Only Popular Forces Will Save Afghanistan From Terrorism, US Occupation






Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
 
Friday’s cowardly sectarian terrorism in Afghanistan that left over 90 Friday-Prayer worshippers martyred and more than a hundred others injured at two mosques – one in Kabul and the other one in Ghor; the first one belonging to Shi’a Muslims and the second one to Sunni Muslims – were claimed by a Daesh-affiliate styling itself as "Islamic State of Afghanistan”.
It is obvious that this newly formed heretical Takfiri outfit, which has no connection with Islam except for its spurious claim, is funded and armed by the unholy Saudi-US-Zionist triangle. Its goal is to terrorize and massacre all followers of the School of the Ahl al-Bayt of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) – whether Shi’a or Sunni – so as to provide the American occupiers a pretext to maintain their illegal presence in Afghanistan.
The Taliban, which have also been hyperactive this month against Afghan army bases by taking a heavy toll of the US-trained but demoralized Afghan army, have distanced themselves from this Daesh-affiliate that emerged following the scathing defeats suffered by the various terrorist outfits in Syria and Iraq at the hands of the national armies and the popular mobilization forces.
It is worth noting that the tide of the battles in the two said countries, was turned against the terrorists, thanks to the admirable support provided to the national armies by dedicated volunteer forces.
In Iraq, it was the dynamism and faith in Islam of the Hashd ash-Sha’bi – made up of all religious-ethnic groups (Shi’a, Sunni, Arab, Kurd and Turkmen) – that blew the daylights out of the pack of jackals that the Daesh, its caliph and caliphate really are.  
In Syria, it is the Sunni Muslim Shabiha, along with volunteers of Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorist movement, the Hezbollah, which are delivering the death blow to the dastardly Daesh and other US-Saudi proxies, while the Fatemiyoun Brigade for Defence of the Holy Shrines, made up of devout Afghan Muslims, has defeated all sacrilegious plots to desecrate the sanctities of Islam.
This means that although the condemnation of the latest act of sectarian terrorism by the Afghan government and its pledge to "eliminate the terrorists who target Afghans of all religions and tribes” is welcome, we have to open our eyes to realities on the ground.
Friday’s mosque attacks by the Daesh-affiliate were not the first instance of sectarian terrorism and will not be the last, given the weakness of the authorities in Kabul, who in addition to being powerless to protest the unwarranted surge in the number of US occupation troops (who ought to leave Afghanistan), lack the will and resources to decisively combat terrorism.
It is nothing but self-deceit for the government of Afghanistan to think the US occupation troops who indiscriminately bomb and kill all Afghans, and thus give rise to terrorism, will help restore stability to the country.
Moreover, as is evident by the string of defeats suffered by US-trained forces in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere, Afghan army personnel simply lack the necessary nationalist spirit to tackle terrorism.
This requires the formation of popular brigades in Afghanistan of devout Muslims dedicated to the defence of their homes, hearths, and religious sanctities, on the model of the heroic Fatemiyoun.
Of course, the cooperation of the Afghan government in formation of such popular units, whether Sunni or Shi’a Muslims, is of vital importance, no matter the US is angered or not.
This is not just the only way to combat, defeat and eradicate the cowardly Daesh-affiliates, but will definitely convince many of the Taliban militants to sit for talks and return to the national fold for the sake of the country’s stability and territorial integrity, especially when prospects appear for kicking out the detested Americans who are the real obstacles to peace and peaceful co-existence.
If Kabul realizes the practicability of such a plan that has brilliantly succeeded in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere against terrorists of all hue and colour, in the face of US-Saudi-Zionist opposition, it will definitely find partners willing to help protect the independence and national solidarity of Afghanistan.
