However, on 26 July 1994, Rabbani and Massoud forces were able to push the alliance out of the city ([30], [31]), gaining more and more influence while diminishing Hekmatyar's role. At least after 14 February 1995, when Hekmatyar was forced to flee from his headquarter in Chahar Asyab, he de facto lost control of the cabinet, definitively ending his first tenure as Prime Minister.
All in all, it was more of a gradual decline of Hekmatyar's power rather than an aprupt or clear-cut end. Therefore, there are differing views on when exactly one can consider his term to have effectively ended, however, most sources point to 28 June 1994 (right after the Shura-i Hamahangi were forced out of Kabul), when Rabbani's first term as President would regularly have ended ([32]). It is important to consider that Hekmatyar's tenure de jure did not end until November 1995 when he officially was remoed from the cabinet.
While, if any exact date is mentioned at all ([33]), most sources say Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's tenure ended on 28 June 1994, it is not clear who really controlled the Prime Ministry afterwards. Up until 14 February 1995, it could be argued that Hekmatyar still hat some sort of influence on the cabinet (before being forced to flee out of the Kabul Province). Many sources, however, point out that President Rabbani and Massoud's troops forced Hekmatyar out of the city, Deputy Prime Minister Arsala Rahmani replaced him as acting Prime Minister, either right away ([34]) or in November 1994 ([35]).
It is not clear when exactly Arsala Rahmani was replaced by Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai as de facto acting Prime Minister. Some sources say Ahmadzai took office in February 1995, right after Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's last stronghold fell to the Taliban, while others say Rahmani stood in office until 16 November 1995 before Ahmadzai replaced him ([36]).

In a paper of the University of Michigan from January 1982 about the Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments, Mohammad Rafie is marked as being "in [the] USSR" and Abdul Qadir being the acting Defense Minister; however, this status quo stood until further notice, which effectively meant that Rafie was only de jure and Qadir was de facto Defense Minister. This is further solidified by a paper of the Stanford University from May 1984, which said that Rafie "had returned on Aug. 15 from the Soviet military academy where he had been since early 1982". On 25 September 1982, the move was made permanently, when the Revolutionary Council approved Qadir as Defense Minister while Rafie was made Deputy Chairman.

AFGHANISTAN'S CAPITAL FALLS TO MUSLIM REBELS – RIVAL GROUPS SEIZE KEY INSTALLATIONS IN HURRIED, TENSE TAKEOVER OF KABUL, The Washington Post, April 26, 1992. "Kabul, symbol of the last and bloodiest battle of the Cold War, has fallen. Exactly 14 years after a Soviet-backed leftist revolution plunged Afghanistan into civil war, thousands of heavily armed Muslim mujaheddin rebels poured into the Afghan capital today, taking control of army garrisons, government ministries, police stations, the presidential palace, streets and neighborhoods. The takeover was largely peaceful but often tense. A host of rebel groups raced to key locations and jostled for position inside the capital, sometimes dividing control over a single city block or government facility and effectively putting the capital into the hands of a polyglot patchwork of mujaheddin parties and ethnic militias. The guerrillas marched mostly unopposed into garrisons and government buildings, talked with soldiers and officials on duty, relieved them of weapons and then sometimes sent them home."

Rabbani was named chairman of the Defense Commission for two months until a permanent Defense Minister was named. This status quo was officially continued after those two months (see: Human Rights Watch World Report 1994 - Afghanistan, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 1 January 1994). But during this entire time, Ahmad Shah Massoud de facto still was Defense Minister (U.S. Department of State Country Report on Human Rights Practices 1995 - Afghanistan, 30 January 1996) acting under the name of "military chief of Afghanistan" (U.S. SENATOR IN AFGHANISTAN, The Washington Post, 8 April 1996), even though Deputy Defense Minister Yunus Qanuni was sometimes mentioned as acting Defense Minister since the turn of 1995/96.
