On 25th June 2015, it was reported that heavy clashes between Afghan security forces and armed opposition groups in Afghanistan‘s northeastern Kunduz Province resulted in a surge in wounded patients arriving at the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) trauma center in Kunduz city. From June 20 to 23, MSF medical teams treated 77 patients directly wounded in the fighting, one-third of whom were women or children. The majority of wounded patients admitted to the trauma center came from Chardara District, around six miles from Kunduz city, which has been engulfed in fighting since June 20. The bulk of patients had sustained bomb blast or gunshot wounds, with MSF surgeons treating severe abdominal, limb, and head injuries. Active fighting has decreased since Wednesday, but the situation remains tense. (source: doctorswithoutborders.org)
Comment:
Since 2001 more than 26,000 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan only due to the ongoing war of terror, while more than 29,900 civilians have been wounded, according to Crawford, Neta (22 May 2015). “War-related Death, Injury, and Displacement in Afghanistan and Pakistan 2001-2014”. Costs of War (Brown University). Retrieved 23 June 2015. Most of those suffering are innocent women and children who are being indiscriminately killed, wounded and fired at by the NATO and US forces occupying the Afghan territory. Their attitude towards the Afghan people is not different to that of Halagu Khan or Chingez Khan towards their enemies in their occupied lands, whom they happily killed and boasted about. The only difference is that these Capitalist warmongers sly fully wrap their evil deeds by the deceptive slogans of freedoms, equalities, and women’s rights and women empowerment. While none of these slogans has so far been able to ease the endless sufferings of Afghan women in any way, the western politicians and leaders still shamelessly use them as a justification for brutal war they have imposed on Afghanistan. The situation in neighboring Pakistan is no less different where more than 50,000 Pakistani civilians and Army personnel have lost their lives since 2001. All this due to this unreasonable and unjustified war, whose sole aim is to destabilize the whole region and stop the real resisting forces against the occupying American and allied armies.
The only solution to the current situation is to expel the occupying Armies out of the region and establish Khilafah Rashidah the second on the method of Prophethood ﷺ. This way the women and children along with all the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan will find the peace and security, they have longed for since many decades. As the Muslims lived under the glorious Khliafah for centuries in a condition, where their lives, properties and honor was safeguarded by the state, while their basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, education and health facilities were guaranteed and provided. This is the ideal situation for Muslim women of Afghanistan, and this is what they demand of their rulers and ask of their Muslim Armies, to give Nusrah i.e. the material support to establish Khilafah Rashidah under the leadership of the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, Ata bin Khalil Abu Rashtah.
This is the responsibility of Muslim armies to rescue the Afghan women and children and help them, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in Holy Quran:
وَمَا لَكُمۡ لَا تُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلۡوِلۡدَٲنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهۡلُهَا وَٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّ۬ا وَٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
“And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill–treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.”
