The activities of the so-called opponent groups of the Afghan government sometimes become noteworthy in Asia and Europe due to their intelligence network. Opponents have held meetings, gatherings, and political activities in European countries, Iran, Pakistan, and some other Asian countries with the support of foreign intelligence organizations. In these meetings, which are ostensibly held under the guise of change, coordination, and paving new paths for the future, the titles are limited to claims and slogans, as the goals of these groups are somethings else.
Despite the fact that some countries in the region, especially the military regime of Pakistan, are now supporting these proxy groups and want to use them for their nefarious purposes and to destabilize the region, they have not yet achieved any results. The main question is why, despite the numerous efforts and meetings of the opponent groups, they have still not been able to get closer to their goals and take practical action!?
With the arrival of the new Afghan government, a number of former military and political figures whose hands are stained with the blood of oppressed Afghans fled abroad with foreign invaders. These figures now consider themselves opponents of the Afghan government and have emerged in the form of fragmented groups under various names and frameworks. These groups initially sought to gain international and regional support, for which they undertook extensive political and diplomatic activities. In the past five years, meetings, conferences, and political visits have been held in various European countries with international intelligence organizations to encourage Western and international intelligence agencies to once again invade Afghanistan and restore their rule of theft, barbarism, terror, and oppression.
The goal of these groups was to present a distorted image of the Afghan government in international meetings, so that they could impose their fallen ideology and misguided demands on the Afghan people by the force of a foreign gun. However, international community have not believed their baseless and empty slogans because the realities are clear to the international community and all countries. The current government has broad support from the Afghan people, has ensured comprehensive security in Afghanistan, and governs as a reality. The government has taken practical steps toward progress and stability. In contrast, the opposing groups are merely trying to conduct futile propaganda against the Afghan government based on their slogan-based meetings and foreign connections in order to misrepresent the reality.
On the other hand, recently, some intelligence organizations, particularly the ISI, have engaged with opponent groups and proxy forces, holding several meetings to set an agenda for them. According to reports, these meetings mostly discuss propaganda issues, which have not yielded any practical results so far. The latest meeting in London comes at a time when Pakistan is dropping bombs on Afghan soil, martyring children, and women. Meeting with the ISI at such a sensitive time means endorsing and praising these bombings.
The Afghan people have well recognized the enemies of the country, whose only first and last choices are prejudice, theft, brutality, and servitude to foreigners. The people must remain vigilant, as these enemies of the country are still trying to undermine the existing peace and stability in Afghanistan, but they will never achieve their nefarious goals because they have lost the trust of the international community and the people.
The opponents of the Afghan government are failing in their plans because they have not yet been able to unite under a single political slogan. Currently, each group has its own separate agenda, stance, vision, and policy, and this division has made it impossible for the world to trust them. Their activities revolve around gaining support from Western and regional countries, but evidence has shown that the world no longer supports these groups.
Some opponents of the Afghan government, who consider themselves leaders of the opposition, at the same time knock on the door of an intelligence organization (ISI) that has always been hostile to Afghanistan, has ignited fires in Afghanistan for decades, whose politics are based solely on shedding the blood of innocent people in the region and hypocrisy, and has always rented out wars against Muslims at the behest of the West. These close ties with this organization have also challenged the claim of independent thot and will by the Afghan government’s opposing factions. This is a clear contradiction in the actions and claims of the opposition, as they advocate for a better future for Afghanistan on one hand, while on the other hand, they seek support from those (Pakistan) who is considered the root of the problem.
Opposing groups that still talk about war and confrontation should understand that the Afghan people are tired of wars. After decades of continuous insecurity, instability, and sacrifices, the priority of the Afghan people is not war, but peace, stability, and security. Those groups that still view politics from the perspective of war have, in reality, strayed from the genuine desires of the people, because Afghans no longer seek war, but rather a peaceful, dignified, and stable life.
In the past five years, the efforts, meetings, and connections of the Afghan government’s opposing groups show that they are merely delusional about fake power; they hope to serve foreign entities, implement the nefarious goals of foreign intelligence, and spill the blood of Afghans. But it seems that these meetings are limited to mere slogans. The lack of a united opposition leadership, internal differences, lack of public support, and extreme reliance on foreign parties are the fundamental factors that have led to their failure. Their intelligence ties with Pakistan in the region will further push them toward isolation.
