The Resistance Front, like before, is heading towards destruction this time as well. If we look at the structure aspect of this front, the same warlords and dark figures from the past are at its helm, figures who have long been a source of division for the Afghan nation. They have always fragmented among themselves for the sake of power and material gain, with stories of placing knives on each other’s necks and even secretive and mysterious murders having a historical background. There are specific reasons for the emergence of such situations, and it is important to clarify these reasons so that the younger generation and the nation are informed. The pursuit of material wealth and power can be considered the most prominent and important factor among the resistors.
The individuals gathered in the Resistance Front are the killers of the oppressed and innocent Afghans. History bears witness that they destroyed the country for material gain, displaced a large number of Afghans, plundered and looted national wealth, denied the words Afghan and Afghan identity, tore Kabul apart, and spilled rivers of blood in it. They committed these abominable acts for the sake of material gain.
The leaders and members of the Resistance Front are extremely thirsty for power and authority. As soon as they gain power and authority, they sacrifice everything else. Honor and dignity mean nothing to them in exchange for power. Selling the homeland, betrayal, and murder are their well-known actions in history. They fought Afghans for years under the names of ethnicity, race, and sect, and as a result, gained power and authority. They engaged in numerous disputes over power, exposing their differences both secretly and openly. They are so enamored and passionate about power and authority that they secretly killed prominent figures from their own groups, tribes, races, and sects to achieve it. The founders of the United Front/Alliance, who were based in the north, lost their lives in this struggle for power.
The remnants of this Front have revived their past history over the struggle for power. Continuing their past history, the series of their conflicts is forcefully ongoing. When Massoud was removed from the scene, most of the coalition’s power fell into the hands of Mohammad Qasim Fahim. Fahim had long dreamed of gaining power; this was his time to seize it, and he was quite enthusiastic, unaware that revenge would be taken on him. There’s a saying, “What you sow, you shall reap,” but he was intoxicated by power. It is said that Massoud’s family had become disillusioned with him because they observed that Fahim had monopolized power.
The situation changed. The competition among the warlords of the Northern Alliance over material wealth and power, which had started earlier, ended in a bitter conflict. They plotted to assassinate and eliminate each other, while they were United to outsiders issues. They were always at war over Islam, patriotism, and the Afghan identity, and later, the matter reached a climax with Fahim’s sudden death.
Faheem was killed, but its reason remains unknown. How and where!? Faheem’s sudden death was widely analyzed; some said he was eliminated by Masood’s family, others said Karzai did it, and some said the Americans did it. However, the most likely scenario is that he fell victim to internal conflicts. This person was permanently removed from the scene, and the seat of the coalition was handed over to Masood’s family, especially his brother and son, Ahmad Masood.
The same story is still unfolding among these warlords. Amrullah Saleh and Ahmad Massoud, the son of Massoud, are sharpening their knives against each other, driven by hunger for money, addiction to power, and hatred. They march towards each other’s death over material gains. Meanwhile, Sayyaf and Mohaqiq move between them like players, sometimes rushing to one country, sometimes to another, sharing their anti-national agendas and demanding actions from them.
As a conclusion, it can be said that the current resistance, which has gathered both old and new narrow-minded warlords in the name of material and power acquisition, has taken the path of resistance against the Afghan soil and people. Their foundation is built on divisions. They are the ones who have torn Kabul apart for the sake of power and material gain.
Even now, a conspiracy against the country under the guise of resistance is being orchestrated, with the sole aim of gaining material wealth and power. However, their differences have reached a peak, and plans to eliminate each other are being devised. Disputes over the money given by foreign intelligence have intensified, all of which are leading them towards fragmentation.
A key member of the Resistance Front, Mohammad Samir Andarabi, was removed from the scene in Iran due to internal conflicts. Analysts believe that he may have been killed by his close associates, as tensions have escalated among the resistance warlords recently, with divisions and splits occurring over the establishment of a new front by Amrullah Saleh.
