Sami Sadaat, the leader of the opposition group known as the United Front, based abroad and pro-American general, has become a figure of ridicule among social media users due to his unstable, illusory, and wobbly promises and positions. Every day, people mock him and criticize him for the unfulfilled promises and grand pledges of the past. Like other leaders of groups and factions based abroad, Sami Sadaat supports the continuation of the war in Afghanistan, the shedding of Afghan blood, and the implementation of foreign plans and agendas.
From the very first days of the group’s activities abroad, he knocked on the doors of many intelligence agencies, criminal networks, human trafficking gangs, and other notorious groups, seeking donations and funds to start the war in Afghanistan. He also established connections with those American criminal soldiers and generals who, alongside Sami Sadaat and other foreign-affiliated generals and colonels, shed the blood of hundreds and even thousands of innocent Afghans in the country, brutally and mercilessly martyring some, torturing others in prisons, and disappearing some.
Sami Sadaat called on his supporters nearly two years ago to engage in sports and promised them that he would also go to Afghanistan soon to fight together. However, many social media users and even Sadaat’s supporters are now mocking and taunting him, saying that we are tired from sports, but we still don’t know what happened to your situation. Sami Sadat also lobbied heavily during the current U.S. President Trump’s election campaign made grand promises and boasts that if Trump became president, Americans would support him again, and the war in Afghanistan would resume. However, nearly two months have passed since Trump’s presidency, and Sami Sadaat is still making empty boasts. His supporters and followers are now calling him out and challenging him, asking what happened to those grand and bold promises!
In a recent case, he has made many contradictory statements in an online space, denying his previous promises and statements. Once he says that Afghanistan will be taken from the Taliban with the support of the US and foreign friends, and other times, he says that he cannot trust foreigners. He has made many similar contradictory and inconsistent remarks. He has also made false and grand promises to the people, claiming that with their presence, Afghanistan will flourish, its economy will prosper, and Afghanistan will become a strong country in the region and the world. He reveals differences with other factions and groups and generally makes chaotic, irrelevant, fanciful, and unrealistic statements.
What is interesting is that he has become disillusioned with the aid from the US and other foreign donors, claiming that the war in Afghanistan will, in his words, be supported by the Afghans, and that foreigners can only provide money and logistical support. People are now mocking his unstable, insecure, and delusional stance, calling him an unstable person. Interestingly, he is still confident that Afghans will support the implementation of foreign projects, the same Afghans whom he, along with the Americans and British, committed countless atrocities against, the same Afghans whose homes were shelled by Sadat and his American and British allies, whose children were martyred in front of their families, who were raided at night, whose innocent people were sent to prisons, and many other atrocities committed against them.
Sami Sadaat must realize that he no longer has any reputation or status abroad, nor does he have any standing within Afghanistan. The people in Afghanistan remember all his deeds and crimes; they have not forgotten them, and they will never be deceived by Sadaat and his friends’ false promises and empty words. Similarly, his other American and British allies have learned such a lesson in Afghanistan that they can no longer even dream of it out of fear. The new donors have also lost faith in him, and he has no place left. Now, Sadaat has become a subject of mockery and ridicule for the people and Afghans, and they mock him for his imaginary promises, lies, and unstable positions.
