It is a great
sorrow to see how the western countries treat Afghan civilians inside their own
country as well as on the way to run for lives out of their own country.
Few days back
the Taliban took the control of Kunduz Province of Afghanistan and there they
committed many war crimes such as murder, rape, massacre and torture of
civilians and the soldiers of the government of Afghanistan. The female workers
lost their jobs and as a consequence of that, many female headed families had
no incomes and thus many children were deprived of their basic human rights
such as access to food and schools.
The Taliban also
managed to release around 700 prisoners from the central prison of Kunduz who
were mainly Taliban and other criminals who were arrested and jailed in Kunduz
by the government authorities. The release of these prisoners was not much
different as the other release of the Taliban from Bagram Prison by Ashraf
Ghani’s help during his presidential campaign. It was the same political Pashtunism
and tribal sympathy for the Taliban’s mission which is superiority of one tribe
and one language and one Mazhab (sub branch of religion) of Afghanistan over
others.
It is important
to know that Kunduz has around 6 million civilian population who were
historically against the Taliban and religious extremism but during the
previous rule of the Pashtun tribes in Afghanistan, many Pashtun kings and
presidents of Afghanistan were sending Pashtun tribes by force to northern
Afghanistan to take the agricultural lands of none-Pashto speakers and occupy
the province to suppress the other none-Pashtun tribes. As a result of such
tribal expansionism now there are many small Pashtun tribes in there who are
being used as a tool to destabilize those areas whenever required.
Historically the
political leaders of Afghanistan have failed to think beyond their own tribes
and they have historically failed to follow a political strategy nationwide for
Afghanistan which can ensure equal rights of all different tribes, religions
and languages of the country.
When we look at
the local media inside Afghanistan, most of the none-Pashtun political analysts in
Afghanistan believe that the recent Kunduz Province collapse and revival of the
Taliban in that region is merely a failure of the government of Afghanistan but
rather a pre-planned conspiracy based on tribal issues and racism by the new
president of the country and his racist fellows around him who share the same
ethnic backgrounds.
The fall of
Kunduz had a major loss for the economy of Afghanistan at different levels. The
loss of the human capital was huge due to internal displacements as well as the
escape of civilians in other countries besides mass murder and massacres that
happened. There were even internally
displaced peoples’ camps built in the capital city of Kabul by some Afghan
businessmen to help around hundreds civilians of Kunduz. The war and regime
change for a small period of time had a negative impact on the agricultural products
of Afghanistan because Kunduz is historically the agricultural store of
Afghanistan which produces rice, wheat, barley, beans, potatoes, onions,
tomatoes, melon, watermelon, apples, apricots, grapes, pomegranates, berries ,
nuts and a number of any other varieties of agricultural products. When the war
happens, displacements also happen and it forces farmers to escape too besides other civilians who run to save their lives, to save themselves from the brutal torture
of the Talibanism and their war crimes.
The civilians
not only escaped because they want to save their families from the Taliban but
also from other unknown armed people who would go there to benefit from the war
and lack of rule of law. They are robbers who want to take everything they
find. They also escape to save their families from the rape, imprisonment, and
unidentified gun shots of both parties, the government of Afghanistan and the
Taliban who fire at each other and some bullets may go to civilian’s houses.
Civilians of
Kunduz also escaped because their village was bombarded by the drones and the
drones are blind and can kill everyone there in the village like civilian, government soldiers and the Taliban.
The Taliban were
not so many in numbers when they started to fight with the army of Afghanistan
in Kunduz. They were around 500 armed men with Kalashnikov already placed in
Kunduz and it was well planned because the governor and the chief of security of
Kunduz were not there on their jobs to organize soldiers against the Taliban. Apparently
they were both Pashtuns and they were also part of the conspiracy because
they traveled out of the country few days ago before the war in Kunduz began and they did not return on time to defend their soldiers and no one else were sent from the central government either to help the poor mainly none-Pashtun soldiers who were brutally murdered by the Taliban.
Apparently the
new president of Afghanistan has the plan to shift the battlefields from the
southwestern provinces of Afghanistan to northern Afghanistan to make some
none-Pashtun political leaders such as Atta Mohammad Noor worried as well as
to reinforce the Pashtun tribe superiority in the northern Provinces of
Afghanistan where majority of the people are none-Pashtun speakers who will supposedly vote for a none-Pashtun president in the next upcoming elections.
The other
factors of the revival of the Taliban in Afghanistan are linked to the exit
strategy of foreign troops in Afghanistan. If there is no insurgency there in
Afghanistan, there will be no reason to stay longer.
One of the guys
who managed to escape Kunduz in the first days was Musa who reached Europe as a
refugee. When he got here, he could manage to call his family after a long time
and he got a bad news. His brother Essa died in the drone attacks on the Kunduz
Hospital which was being helped by the MSF (Medicines Sans Frontiers).
Poor guy did not
know anything about the European refugee policies and how these countries hated
refugees, especially the ones who are Muslims.
He was
recognized as a refugee and after a hard search for an apartment; he could
finally convince a Turkish man to rent his apartment for him. The rent of the
apartment was equal to the amount he was receiving as aid from the host
European county, so he had almost no money to buy food to eat. He was always
hungry and despite all the problems he faced daily like racism,
Islamophobia, discrimination, xenophobia and sarcasm, he still hoped if he
could bring the rest of his family in Europe.
He applied to
bring his family in Europe. He got a free lawyer from the government. She was a
lady. She was a very evil lady because she did not want to help his client to
bring his family in Europe because she was a racist and she hated Muslims.
The governments in
Europe usually ask lawyers to handle the cases of the refugees. The governments
would like to receive the cases and all the documents of refugees from a lawyer
but not from every single individual.
The lawyer asked
the refugee “what is your problem?”
The refugee
explained all what had happened to him. The refugee said that he wants to bring
his wife and children to Europe. He also explained what happened to his brother
in Kunduz.
The lawyer who
is supposed to help the refugees writes a letter to the ministry of foreign
affairs of the related country and explains the situation and says that this
refugee is an anti-American Muslim who is against the American anti-terrorism
air strikes in Afghanistan. The visa for his family should be canceled and
sends this letter to the ministry of foreign affairs and after a while sends a
copy of the letter to the refugee. The refugee still believes that the lawyer
might help him in his case. The ministry of foreign affairs of the host country
refuses the claim of the lawyer and the lawyer looks into the documents and
finds another excuse to reject the application of visa for the family of the
Afghan refugee. The lawyers know it very well that there are no marriage
certificates, birth certificates and death certificates issued inside
Afghanistan because the government of Afghanistan is not able to deliver such
services. They asked for the marriage certificates of the Afghan family. They
did not have one. They asked one from the relevant authorities inside
Afghanistan, the authorities inside Afghanistan asked for money as a bribe,
they family of the refugee did not have enough money to bribe the authorities
for the issuing a marriage certificate for them. Finally by paying a little
amount of money, they got a Zawja Khat which is a traditional marriage certificate
in Afghanistan. The Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the relevant
host country did not accept that Zawja Khat because it looks like an Islamic
Marriage Certificate and thus they found many problems in that because there
was no date and issuance number on it. They finally refused the application for
visa to let the family get together and the man was here and the wife and the
children were there in Afghanistan.
In this
procedure many years passed and some children reached the age of 18 and then
the government refuges to accept those children who were above the age of 18 to
join their family here in Europe. The rest of the family got visa after 2 years
but now part of the family who were mainly girls who had no one else would not
be allowed by the European laws to join their family in Europe. They had to
stay in a fragile and insecure city without their parents.
The father who
was doctor got a kind of minor job of cleaning the offices in a racist European
country. He worked hard to save forty thousand (40000) Euros to pay a smuggler
to bring the two young daughters of the family to Europe by illegal journey
through Iran, Turkey, Greece and many other countries where there is risk of losing
your life in every step. They run the mountains and deserts during the night
and sleeping and hiding themselves from the border police patrol during the
nights. Finally they two girls got to Turkey
with wounded feet crossing many borders.
They were asked
to sit in a small boat with 25 other refugees to travel inside the Mediterranean
ocean to get to Greece. They were given an emergency number to call in case
their boat drowns. They telephone number was taken from the internet and it
belonged to the border police of Greece. They were wandering inside the water
for five days without food, water and medical cares. It was a very bad
situation. Finally they found out that there is signal of antenna for their
telephone. They called the emergency number and it was a dark night. They saw
that a ship was coming towards them. They were very happy. They thought they
came to save them. But the ship came and hit the boat and the boat drowned. All
the people died and only one of them was saved after 3 days from by a fishing
boat who told the whole story.
