Ahmad Massood, like his father, is being pushed by certain circles to create another artificial hero. We often hear that history repeats itself, but only those who observe or study history understand this.
We have seen such events and incidents repeatedly, which confirm the notion of history repeating itself. Many such events exist in contemporary world history and are still alive.
Ahmad Massood, the son and successor of Ahmad Shah Massood, occasionally appears on the media addresses of Afghanistan’s opponents and adversaries, making statements against the caretaker government. From his appearances and statements, it seems that the West and Afghanistan’s enemies want to create another hero(!) and Ahmad Shah Massood from Ahmad Massood.
The reason for making Ahmad Massood a hero is that with the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan, the artificial heroism and name of Ahmad Shah Massood have been tarnished and thrown into the dustbin of history.
The West wants to implant such a figure in the minds of the people of present-day Afghanistan, diverting their thoughts away from the country and the caretaker government. In such sensitive situations, the West’s sinister plans are implemented with the aim of disrupting stability, progress, unity, and psychological security in the country, but achieving these sinister goals has become almost impossible.
On the other hand, the West has made a poor choice in its plans, as it has selected someone for the role of hero who is much weaker and lacks political awareness compared to his father. Ahmad Massood has spent his entire life outside the country, and therefore, he is not aware of the thoughts and feelings of his people and society.
Ahmad Massood, due to his inappropriate qualities, has become a source of distrust and disagreements among the leaders of the Jamiat, Shura-ye Nazar, and the fallen Republic. He has made efforts for reconciliation with them, but has failed every time. His attempt is solely to be recognized as a leader and to be given the title of a hero(!).
Ahmad Massood often copies his father’s methods in his actions. Like his father, he has a limited and biased mindset; he dedicates his illegitimate war to a specific nation or geography and works towards achieving foreign sinister goals in the name of freedom(!). Through these copied actions, he wants to present himself as a hero.
Ahmad Massood sometimes claims to have taken over all of Afghanistan to attract people’s attention, but he himself denies the term Afghan and his supporters attribute the national identity to a specific tribe.
Considering all these factors, it can be said that some circles want to present Ahmad Massood’s false persona, including all these flaws, as a hero, a hero who has already become detested among the Afghan people and is in no way acceptable.
