Afghanistan is one of the region’s countries moving fast toward stability and prosperity, and alongside that pace it’s also pursuing better governance and a balanced foreign policy, leaving tangible results behind it as it goes. But certain countries, particularly Afghanistan’s own neighbors, who throughout history have always tried to secure their own illegitimate gains through Afghanistan’s insecurity and instability, are, instead of supporting this progress and stability, trying to turn this positive situation negative, to once again make the oppressed Afghan people, who have only just caught their breath, victims of their interference and bad politics.
Unfortunately, Pakistan stands at the front of this group. This country’s military regime has neither mercy nor compassion for its own people and public, nor can it tolerate a settled, peaceful life for the Afghan people who have just come out of war, and that’s why it has tried to worsen the situation through its proxy mercenaries, its groups of evil and corruption, and its hired militias.
Here, of course, the finger of blame is first pointed at those Arbaki fighters, those groups of evil and corruption who fled the Islamic system, the so-called Afghans, asking why they’d rent out their own shoulders to carry someone else’s weapon, why they’d fall into the lap of the Pakistani army and the Punjabi regime just to destabilize their own country. But Pakistan too should understand this: when someone isn’t loyal to their own land, their own people, and their own values, they can’t protect anyone else’s values or interests either, they only get used as tools, misused, and then thrown into the trash bin along with the rest of the old plans once they’ve served their purpose.
The groups of evil and corruption, the Republic’s corrupt soldiers, and the military regime’s mercenaries, even during the Republic’s time, always loudly claim that they stand for stability, justice, and national dignity, while calling the Taliban and the Islamic Emirate’s military fronts slaves or puppets of the ISI and Pakistan. But the recent transformation and victory proved that the current rulers and system are made from this country’s own true sons, while those who shouted loudest about their enmity toward the Pakistani regime were the first ones to fly straight to Islamabad and their own masters on Pakistani airline flights.
Such injustice was done to them that even their own masters wouldn’t give them a place in Islamabad or anywhere else, so off they went to America and Europe instead, to go check on the dollars and accounts they’d stashed away from the proceeds of their own corruption. In any case, the Pakistani regime has a long, dark record of exactly this kind of conduct, always training and using its proxy groups, mercenaries, against its neighbors. Recent reports and evidence show that right now, once again, it’s organizing and gathering Arbaki fighters, thieves, criminals, and other hired killers in Balochistan and other regions, to send them into Afghanistan in exchange for money and other incentives, and to invest in them there to worsen the situation and muddy the waters.
This wicked aim of Pakistan’s isn’t just meant to worsen Afghanistan’s situation, it’s also a harmful plan for the region as a whole, one the international community and the region’s countries need to pay close attention to, this political hypocrisy. Even so, the IEA has carried out its own responsibility with real courage and bravery, repeatedly bringing to justice the Pakistani military regime’s mercenaries sent along the route of the imaginary line, and hasn’t even let them reach the IEA’s own controlled territory, something social media and news reports on this have already documented. But how much longer will Afghanistan be sacrificed for the countries of the region and the world?
The countries of the region and the world need to unite against this hypocrisy and mischief from Pakistan, and make clear to the military regime that these wicked plans of theirs will end up affecting their own internal situation instead of Afghanistan’s, and will push the division among Pakistan’s own people and the insecurity in their own land into an even worse state than it already is. Those groups of evil and corruption, mercenaries, and Arbaki fighters who now once again see their own survival tied to the Pakistani regime’s support need to understand that Afghanistan today isn’t the Afghanistan of the Republic era, some laboratory where the world’s harmful projects can be tested out. A responsible, capable system rules here now, and here, every move and every step is now taken into account.
It would be best, with a prayer for divine guidance, for Afghanistan’s own soil, people, and ongoing stability to separate itself from the lap of foreigners, particularly the Pakistani regime, rather than pursuing these failed efforts at chaos, and to taste the sweetness of a dignified, responsible life in their own country instead. Otherwise, without that, all their own hopes and their masters’ hopes alike will end up in the grave, just as they did before.
The Pakistani regime would do well to turn its own attention to its internal situation and security instead of training and funding these terrorist groups and criminals, and to sit down and talk with its own people. The Pakistani people themselves can no longer bear the daily funerals of the regime’s soldiers and police passing through their streets, and Pakistani media doesn’t have the capacity to hide all the failures and insecurity that the army has clamped down so hard on covering and broadcasting.
