Afghanistan has been a battlefield and occupied for several decades, which has caused the country to lag behind on the way to prosperity and progress. In the meantime, the role of the occupiers and their mercenaries in holding back the caravan of progress and the blatant looting and plundering of natural and national resources has been very prominent and painful.
The previous government of Afghanistan, with the presence of autocratic, corrupt, and thieving individuals, was a failed and ineffective government; it had infiltrated Afghanistan like a cancerous tumor, growing deeper every day, weakening the country’s capabilities, and debilitating its organs.
In addition to all of this, the systematic and planned promotion of prostitution and corruption for the religious and cultural deviation of young people, both girls and boys, by suspicious institutions and organizations under various names and with government permits, is pushing people to the brink of disaster. This process was stripping the golden cloak of Islam and religion from the people’s bodies, exposing them to the world and the nation, and distancing them from their authenticity.
These very factors necessitated a change in Afghanistan and the emergence of a government from the people, with benevolent and compassionate individuals who had no illusory or personal connection or dependence on the occupying forces’ leaders.
The new government of Afghanistan, thru years of resistance against occupation and defeating the enemy on the battlefield and in the media, was able to establish an Islamic and progressive system in the country and save Afghanistan from deviation and corruption in the political, economic, and social sectors, returning it to the straight path and its main goal, which is prosperity, progress, and development.
In just four years, the new Afghan government has been able to implement many important infrastructure projects across the country and in the provinces. It has also achieved successes in beneficial interactions with neighboring countries and the world, where Afghanistan’s interests are guaranteed and exchanges are based on mutual benefit, unlike the previous government, which granted special and unguaranteed privileges.
If we don’t ignore reality, there was no such thing as a “central government” in the previous regime, one based on a sound decision-making system where all employes were in complete obedience. Therefore, by establishing relations with certain countries and sacrificing a portion of national interests to gain special trust for their own benefit, each official had effectively divided the country into several pieces and sold it based on an unwritten agreement.
However, the new government of Afghanistan is not doing this. With complete transparency, it is spending all the revenue and profits from national and international transactions on the country’s development, and the sweet scent of positive changes is wafting thru the nation.
Therefore, the fact that fugitive opponents and those deprived of the looting and plundering of national assets are presenting the new government of Afghanistan as an inefficient military government and, without evidence or reason, consider it harmful to the country’s future is baseless and untrue. People of fairness and justice can easily distinguish right from wrong and white from black.
If there is a little fairness in the heart and truthfulness in the eye, it can be seen that in this four-year period, despite Afghanistan not yet being recognized, deprived of international aid, and instead under sanctions, it has been able to successfully overcome economic and political crises. Even in dealing with natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, everyone has extended a helping hand to the affected, and complete care has been provided to the extent of the country’s capabilities.
Therefore, all the false, distorted, and biased claims of the opposition, aimed at whitewashing their image and clearing the black record of twenty years of republican and occupation rule, are baseless and fear-mongering and will not find a way to win the hearts of the people to consolidate their position.
