Sediq Afghan (Dari: صدیق افغان ) is an Afghan political activist.[1] He is the founder and head of the World Philosophical Math Research Center in Kabul, Afghanistan. He had a prominent role in protests in Kabul about Afghanistan- and Islam-related issues, including an anti-American protest in 2003,[2] a hunger strike to protest beatings of journalists by Afghan security officers in 2006, and another one to protest the 2008 Danish Muhammad cartoons.[3][4]

Sediq Afghan appears on the Russian propaganda TV shows on a regular basis, making predictions (which he claims are based on his mathematical research) of Russia winning the war and of various global catastrophic events.[5][6] He claims various achievements that fail fact checks, such as: “He is one of the greatest geniuses of the world and is listed by the UN as a UNESCO heritage of humankind”.[6][7]
