It seems improbable that throughout history, there has never been a government or system in the region, neighborhood, or even globally that has satisfied all people, as such a form of governance is impossible. Thoughts and viewpoints have always been diverse and varied; each individual, based on their desires, status, and responsibilities, has demands from the rulers that it is impossible to fulfill all of them.
Nevertheless, Afghanistan has a long history of governmental changes, and in recent decades, the main factors behind these changes have been the influx of foreign ideas and sometimes internal oppressions.
In the past two decades, power struggles, corruption, and many other challenges created conditions that allowed the faithful and Mujahid people of Afghanistan to overthrow the current government in just eleven days and force the officials to leave the country.
With more than three years of Taliban rule, their opposing factions have widely failed and surrendered in all areas. Now these factions have turned to spreading lies and rumors against the Taliban government.
These groups, whose core is based in foreign countries, systematically make claims of attacks and movements against the Taliban every day. However, there is no independent verification from the Afghan people, international war monitoring agencies, impartial global organizations, or media outlets adhering to journalistic principles regarding these attacks.
Not only are these attacks unconfirmed, but so far there is no evidence that these groups have even controlled an inch of Afghan territory or have engaged in any form of organized combat.
Anti-Taliban factions are daily promoting their unsuccessful attacks. These advertisements are solely aimed at disrupting the unprecedented security, garnering support from foreign countries to incite rebellions, and preventing progress and attracting foreign investments.
Currently, their projects have mainly taken on a promotional aspect, as after their field defeats, all their efforts have been limited to media and promotional activities. They are trying to hide their weaknesses, shortcomings, and political and military differences, which have become clearly evident in the past three years, through this path.
Simultaneously, another effort by anti-Taliban groups is to link attacks carried out by other groups in neighboring countries and the region to Afghanistan by spreading rumors.
By spreading these rumors, they want to show the region and the world that Afghanistan under Taliban control has become a safe haven for terrorist groups in the region, and that there is a need for support from the group of evil and corruption against these groups.
Through rumors, anti-Taliban factions also try to squander the financial resources received from their masters, which are allocated to destabilize Afghanistan and advance foreign agendas, by making false claims of attacks and creating media uproars.
These groups also pursue another goal by spreading rumors. Occasionally, they publish news about the killing of former government soldiers, the same soldiers whose back pay was even paid by the Taliban, even though they fought against the Taliban in their time.
More than three years have passed since the insurgents started spreading rumors against the Taliban. If only 10 percent of these rumors were true, these groups should have already engaged in frontline battles and taken control of territories.
The people of Afghanistan have well understood the reality of these insurgents, movements, and other fictitious groups. These groups not only do not seek a united, strong, central, and independent government in Afghanistan, but they also do not want the people of this land to continue their lives in peace and security.
