Since the emergence of new, different, and positive developments in Afghanistan and the rise of a nation-focused and constructive government, which has put an end to many tyrannies and conflicts, the traitorous opponents, or the politicians and rulers of the day and the thieves and embezzlers of the night, have fallen into a political and economic deadlock. Out of desperation, they knock on every door and beg from anyone and everyone, but alas, there is no success and no step forward.
Politically, they have repeatedly faced failure in creating unified relations with each other, and every time they hold a meeting to take positive steps (in their own view), they encounter conflicting interests and differences in objectives, resulting in their circle falling apart.
Economically, everything is also evident; as long as their reputation was maintained domestically and they were supported from behind the scenes, their individual and collective economies were sustained by foreign supporters and lacked nothing. This was because it was only necessary to extract and fulfill the demands and wishes of foreigners from the heart and soul of the nation and homeland by any means and methods.
But now their false reign has come to an end, and consequently, the torrent of unaccounted wealth has ceased. Whenever a meeting with various opposition groups involves costs and sacrifices, each one steps back and avoids bearing the costs and sacrifices.
Therefore, despite every effort and pursuit to create a unified intellectual and political circle and to establish a purposeful system to strengthen political positions, due to the lack of a clear strategy and established discipline, they achieve nothing and become merely a disgrace in the virtual space and media frames every day.
What became clear to all the people and masses during this time was that this group, when they held the reins of power, were like people sitting around a ready and colorful feast, busy eating without showing any artistry or presenting a political beauty and a well-organized plan.
But now that their ceremonial attire has been stripped from their souls and their true nature has been revealed, they only want to create a fictitious and sinister union through appearances and holding meetings, taking steps and doing something positive. However, what has been seen and heard from them so far has been nothing but meaningless and empty words, showing the emptiness of their concepts and the vacuity of their statements and demands. Because as long as the goals are not firmly established on the wall of reality and a strong strategy has not given them strength and stability, the efforts will yield no results, and this broken and weak sapling will not bear fruit.
If we go back and observe their organized unity over the years across the homeland, we see that they were all only bound together by financial and personal interests, and each played a significant role in this fabricated scheme as long as they could secure their own interests without hesitation. But now that they are deprived of any role and funding, and can only attract attention by demonstrating their competence and wisdom, they are helpless and their efforts have become futile.
Another reason for the intensification of the fragmentation and division among the opponents during this time in exile and diaspora is the absence of qualified individuals with pure intentions and expertise. All the opponents who held power in occupied Afghanistan over the years either obtained their positions through money or by force and coercion.
Of course, there were individuals who were selected and chosen based on merit and competence and found their place within the government framework; however, even those few individuals, over time, upon witnessing the chaotic situation within the government framework and seeing political brawls and large-scale national embezzlements, either lacked the strength to change the situation and withdrew or were bribed and abandoned their clear political and administrative positions, joining the ranks of the same eat-and-run crowd.
All these events have led to the scattering and disarray of those individuals abroad today, wandering from one person to another, seeking a way to make a living and at least seemingly maintain their unity. It is also not hidden from the eyes that scholars and even the masses have realized that the opposition only talks big in front of the media but, in reality, have nothing to offer and have yet to perform any eye-catching activities, which they are truly incapable of doing.
For example, we can mention the opposition and fragmentation of two opposing groups, the Resistance Front and the United Front. These two relatively well-known groups, which almost have a semblance of political organizations in the scene of opposition and dissent, are now beating the drum of opposition against the caretaker government and the prevailing situation with greater intensity and more display, seeking to highlight weaknesses and failures.
However, despite being on the same front and apparently opposing the existence of the caretaker government in Afghanistan, they are unable to create unity and solidarity among themselves. Each speaks in favor of their own interests and benefits, rejecting the other to prevent one from becoming the sole owner of everything and monopolizing the field as in the past.
These two groups, who now make agreements and promises of collaboration and alliance on the sands of the desert and the sea floor but cannot reach a conclusion, how can it be expected that they will bring any good to the country and the nation? With their rise to power and the assumption of governmental authority, how can they bring prosperity to this ruin and wipe the dust off its face?
The main reason can be found in their lack of strategy and the self-serving and self-satisfied nature of each individual among them, and the essence of the matter can be distilled from their duplicitous and two-faced nature.
