The most important principle in the history of political and military struggles is that a movement succeeds only when it has a unified will, unified leadership, and a clear strategy. Sami Sadat’s recent confessions clearly demonstrate that not only are these three elements absent among the opposing factions, but there is also a deep-seated distrust prevailing among them.
The issue of proxy wars is a recognized reality in contemporary regional politics. Sami Sadat admits that neighboring countries are engaged in forming proxy groups, while they themselves carry out the task of these proxy groups against the Afghan people based on foreign support and foreign agendas. The experiences of the past few decades of wars in Afghanistan have shown that any movement relying on foreign sponsors is not sustainable; Sadat’s statements indicate that the groups opposing the Afghan government are fully under the influence of foreign agendas.
The lack of agreement among opposing groups is not just a political difference but also a difference in perspective and goals. Some of the Afghan government’s opponents are practically nourished by Pakistan’s table, while others declare opposition to Pakistan but remain silent in the face of the military regime’s aggression. Such contradictory positions of the opponents are clear signs of political discord and disunity, which the Afghan people will never trust in these positionless and unprecedented so-called virtual fronts.
The lack of coordination among the opposing factions of the Afghan government has reached such an extent that they have even been unable to reach consensus and unity of opinion on fundamental and national issues. When these opponents are so lacking in capacity, how can they possibly become an alternative to the legitimate and united ruling system!?
In political analysis, it is an important principle that an alternative must be stronger, more organized, and arise from the people, whereas the opposing factions of the Afghan government are neither organized, nor powerful, nor have they emerged from the people. These opponents are foreign and dual-nationality individuals, and they intend to play with the fate of the Afghan people for their own positions and desires.
Sami Sadat occasionally makes statements related to Pakistan, but his focus is mostly on criticizing the Afghan government; his statements are disorganized in terms of priorities and aim to poison the Afghan people with honey.
The Afghan government has proven to everyone thru its practical actions and activities that it has the full capability to thwart any kind of conspiracies against Afghanistan. The Afghan government’s practical struggle against conspiracies indicates that Afghanistan will not be a center of games and proxy groups like before but will stand firm against all kinds of threats.
