In just nine days, the whole country went from one hand to the other, and now there are sixteen days or sixteen hours left for the last American soldier to leave? No statistics are working. The rotation of the stars is so fast that this column will get old as soon as it is hidden.
There was no war. But the wickets of the Afghan cricket team never flew so fast that 34 provinces flew. Now I don’t even have the courage to get up from the news desk and go to the washroom. Lest they come back light-hearted, they’ve cut the receipt for another amazing advance.
We have not yet seen Muhammad Shah, who is far from Delhi, under the control of the Nadir Shahi Sipah. However, I still saw Ashraf Ghani who was far from Kabul.
The Americans are also remembering the little Bush who repeatedly turned his hand on his head and said after 9/11 that now we will rid Afghanistan of terrorism and make it a beacon of prosperity, democracy and freedom.
In that cycle, two trillion dollars and two and a half thousand Western soldiers were sacrificed in 20 years, but the tail could not be straightened.
For the generation born after the fall of Saigan, the view of Kabul is present. I wish Zalmai Khalilzad would have handed over the valuable war toys to the Taliban along with the Doha agreement, which the Taliban are now using as a ride.
After the Soviet withdrawal, Najibullah’s army stood for three and a half years.
A soldier is willing to die for only two reasons. For ideology or for the homeland. The soldier stands as long as his commander stands.
When it is not a secret that the ruling class and their commanders want to kill the soldier only so that their own corruption and nepotism and monkey distribution system will be safe, then how happy will the soldier be on his front.
The Afghan ruling class had a 20-year window to repair its country with trillions of dollars. For 19-and-a-half years, the window has been used to throw out bundles of dollars, and now the class itself is jumping out of the same window.
Taliban grabs control
This is how quickly the Taliban has moved – from holding pockets of power in early July – to taking over most of the country by mid-August:
As for the 40 million Afghans, they have experienced being trapped in a ditch behind a well for the last 40 years.
Those who are giving Afghanistan a decade to go back to the dark ages. These are the same people who, in the eighties and nineties, were patting the Mujahideen on the back in every possible way. He was convinced that the Pakist group that Washington, London, Riyadh and Islamabad had joined hands with would certainly be a more reasonable group than the pro-Soviet bad Muslims.
Of course, up to fifteen days ago, the likes of Hamid Karzai, Abdullah Abdullah, Rashid Dostum and Ashraf Ghani, etc. were also reasonable people, otherwise the moneylender America would not spend the earnings of its taxpayers on any other array.
But what happened? This did not even prove to be the elephant of Porus, who became a prisoner of war.
Today, everyone from the State Department spokesman to Biden is over-acting as if everything has been revealed today.
For the past ten years, American auditors have been shouting that there is a black hole in the pockets of the Afghan leadership. They are interested in Afghans, not Afghans. Afghanistan could become Dubai in half of the investment they made in the Gulf states. But the foolish got drunk.
Afghanistan has gone from tunnel to tunnel. During the last 40 years, the practical image of “Let there be no fear of theft, let me pray for the hostages” has gone from the hearts of Afghans to fear.
Now make a million noises that buffalo buffalo be careful, the thief will take you. So the buffalo also came back and said that you were just milking the tarkha on the fodder. The other will do the same.
If there is a ray of hope, it is that soon there will be a temporary silence. People will confine themselves to most homes but they will have homes. As for the wealthy elite, not only Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif but also Dubai, Istanbul, Toronto and Miami.
The third chubby generation with blonde hair and blue eyes is still picking up garbage in different cities of Pakistan. This creature is neither Afghan nor Pakistani. This is the cable edition of Manto’s Toba Tek Singh.
Now another thing has come out. War colleges, strategic studies institutes and think tanks will issue huge fellowships to investigate how the Taliban carried out such a fast-paced military plan. Self-made or imported from somewhere?
Also, what quality of recycled cardboard was used by the Afghan army and what tactical draftsman had developed its war strategy? I want to see this red bhajkar.
Ten years ago, a junior student commander told a Western journalist, “You have the clock and we have the time.”
Where will that student be today? I would like an autograph.
We are left So all we want is for Afghanistan not to become a base for the TTP, al-Qaeda and ISIS, and especially not to export terrorism to the West.
As for the social, political and economic future of the next generation of Afghans, they should be happy in the shadow of the acacia. Just don’t bother us anymore.
