America is Aiming to Expand the Afghan War

Recently, some media outlets reported that American forces want to install a modern defense system in Afghanistan. Apparently the aim of installing the missile defense system is to monitor and ensure the security for NATO and US troops in Kabul and Bagram base. A credible source at Kabul News TV said in this regard that the location chosen to install the defense system is Koh e Safi (Safi Mountain), of Parwan province. An agreement worth 50 million USD has also been signed with a private Afghan firm to clear the area from landmines.

Comment:

There is an absolute silence over the issue of the US installing a modern Missile Defense System on the mountains of Kabul and Parwan. Installing such a defense system indicates the regional ambitions and objectives of the US, which is mainly to monitor and contain the influence of China and Russia, as well as US being in complete control over the affairs of Afghanistan and not the “unity” government. In order to use the soil and mountains of Afghanistan unhindered, US is keeping the war hot, so that to divert people’s attention from its colonial strategic goals.

This is not the first time that US is violating the so called security agreement with the puppet Afghan “unity” government, rather contrary to the pacts, US military forces have again returned to the battlefield and have been shepherding attacks on civilians, on a daily basis. In addition, the US President Barak Obama has given new combat powers to the US and NATO Commander General Nicolson as well as the White House have decided to dispatch more troops to Afghanistan.

Therefore in the latest Warsaw meeting, America and NATO countries pledged to fund Afghan forces until 2020, which indicates the severity of the US war in Afghanistan. It also demonstrates that the US, NATO and the Afghan government have no intention to end the war and bring peace in the country, rather they only mislead public opinion by launching various so called peace processes.

Given these points, like in the past once again it should be evident to the Muslim and Mujahid people of Afghanistan that US and NATO are the occupying forces and therefore, the John Kerry installed government has no capability nor authority to rule, rather they only follow the dictates of America.

Moreover, the expansion of the US war in Afghanistan to North China, Russia and the Central Asian Republics have made their governments worried.  To counter this, China for instance, have organized a meeting between the military chiefs of China, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan in Urumqi and have signed agreement on the comprehensive cooperation and coordination under the guise of “terrorism”. This is the first regional effort from china against “terrorism” that points toward its deep concerns over the ongoing US war. Likewise, the five Central Asian countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan foreign ministers, with the efforts of John Kerry, are participating in C5+1 working group that is going to be held in Washington. It’s done so that they could help the efforts made by the US against “terrorism” both in the realm of military as well as diplomacy.

As we had already said that expecting peace and prosperity from the colonialists, asking for their help, having friendship with them and opting for the inherently corrupt and flawed Democracy rather than Islam are all those strictly forbidden actions that are reinforcing our miseries every single day.  Indeed, the only way of liberating the Ummah from the colonialist domination is the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah upon the method of the Prophethood, the righteous leadership of which will liberate Afghanistan as well as the entire Islamic land from the military, political, economic and social onslaught of the enemies.
