Sectarian Killings; A Dangerous Enemy Conspiracy
23 January 2017By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
On the 11th of Muharram al Haram in Kabul and Balkh, the ceremonies of 'Ashura
were attacked causing death and injury to dozens of participants. These
attacks – no matter who perpetuated them and under what excuse – are primarily
aimed at harming the Afghan people.
In Afghanistan, Sunnis and Shias have co-existed for centuries. They live
communal lives and participate in their mutual festivities. And for centuries
they have fought shoulder to shoulder against foreign invaders. Even now,
while some political opportunists have aided the invaders under the guise of
Shia representation, yet the majority of Shia populations in Bamyan, Daikundi
and Hazarajat has actively aided and continue to support the Mujahideen
against the foreigners and their puppets.
The foreign occupiers seek to ignite the flames of communal hatred and
violence between Sunnis and Shias in Afghanistan. Those that want to ignite
these flames should know that in any such communal violence, only Afghans will
suffer and such a conflict will only weaken the resistance against foreigners
and have grave long-term consequences.
Once the flames of communal violence are ignited, the Afghans will cannibalize
each other, weaken their unity, actively seek foreign assistance, and
ultimately welcome any foreign intervention that helps in repressing the
opposition forces. Such an eventuality will only prolong the current or any
future occupation of our nation, divide us politically, ethnically, militarily
and ultimately facilitate the dismemberment of our beloved country.
It is said that humans usually only understand that which they can see with
their eyes or sense with any of their five senses. Even then we don't have to
look very far to see the destructive effects of such divisive politics.
Looking at the current situation of the Middle East or Western Asia, one can
easily grasp the destruction caused by this Sunni-Shia divide.
The political aspirations of the people, the toils of the Islamists, and the
blood and tears of the Jihadi warriors have all come to naught because the
conniving enemy has divided us religiously, ethnically and politically,
throwing one against the each, supporting one side then abandoning it for the
other, simply to maintain a balance of power where each side brutally fights
the others. This politics of bloodied stalemate has only bred hatred amongst
the Muslims, exhausted them ideologically, physically and mentally all the
while our enemies stand on the sidelines and enjoy this gladiatorial
death-combat.
Allah Almighty has blessed us with the religion of Islam. A religion that does
not recognize races, ethnicities, linguistic groups or any other forms of
distinctions. According to this sublime religion, all humans are the offspring
of Adam (PBUH) and Eve. There is no pride among humans based on their colors,
races, languages or other such singularities. If one human wants to pride
himself on others, then he or she can only do so through their piety and
sacrifices for the sake of their Lord Almighty. The followers of Islam will
only ever reclaim their rightful place in this world if they forgo their petty
differences and unite as a single egalitarian body.
Who has a hand in the kidnappings of children?
The successes of the Mujahideen – capturing large territories including dozens
of district centers as well as capturing and surrendering thousands of regime
soldiers – has broken the two-headed Kabul regime's back and pushed them to
the abyss.
Now the regime barely maintains its control in the confines of the provincial
and district centers. The military and intelligence bodies of the regime are
fragmented and uncoordinated. Soldiers are deserting their posts and
positions. The regimes days are numbered and ill-omens litter their every
initiative.
Political and military experts point to the disarray plaguing the regime,
where governors and commanders are busy building their fiefdoms and the
so-called President can't even replace acting governors of provinces. Warlords
and strongmen have carved their own personal governments; they maintain their
own militias and prisons. They act according to their whims and openly
derogate the semblance of governance and rule of law. The Parliament impeaches
incompetent ministers but the so-called President breaks constitutional
normality by submitting to the threats of strongmen and re-instating these
incompetent ministers.
While the regime is too paralyzed to take concrete and constructive action
they have however perfected the art of deceit and perception-building. Every
now and then the government takes some steps accompanied with much fanfare so
as to project its abilities and successes. One such incident was the recent
kidnapping and rescue of a child in Farah province.
On the 22 of Aqrab media conglomerates affiliated with the regime published
reports of a child who had been kidnapped by criminals and whose whereabouts
remained unknown. Soon thereafter a video emerged that showed the child –
Naveed – in captivity and begging for his life. This video understandably
provoked much sympathy from all walks of life. Then a few days later the
regime's provincial government in Farah announced that the said child had been
found and rescued. According to them the child was safely returned to the
family and the perpetrators of this crime arrested. According to reliable
sources it was subsequently revealed that among the kidnappers was the
deputy-governor's personal bodyguard. It has also being reported that this
child was in fact found at the house of a high-serving provincial official.
The evidence so far suggests a strong correlation between the regime forces
and this kidnapping of an innocent child. To a reasonable observer the
evidence evinces a strong probability that some government officials are
abetting criminals and the regime needs to take immediate action to prevent
the recurrence of such incidents. The repeat of such incidence would raise
serious questions regarding the collusion of government officials in such
crimes either for personal profit or perhaps to actively orchestrate such
crimes and rescues for garnishing the regime's image.
