With the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, several groups of evil and corruption began their activities. These groups, which were formed by certain politicians and military leaders during the fallen republic in Afghanistan, openly chant against the Taliban, but in reality, they have been activated to destabilize Afghanistan. The leaders of these groups were deeply involved in widespread corruption during their rule and acted as puppets of foreign invaders.
These groups conducted military resistance in some mountainous areas of Panjshir and Andarab in the late 1400s AH and the early days of the Islamic Emirate’s rule. However, after being suppressed by the Afghan government, a small part fled to Tajikistan, while the rest went to Europe and America, where they engage in media activities to create chaos and corruption in Afghanistan and spread rumors.
The activities of the groups of evil and corruption were significant in the beginning. Their so-called resistance was a hot topic in the international media at that time. Some of the people of Panjshir, who opposed the Taliban due to their false propaganda of evil and corruption, stood against evil and corruption, which was considered their internal support. When the Taliban took control of the entire country and called upon every citizen to serve without distinction, public perception of the Taliban changed, and they distanced themselves from corruption and vice. With this, the internal support for corruption and evil dropped to zero, and they became widely known among Afghans as the creators of corruption and evil.
Political movements generally progress when they either have strong internal support or benefit from extensive external backing. We previously mentioned the internal support for the groups of evil and corruption, which is now at zero level. But on an international level, there is also no extensive and strong support for evil and corruption. Tajikistan, the United States, France, and some European Union countries were considered external supporters of evil and corruption, but the cessation of their activities clearly indicates that they have lost external support; this may be due to their distrust of them.
Jonathan Schroden, the program director for countering threats and challenges at a non-profit organization focused on research and analysis, has also commented on this matter. According to him, unlike the 1990s when Russia, Iran, India, and other countries supported the Northern Alliance, no country has supported these groups so far, which can be considered a clear reason for their isolation.
The widespread differences among the groups of evil and corruption, which have recently reached a high point, are considered another reason for their isolation. The groups of evil and corruption foster disagreements with each other over ethnic, regional, religious, and linguistic issues. Most of their disagreements have persisted since the time of the Republic. At that time, the increase in political parties had caused them to oppose each other, and those same disagreements still remain.
In conclusion, it can be said that the loss of internal and international support, internal conflicts, and lack of coordination have led the group of evil and corruption towards isolation.
