Expatriate anti-Afghan factions, opponents of the caretaker government, and various other groups, continuing their three-year-long conspiracies, are now trying to show foreigners and people within Afghanistan that the caretaker government is collapsing due to internal conflicts and chaos. They are fixated on this narrative and are presenting various hypotheses based on it.
According to this misguided assumption, they become so immersed in their dreams and virtual world that they envision themselves even ruling Afghanistan for the second time; living their desired life, governance, and affairs, and in this imaginary world and thoughts, many people accept their narrative, leaving the field open for their horse to gallop freely.
At first, they see everything through their own glasses and think that everything is fine and objective realities. They are themselves at the peak of the crisis, their internal conflicts and disputes have reached the highest levels, nothing remains among them or in them in the name of trust and confidence, they have fled the country, the people has rejected them, and foreigners have also lost their trust in them. They have become very disoriented with their lost status, running in every direction, but nothing is achieved, rather they are moving further towards decline and are practically on the brink of disintegration.
They think that this situation is the same within the country, but their hypothesis, or rather the basis of their hypotheses, is fundamentally incorrect. This is because the current authorities have, on one hand, granted people freedom and brought them peace, freeing them from the oppression and injustices of tyrants, warlords, and local chieftains. On the other hand, they have removed the traps of hatred, prejudice, suspicion, enmity, division, grudges, and recklessness from the homeland, which the previous rulers had set, ensnaring the people in multiple snares and taking away every kind of comfort and tranquility from their lives.
Another point is that they argue that the current caretaker government should be dissolved, so that, in their belief, everything will be fine and Afghanistan will flourish. They try to instill this incorrect mindset in the general public and foreigners as well, but they do not understand that the general public here has tasted the bitterness of foreign regimes, internal chaos, lawlessness, feudalism, and the fragmentation of power, and they never want to experience the longing for the return of that time again. They saw what happened to them in the absence of a strong central government and the presence of factions, parties, and the fragmentation of power. They remember everything, that neither their property, nor their life, nor their honor, nor their dignity was safe.
The people also saw what was happening under the imposed and forced systems by foreigners, how their values were mocked, how many bombs were dropped for demanding freedom, how much torture was endured for speaking the truth, how many were imprisoned and how many were executed. They are well aware of who ruled over them and for what purpose under the imposed systems by foreigners and how much they were aware of the people’s pain.
They must first correct their hypothesis, they must not look at Afghanistan and its current situation through their own lenses, they must not think that the people will be deceived again by such simplistic words and lies. The people have emerged from many of the era’s misfortunes and are now aware of everything. The people now understand how high the price of this freedom and independence is and how sweet its fruit is, so they do not want to be deceived again by the past slogans and lies of a few foreign agents and those loyal to foreign interests. The people are now ready to defend the existing system, freedom, prosperity and comfort.
