Computerization:
Our world is moving from pre-modernization to modernity and reaching
towards post-modernization values. It is very obvious
that the 21st century – the age of technology and modernization - has given us
new hopes, outlooks and directions. Advances in high sophisticated technology,
combined with free-market ideology, have given goods and services an
unparalleled mobility. This is a unique possibility for the younger generation
to take this golden opportunity to fulfill and
achieve their goals and dreams.
Mankind is trying to
explore other planets - they want to explore the secrets of the heavens and
earth. It is indicated very clearly that the world is moving swiftly to
discover newfound glories. This is all about developed countries that are
enjoying democracy, social justice, freedom of speech, media and so on. But
come to my ill-fated country (Afghanistan) and see hell on earth!
Talibization:
As mentioned earlier, our world is steadily
moving toward advancement and betterment. But when Afghanistan
seems to be constantly and persistently moving in the opposite direction! For
more details you can read the history or ask chief (Khan) of Qabela (godfather of tribe).
I was watching the news on BBC, when a
particular item caught my attention—the proposal to create a Department for the
Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. At first, it did not surprise me at
all, but when I heard the rest of the news I found it extremely disappointing
and sad. Our people have been waiting with a great deal of hope since the
collapse of Taliban to see their country become a prosperous, democratic,
civilized nation, especially for its new generation. But unfortunately, our
president—with his tribal perception—is trying to create an out-dated,
ill-religious police system for promoting a system which is called "Amer Bal Mahrof
Nah az Monker." This
failed system was already promoted and implemented once in Afghanistan by
the savage and barbaric regime of Taliban. And not surprisingly,
it was unsuccessful and the result was dissatisfactory. So, how can they
expect it to work today?
There
are a series of questions I would like to ask our fake president Karzai Khan: "Where is your promise to our new
generation that you will bring democratic process? Where is the social justice
system? Where is the professional police enforcement? What is the difference
between your mentality and Mullah Sahib Omar? How much longer do you want our
people to suffer? How much longer will they be slaves of your close ally
Pakistan?
What happened to your other numerous promises?" Creating a religious
regime and a Taliban style police force is a crime against our country! It is a
complete destruction of the democratic process and the future of the young
generation. How can he not realize this?
Grave
concern of Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC)
The Independent Human Rights Commission states:
"an Afghan government decision to recreate the notorious Department for
the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has raised grave concerns among
human rights groups. The government announced plans last week to re-establish
the vice and virtues department, but said it would not return to the hard-line
ruling enforced by the Taliban. Until the Taliban's five-year rule was ended by
the US-led coalition in late 2001, the virtue and vice ministry enforced
numerous restrictions. Men were instructed to grow beards and women were forced
to wear all-covering burqas, while girls' schools,
television and gambling were banned. Even kite-flying was considered a crime.
Those who had violated the rules faced imprisonment and public beating s."{1}
The New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW) had
earlier raised serious concerns about the return of the vice and virtue
department and called on the international community to make a clear commitment
to Afghanistan's long-term security and reconstruction, and to avoid a return
to repressive past practices.
"Reinstatement of this controversial department risks
moving the discussion away from the vital security and human rights
problems now engulfing the country," said Zama Coursen-Neff, a senior HRW researcher.
"Re-installment of the Department of Vice
and Virtue with no clear terms of reference yet is a matter of concern for
us," Ahmad Nader Nadery,
spokesman of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), told IRIN
in Kabul.
"A similar department under the Taliban regime was a tool to interfere in
the privacy of life of every individual to suppress the citizens and to limit
all rights and freedoms of people," he said.
According to the Ministry of Pilgrimage and
Religious Affairs, the new department will mainly focus on alcohol, drugs,
crime and corruption. Meanwhile, many Afghanistani
organizations expressed their anger and concerns about new Taliban-esque police forces. They are completely against this
fruitless project!
I am surprised that this government seems to be
playing dirty games with the Afghanistani people. The
government is deceiving the citizens with their wrong and unclear policies.
Creating a religious police for prevention of corruption, drugs, crime, alcohol
and prostitutions? This is virtually an irrational and unacceptable statement!
It is absolutely baseless, meaningless, and an entirely wrong notion! We must,
as a civilized nation, move forward not backward!
Afghanistan a failed state:
Failed states can no longer perform basic
functions such as education, security, or governance, usually due to fractious
violence or extreme poverty. Within this power vacuum, people fall victim to
competing factions and crime, and sometimes the United Nations or neighbouring
states intervene to prevent a humanitarian disaster. However, states fail not
only because of internal factors. Foreign governments can also knowingly
destabilize a state by fuelling ethnic warfare or supporting rebel forces,
causing it to collapse. {2}
Look at the weakness and misery of this regime. Mullah
Mohammad Omar is the biggest blood-sucking criminal on the face of the earth.
He is responsible for the innumerable murdered, tortured, Diaspora Tajak, Hazara, and Uzbek
civilians during his fascist regime! How is it that Karzai
can request him to join the current government? Is this not a dirty game?
Is this not a crime? Is this not a failed and corrupt government?
President Hamid Karzai invited Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar to
contact his government to seek reconciliation, but he has said that he does not
expect the fugitive to come out of hiding. "We would like all the Afghans,
Taliban or non-Taliban, whoever they are, if they want to come back to their
country, to participate in the life of this country, it's their home, they're
welcome," Karzai said in an exclusive interview
with The Associated Press. Asked if his offer included Omar, Karzai said, "If he wants to come, he should get in
touch with us."{3}
This of course indicates a failed state. Although Karzai strongly believes that the Taliban are the
blood-suckers of Afghanistan who have the intentions of ruining the country
with the aid of terrorism and Al-Qaida—despite this
belief, Karzai's tribal government still begs Taliban
for their participation and collaboration. How can the enemies of
civilization contribute and participate in a functioning community? There
is no logic behind it.
The Washington Post states: "WASHINGTON (AP) — despite large-scale U.S.
support, Iraq and Afghanistan
rank among the world's 10 most vulnerable states, according to a private survey
being released Tuesday. According to the review, the situation in Iraq (No. 4) and Afghanistan (No. 10) deteriorated
since 2005, the first year the survey was taken n."{4}
'Airlines terror plot' In UK.
A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on
an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is
thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on
to as many as 10 aircraft. Police are searching premises after 21 people were
arrested. Home Secretary John Reid said they believed the "main
players" were accounted for. All the blood shedders were British Pakistani
origins. {5}
As I read in these English news papers :Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror ,Daily Star ,Daily Telegraph ,Financial ,Times ,Guardian, Independent,, Morning Star Sun ,Times ,Washington
Post, Fox, Sky, Al-Jaziera as well as on
internets about the plot to blow up planes in UK .As the British government
bombarding the Pakistani government based Al-Qeda
location for such as “mass murder on an unimaginable scale”, Pakistan already
announced it’s support to FBI and M15 .But amazingly the official Pakistani
government linked this atrocity and plot to Afghanistan Al-Qaida
bases. It shows clearly to public opinion around the world that Pakistan does
not have any terrorists. All who are terrorizing are from Afghanistan.
As the news states ….In Pakistan,
officials said they had detained a “key person” in the case, adding they had
arrested five Pakistanis and two Britons in the case, including British
national Rashid Rauf. He was arrested about a week
ago and described as a “key person” with ties to al-Qaida
in Afghanistan-Pakistan border. {6}
“We arrested him in the
(Afghanistan-Pakistan) border area and on his disclosure, we shared the
information with British authorities, which led to further arrests in Britain,”
Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao
said. {7}
Additionally, another newspaper from ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
–states...” Lashkar fighters in the past were trained in camps in
Afghanistan and have joined terror attacks sanctioned by al-Qaida,
including the December 2003 bombings targeting Musharraf,
that he escaped unhurt but killed 17 others”.{8}
Another Pakistani news agency states…The ministry named Rauf in a statement
late Friday, saying he was a "key person" and adding that there were
"indications of Afghanistan-based Al-Qaeda connection" to his case.{9}
I want honestly ask my president Karzi Khan or foreign affairs .Why you are not responding
frankly and loudly to the world population
and Interior Minster Aftab Khan Sherpao that our country is suffering from these blood
sucking creatures. Afghanistan
is no longer manufacturing terrorist .It is Pakistan which has a high
qualification in terrorist activities. Why our country is living in silence??
Conclusion:
As far as we understand, Mr. Karzia's government (tribal state) did not perform a great
job in the past five years, despite billions of dollars in international aid
from the international community. Just where, when, how and to whom was
all that money spent? Afghanistan
and its people need answer. Obviously, Afghanistan is completely a failed
state! Instead of bringing about improvement, social justice, law and
order, peace and prosperity to our people, the government is adding another
misery – Promotion of Vice and Prevention of Virtue.
