Afghanistan and Taliban

How could this month end, without thoughts and prayers for the most happening event of the month? 

Afgan - Gravyard of Empires. Land - Filled with minerals - Lithum. 

Afghan is now added to the lists of Uyghurs and Rohingya. 

Uyghurs alternatively spelled Uighurs, Uygurs or Uigurs, are a Turkic ethnic group originating from and culturally affiliated with the general region of Central and East Asia. The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China.

Rohingya people are a stateless Indo-Aryan ethnic group who predominantly follow Islam and reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Before the displacement crisis in 2017, when over 740,000 fled to Bangladesh, an estimated 1.4 million Rohingya lived in Myanmar

The Taliban, or "students" in the Pashto language, emerged in the early 1990s in northern Pakistan following the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. It is believed that the predominantly Pashtun movement first appeared in religious seminaries - mostly paid for by money from Saudi Arabia - which preached a hardline form of Sunni Islam.

The promise made by the Taliban - in Pashtun areas straddling Pakistan and Afghanistan - was to restore peace and security and enforce their own austere version of Sharia, or Islamic law, once in power.

Taliban Has "Broken Shackles Of Slavery", Says Pak PM Imran Khan

If the Taliban succeeds in toppling the Western-backed government in Kabul, China is prepared to recognize the group as the LEGITIMATE ruling power of Afghanistan, US News reports, citing multiple intelligence sources.

Beijing has publicly pressed the Taliban to continue working towards a peace agreement with Ashraf Ghani’s government, but reportedly sees any sort of stability in the country as beneficial to China’s prior economic investments in the region, including mineral rights in Afghanistan.

For revenge against 9/11 US went after Osama, Al Qaeda, Taliban and Mullah Omar. It didn’t get happy that MOHD Atta is no more as they knew he was just a last mile Pawn. 

We need to strike at roots which nurture this evil poisonous tree.

As on 31st July 2021 MASSIVE LINES as Afghans queue at passport office in Kabul amid Taliban offensive.

The Taliban's senior leadership includes many Mujahideen fighters who were once trained by the U.S. during the Cold War to battle against the invading Soviet Union forces in the 1980s. The Sunni group's membership is drawn largely from the majority ethnic Pashtun population most dominant in the southern part of the country. 

Taliban do not want any foreign dignitaries or reporters stuck in the country so that they have more control over what the world knows. The escorting is also not because they want to make sure the foreigners reach home safe it is to identify the big shots of Afghanistan and making sure they do not flee. Especially the land owners of the opium farms. The chaos of the common people is because they understand the talibanian strategy and can foresee the future based on earlier experiences. It is not because Taliban has done anything yet. It also means that Taliban has bigger plans this time. So nobody is nice here… it is all about power, control and money

Extremist always create havoc. While the Righ wing try to propogae that if they are not active, they would attack and wipe us out, others call the right wing equivalent to Taliban.

All said and done, hate never destroys hate, it would only create more hate.

Peace, Peace, Peace. May there be Peace and Happiness Around!
