History has consistently proven that wars with legitimate, clear, and noble objectives ultimately lead to success. Conversely, conflicts driven solely by power, fame, or foreign agendas tend to harm national interests and result in widespread civilian casualties.
Today, Afghanistan faces such a predicament. Groups operating under banners like “Resistance” and similar others claim to uphold Islam, national values, and freedom. However, their foundations and histories contradict these ideals. Many align with foreign powers harboring long-term detrimental plans for Afghanistan Ahmad Massoud, who has lived and studied in countries like France, Iran and other countries, enjoys political and financial security abroad. From these safe havens, he encourages Afghan youth to engage in conflict.
Meanwhile, the public must recognize that his family and supporters lead comfortable lives overseas, with their children pursuing education and business ventures in Europe. In contrast, ordinary Afghans are mobilized under various slogans to serve foreign interests, becoming entangled in internal strife.
It’s unjust that foreign-aligned operatives live luxuriously abroad while manipulating uneducated and impoverished citizens with misleading promises, sacrificing them for external agendas.
Individuals seeking political, fame-related, or financial gains often collaborate with foreign intelligence agencies. Their primary goal is to maintain power and expand their patrons’ influence. They deceive the public with notions of sacrifice and freedom, subtly recruiting followers to advance their malicious objectives.
This duplicity and hypocrisy is evident in leaders of fragmented groups who, after years abroad, returned during the U.S. and NATO invasions, only to flee again upon their withdrawal. Yet, they continue to live under foreign protection, urging the populace to make sacrifices under the guise of “freedom.”
Their hypocrisy and duplicity is further highlighted by their public Islamic and nationalistic rhetoric, while privately engaging with agencies like MI6, CIA, and ISI to discuss future plans and funding, turning the nation’s plight into a business opportunity.
Had they been truly committed to Islamic and national interests, they wouldn’t have served foreign powers for decades. They would have empathized with their people’s suffering and refrained from manipulating public sentiments for personal political gain or dragging the nation into aimless wars.
The public must recognize that opposition groups to the interim government are knocking on the doors of foreign embassies and intelligence agencies, furthering the destruction of their homeland.
