The United Front, led by Sami Sadat, which conducts political activities outside the country in the United States, is organizing a meeting of former Afghan and American military personnel on August 15th. At this meeting, they will discuss a number of propaganda issues, aiming to attract the attention and gain the support of the current US administration by raising these points.
This meeting was attended by a number of low-ranking military personnel from the fallen republic’s army, intelligence, and security sectors, as well as former US intelligence officials, policymakers, and none influential figures, who spoke on various issues. They discussed the human rights situation in Afghanistan, as well as freedom (!). They discuss the procedures and internal affairs of Afghanistan.
The United Front, which has been active in the United States for four years, has brought together several fame-seeking military figures under its leadership. Raising propaganda discussions thru the Front’s platform, it is constantly trying to attract Trump’s attention and call for comprehensive assistance for the re-military conquest of Afghanistan. They openly allow foreigners to interfere in the country’s internal affairs as always and then make the country a victim of invasion again.
The meetings of the United Front itself are ineffective for several reasons; first: the international community is currently working to strengthen regional stability and peace thru its policies, not to prepare proxy fighters. Because war and violence are not currently beneficial for them or for Afghanistan.
Second: At the mentioned meeting, these same Afghan military figures were facing complete failure on the battlefield in Afghanistan, including their leaders and colleagues, who were players in weakening and dismantling the security institutions of the Republic. These same star-studded generals, colonels, and lower-ranking military personnel didn’t even protect the city of Kabul on the day of the fall but instead turned to flee to the Kabul airport.
Third: The United Front does not have support within the country because the leadership of this front has lost the trust of the general public and even their own supporters by giving false slogans. The leader of this front, Sami Sadat, has been peddling false slogans about starting military operations in Afghanistan for the past four years, but despite his best efforts, he has been unable to succeed.
Fourth: The internal weakness of the front and management failure is a very prominent and obvious reason, which has caused this front to become less visible and isolated on the political stage. Like other fronts, the United Front is also a political group of several personal friends of Sami Sadat, which has neither a strong team nor basic management.
Beside the mentioned reasons, there are also other reasons and causes that make such political gatherings of the United Front ineffective, and they are nothing more than a repeated call for support to the world. In the past, the United Front also held a meeting for them in America. At that time, there was nothing but false and misleading propaganda against Afghanistan, and it did not bring any significant achievements for the front.
