For several days now, the Pakistani military regime has been invading the sacred soil of Afghanistan, bombing innocent civilians, firing blind bullets, and violating Afghanistan’s territorial integrity against all principles. The brave Afghan forces, in a valiant defense of the homeland, have sent drones into the heart of Islamabad, the capital of this cowardly enemy. They have not turned their guns on the mercenary soldiers at the front lines, descended upon every stronghold like swallows, and forced the army of the time’s Abraha to flee.
In such a historic trial where struggles for the country’s territorial integrity are ongoing, numerous first-degree officials of the Republic’s joint-stock company, who for two decades have only choked the country in the name of challenge and deceived the people in the same name, have adopted a deep silence over enemy attacks. This silence is not just indifference, but a venomous strike against the trust of that part of the nation that has accepted these players of foreign intelligence interests as the rulers of the country.
Ashraf Ghani, Hamdullah Mohib, the ministers of the cabinet, dozens of advisors, and other officials who were yesterday shouting false slogans of patriotism, where are they today? They, who swore to defend the homeland within the walls of the Arg, are now sitting in luxurious palaces in foreign countries, watching the invasion of their homeland’s territory. Their silence reveals that their politics of yesterday and today were only for power and personal gain. Those politicians who remain silent under the pretext of prudence during foreign aggression against their country are, in reality, colluding with the aggressors.
Atta Muhammad Noor, Salahuddin Rabbani, Abdul Rashid Dostum, Yunus Qanuni, Ahmad Massoud, Ahmad Wali Massoud, and others who are currently members of various coalitions under different names, have always raised the banner of resistance against Pakistan. But why are they sitting silently like the dead today? Aren’t these the same people who considered themselves the sole owners of the country? Their hypocritical policy confirms suspicions that either they have interests and hidden investments in Pakistan or they still hope for opportunities from the malicious neighbor’s intelligence agencies. They have hopes for their organizational and personal interests instead of Afghanistan.
Hundreds of former members of the Parliament and the House of Representatives, who received privileges in the name of law and national sovereignty for twenty years, are now silent in the face of attacks on Afghanistan’s national sovereignty. They made it clear that their previous slogans were not for the country and the people, but for positions and personal interests. In such sensitive moments, “neutrality” actually means siding with the enemy and endorsing them.
History and the Afghan people will never forget their deep silence. The people of Afghanistan have now realized that the rulers of the fallen republic were only pursuing personal interests. Those who do not support the Afghan forces’ defense against Pakistan’s aggression today, regardless of their attire, are foreigners to this land. The names of these opportunistic and hypocritical politicians will be recorded in Afghanistan’s history among those who are complicit in foreign aggression against their own country.
