زنده باد افغانستان

پنجشنبه گذشته مصادف با هشت جولای 2009 گزارشهای از نا پدید شدن یک کشتی حامل 74 مهاجر افغان در آب های طوفانی و متلاطم بین اندونیزیا و استرالیا منتشر شد. وزیر خارجه استرالیا یک بار به خبرنگاران گفت که این مهاجران افغان در سواحل یکی از جزایر اندونیزیا به دست نیروهای دریایی اندونیزیا افتاده اند و سالم هستند، اما یک روز بعدتر مقامات استرالیایی گفتند که هنوز از سرنوشت کشتی حامل مهاجران افغان که قبلا از سوی نیروهای دریایی آن کشور در آب های بین دو کشور استرالیا و اندونیزیا دیده شده بود، خبری نیست و به احتمال قوی این کشتی غرق شده است.
خدا کند که خبر غرق شدن این کشتی مهاجران بی چاره افغان درست نباشد. این اولین بار نیست که آب های متلاطم و بی رحم دریای بین اندونیزیا و استرالیا کشتی مهاجران بی کس و بی پناه افغان را درهم می شکند و مسافران بی دیار آن را طعمه نهنگ های این دریا میکند، پیش از این نیز ماجراهای پر غم و اندوه از این نوع اتفاق افتاده است. اکنون چند روزی است که از سرنوشت این کشتی خبری دردست نیست، و احتمال گم شدن سرنشینان ان در آب های بی سر و پای بحر بین اندونیزیا و استرالیا، بیشتر می گردد، کسی، سازمانی و حکومتی نیز نیست که در پی جستجوی این آواره ها بر آید. اگر 74 افغان در دریا غرق می شوند، و دولت این کشور حتی بخود زحمت گپ زدن در باره این قضیه را نمی دهد، تعجب نکنید، زیرا داستان های تلخ تر از این نیز در صفحات تاریخ این کشور درج است.

Candidates of presidential election or any other election, normally introduce their aims and programs during the election campaigning. They tell their planning and programs for the country. According the international norms and rules, the best candidate of election is the one who has the best and most comprehensive and practical programs for the progress, betterment, and improvement of the country. For example, in Afghanistan the best candidate for presidential election should be the one who really have effective, logical and practical programs for ending the war and security problem in this country, he or she should have the best programs for economical, political, social, and cultural progress of Afghanistan. He/she must be having practical programs for provision of educational opportunity, and health facility for the people. The best nominee of presidential election in Afghanistan is the one who has practical program and solution for solving the security issue, the top and the most important issue in Afghanistan.

But unfortunately none of the candidates of presidential election in Afghanistan have introduced a practical, precise and comprehensive solution to the war against Taliban or terrorism. Mr. Hamid Karzai is repeating the words and speeches of his past days. The most important slogan of president Karzai is, Afghanistan for all Afghans. This slogan is not as glittering and attractive as it was in the past, the people of Afghanistan have got aware and they have woken up, the chance of going power into hand of a special ethnic, is too little here now. I have to write with regret that some of other candidates are also shouting slogans of the same theme. Most of them are just criticizing the way Mr. Karzai has ruled during the past years.

Mr. Bashar Dost a westerned-educated member of parliament, outspoken and technocrat who also has nominated himself for this election, is the only candidate with detailed political, social and economical programs for the country, but he has failed to give a precise solution for ending the bloody conflict of the country. Some of the politicians accuse him of arbitrary, abstract and autocratic ideas and thoughts that they think is not feasible to be taken into practice. However most of the commoners and educated class among the residents of capital believe that Mr. Bashar Dost is the most honest man among the candidates. They say, Bashar Dost is the only nominee who is not about to get wealth in the name and shade of election.

Whatever has been done in the political deal of Mr. Karzai with former Jehadi leader has disappointed most of the common people and elites in Afghanistan. He has been reported to have promised ministries and high official posts of next government to his new and former allies. People of Afghanistan say that all decision, deals and election campaigning of the candidates must be in accordance with principals of national interest not private benefit of persons. Mr. Karzai as mostly thought to be the winner of coming election should not forget his pledges to people of Afghanistan. Whoever wins the race from candidates should not forget that he/she is the president of Afghanistan not the president of a particular group, ethnic, or political party. He must be looking deeply into matters and control his ministers from nepotism, corruption, and negligence.
Afghanistan is a country which needs extraordinary attention, devotion and sacrifice. It needs not to be looted and ignored again; it must be repaired, reconstructed, rebuilt and treated with affection and passion. The people here have suffered very much and they need a leader to serve them.
Some of the candidates giving promises that seem really impractical and people are sure that at least for now those promises are impossible to take place. Dr. Abdullah is speaking from system change, while mostly the people believe that current system is democratic, modern and Islamic. Rulers should change their behavior, policies and actions. Some are talking to remove bribe, corruption, and nepotism, while they themselves are reported to be resigning from presidential nomination in favor of other candidate for getting money. Some of the printed media in Kabul are extravagantly praising some of the candidates and propagating against rival nominees in most brazen and shameful way.

The ongoing operation of Afghan and American forces against Taliban insurgents in Hilmand province in southern Afghanistan is indeed very important and effective for the improvement of security and stability in the country. If this kind of operation had been done during the past years against Taliban insurgents and foreign terrorists in southern and south eastern areas of Afghanistan, the situation would have been much better now.
Military operation against the Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan is certainly the most effective way for eradication of insurgency and restoration of peace and stability here. It is right that with starting construction, economical and social activities, insurgency and fights will decrease but surely it will not be completely ended. Poverty is not the sole reason and incentive for the battle in Afghanistan. Here are thousands of religious students who have been taught and trained in seminaries of the tribal areas in both side of the Durand line. Those who have built these seminaries or Madrasas and finance them have vicious and dangerous dreams for Afghanistan. They will not desist from efforts to destabilize Afghanistan unless they are crashed to death.
Military operation against Taliban, bombardment of their hideouts inside and outside Afghanistan certainly leads to their fall and defeat. They have not that power to resist against the attacks of coalition forces.
Most of the Afghans question the intention of international forces in this country. Because they believe that Taliban whose number maximum will not be more than twenty thousand across Afghanistan are certainly unable to fight with national and international troops whose numbers reach more than two hundred thousands. National and international forces have sophisticated and modern weaponries and equipments while Talibans don’t have these things. People in Afghanistan are asking who these Talibans are that have frightened the world and the government of Afghanistan is frustrated and week against them.
Coalition forces led by American troops should prove that they have here to support democracy, rule of law, peace, stability and justice. They are here to fight the dark and narrow minded Taliban who had taken this country to stone century, who are opposing the civilization, moderation and development of human. Taliban are not threat to peace and stability only in Afghanistan, they are rather the enemies of international progress and peace. Americans should not forget that people like Taliban attacked the world trade center; they are those barbaric existents who behead the innocent people, burning the schools and doing the works that is not befitting for a human.
