In a two-day meeting set for Al-Khor Doha on May 2nd and 3rd, representatives from Afghanistan’s High Peace Council, Taliban, Hizb-e-Islami and mediators from international peace initiators Pugwash, discussed about their perspective on political matters, especially that related to peace in Afghanistan and the cease fire. However at the end, Taliban did not accept the stay of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. According to Reuter News Agency, one of the Taliban’s representative said that the negotiation ended without any result but one thing that we agreed on is that both the parties will be meeting at UAE in the coming month.
Comment:
Though according to the officials of the Qatar government, this gathering was to bring together different parties of the dispute and to reduce the differences they have with regards to peace in Afghanistan and how to achieve it, but the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan should understand that a country that has foreign colonialist invaders on its land and are in charge of almost all the affairs of that land, talking about peace is nothing but a lie, as peace and stability could only be achieved when the colonialist invasion is reversed and eradicated completely.
The Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah’s “National Unity” government orchestrated by John Kerry, from its very first day on the dictates of U.S. is doing all its efforts for the so called regional peace. Ghani visited KSA, China, Pakistan and India for the same purpose. Likewise, the head of Taliban, Mulah Omar also gave a tacit permission for peace talks as well and as a response the US omitted Taliban from the terrorist list. However, when it comes to the violence, both the camps, government and Taliban, have amplified its attacks and committed inhuman acts against each other.
If we analyze the propagation of the so-called peace talks and the ruthless and unprecedented killings on both sides, we can safely say that this peace process is just to betray the people of Afghanistan as this whole peace process is designed by the colonialists to basically Afghanize the process and convince them that this is indeed an honest effort to bring peace to the country. What the enemy has achieved from all this is that they have turned the security forces of the government against the Taliban, both killing each other without any damage to the real enemy of the Muslims of Afghanistan. Peace for them would mean the surrender of the armed resistance against the U.S. and NATO forces and shifting the entire conflict to Afghans on both sides. Hence the fighting will continue with full swing, the only change that will come is that both sides would be the Muslims of Afghanistan.
According to Reuters, the representative of Taliban, on the condition of anonymity, said that President Ghani and his uncle Qayum Kochi asked us to stop fighting and announce ceasefire. He also added that they called us brothers and asked us to return to the mainstream and accept the constitution of Afghanistan. This is exactly what the US wants. But the Taliban’s representative said that they did not agree to it and said that they will continue fighting till the last foreign Army man is here. According to him, the government’s argument was that once you stop fighting, the remaining Army that is here for training purposes will also leave as the U.S. combat forces have already left. The National Peace Council also asked Taliban to negotiate directly with the Afghan government to end the crises in Afghanistan.
America, to achieve its regional objectives, has signed a strategic security pact with Afghanistan and therefore, will stay here for a long time using its bases in Afghanistan to spread its influence over the region. US proved to the government created by John Kerry that if they don’t want the Afghan government may not continue for long. That’s why Taliban too don’t regard Afghan government worthy to talk directly to and are trying to negotiate straight with the U.S. about ending the invasion and establishing peace. Therefore, even in these peace talks, the Taliban said it is only an open discussion and rejected that these meetings have anything to do with peace talks.
In addition to this, the US and its puppet regime in Afghanistan are trying to break the influence of Taliban by introducing ISIS in Afghanistan using its propaganda of TV channels to show it big. We see that after every incident, before Taliban or ISIS accept or reject it, government put their blame on ISIS, so far so that Mr. Ghani even in all his visits and speeches is making ISIS a great threat to Afghanistan and confirms its presence in Afghanistan. Also the government is trying to create a scenario through constant propaganda in order to turn ISIS against Taliban, even by using bogus Fatawas for this.
Lastly, all sides that are involved in the infighting should concentrate on their real enemies and the invader. They should join their hands to fight against the foreign forces rather than killing each other. In addition that they should work for the fundamental change in the Islamic world, which is the re-establishment of the Islamic Khilafah on the method of Prophethood. This will not only liberate Afghanistan from the shackles of tyranny and oppression but for the entire Ummah.
