The opponents based abroad, who have a long history of negative propaganda against Afghanistan, have been carrying out foreign projects and agendas. Recently, the market for their toxic and negative propaganda has cooled down compared to the past. Their propaganda has become so meaningless and issueless that they interpret slogans written on walls, colors, and even the opening of closed streets and alleys negatively. They try to provide fuel for their propaganda machine because they have faced continuous defeats in spreading religious, ethnic, sectarian, and linguistic divisions through their toxic propaganda, and their dark and mysterious faces have been exposed to the people.
They have put Afghanistan under a microscope, scrutinizing every small, meaningless, and useless issue, exploiting it for negative propaganda. They even often interpret positive, legal, and principled matters and actions negatively, trying to inject negative and toxic propaganda into people’s minds. Recently, the Kabul Municipality and relevant agencies took some measures for urban order and beauty, but these opportunists and opponents entrenched in the realm of negative propaganda interpreted these actions negatively and launched extensive campaigns against them.
The Kabul Municipality and some organizations organized closed roads, misplaced obstacles, seized lands, and even streets and alleys for the convenience of the people and to reduce congestion. They freed the seized areas, reopened the closed roads, repaired bridges, footbridges, stairs, and flower pots. All these had been seized by warlords and gunmen for their personal use, but the Kabul Municipality and other organizations restored everything to its natural state. This was also interpreted and perceived negatively. On the other hand, the same municipality opened some blocked roads to the public, which was also interpreted negatively. They painted some walls for the city’s beauty and wrote new slogans on them after renovation, which was also interpreted negatively.
Finally, in this country where every step towards prosperity and progress is taken, they interpret it negatively and run their propaganda machine on these issues. But despite all these negative interpretations and comments, the general public has understood well why these people do this!? What is their goal!? And who funds them for what!? They receive money and salaries from these propaganda efforts, and in exchange for this money, they have auctioned off all their values, disgrace themselves every day, and auction off their values.
One thing that has become very noticeable over time is that these people have suffered a severe defeat in their poisonous propaganda; no one believes them. This has led them to lose their way, sometimes resorting to insulting and belittling individuals, sometimes trying to downplay historical achievements, sometimes working against accepted values, and ultimately doing anything to please their masters and maintain their salaries. However, if we look at the results, people do not believe them. People see the ground realities and truths and judge based on these realities, not on their false propaganda!
