The Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan:
The Process of Power Handover by the Foreigners Must not be Nominal
Shaaban 25, 1432 A.H, Thursday, July 28, 2011
In the Name of
Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
In the recent past days, a so-called power transfer process
has started in some provinces of the occupied Afghanistan in
which the foreign invaders hand over security responsibility
to the Afghan forces. The other day, the first phase of the
power transition from the foreign invaders to the Afghan
forces came to completion in Panjsher. Before that, the
so-called power handover process had taken place during
ceremonial fanfare in Bamyan, Lashkargah, Herat, Laghman and
Mazari Sharif.
The demand for transfer of control of the country and the
granting of the right of self-determination to the Afghan
people was the very principle which the Islamic Emirate has
been insisting on from the beginning. However, by perpetrating
the invasion, the arrogant Americans deprived the Afghans of
this legitimate right, terrorizing them for the past ten
years, on charges of demanding the said inalienable right. But
now thanks to the Jihadic resistance of the Afghan people, the
Americans have been compelled to accept the demand of the
Afghan people for their rights, though at least nominally.
Therefore, they are evacuating from some provinces under the
pretext of transition of power to the Afghan forces. But the
Islamic Emirate advises them to speed up the process of
complete withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Let’s see how realistic is the so-called security handover
process and to what extent it can be called as genuine process
of power transfer. A case in hand is Helmand where the
security responsibility was transferred to the Afghan forces.
But outside the parameters of the city, there are still 10,000
British troops stationed in various parts of the province. If
we count the American and other foreign troops, their numbers
would surpass tens of thousands of troops. Kabul can be quoted
as a second example of the process .The power transfer process
will take place there soon, by completing power transition
from the foreign forces to the Afghans’. There too, the
foreigners have all epicenters of decision-making in their
hands– right from the presidential palace down to the ministry
of defense, the government departments and ministries.
If the transition process by the foreigners continues on the
same pattern in other parts of Afghanistan, this will neither
serve the cause of the Afghans nor of the occupied
Afghanistan. Similarly, it will not have positive impact on
the prevailing situation. So for a complete exit of invading
forces and the independence of the country, the nominal
handover of security responsibility by foreigners will not
suffice.
Yesterday, the new American ambassador in Kabul expressed that
the Americans were not interested in establishment of
permanent bases and in the occupation of Afghanistan. If they
are sincere in what they say, then why they waste time by
launching gaudy and ostentatious measures. Afghanistan already
has been floundering in the flames of war. It was the
Americans who started the war in the first place. But now as
the most belligerent Americans are tired of the war, so it is
more proper for the Americans to take drastic and realistic
steps for the termination of the occupation and for solution
of the imbroglio.
