Hypocritical silence in the face of brutality

by Muhammad Jalal

This week an entire 13-member family was massacred in an aerial bombardment on Sabzie village in Naghaan area of Arghandab district, Kandahar province. The sufferings of ordinary Afghans continue as the enemies of Afghanistan bleed the nation at a time when hopes for a long-lasting peace are higher than ever. This bombardment resulted in killing of men, women and innocent children. Similar brutality and crimes have been happening throughout the past 19 years of the American occupation. The is a stark reminder for everyone that the war in Afghanistan has been imposed on innocent Afghans and is not the will of Afghans. The Mujahideen are only defending the nation from violence directed at  them.

This massacre once again shows the callousness and evil nature of puppet stooges in Kabul administration. This shows their disregard for ordinary Afghans. It shows that those leading the Kabul administration will do everything to hold onto their positions, even if they have to murder thousands of innocent women and children for it. This massacre is the work of those whom are blood thirsty war criminals and whom want to ruin the country on the behest of their foreign masters.

As innocent civilians are continuously massacred mercilessly, the hypocritical silence from the backers of this criminal regime is equal to partnering with them in their crimes. In addition, the so-called champions of human rights along with the free and fair media are also silent on these crimes. There is no call for accountability and preserving of justice to the innocent people of Afghanistan.

These regime war criminals who are responsible for committing these horrific crimes against humanity are trained, equipped, supported and funded by their foreign masters. The disregard which they show for the lives of civilians is in fact part of their training which they have received and are still receiving. When innocent civilians are murdered by the regime, puppets in Kabul regime use the controlled media and the so-called human rights organizations to either keep silence or falsely report that they killed members of the Islamic Emirate, and such false claims are further echoed by their supporters like NATO and others. Killing civilians and claiming they were “Taliban” has become a new norm for the criminal Kabul administration. We have been witnessing this more often recently, and the bombardment of a madrasa in Kunduz where tens of children were killed is serves as another example.

The regime is doing its best to remain in power and sabotage the peace process. Their international backers such as NATO and others should understand that they will not be successful in their evil plans as the blood of innocent Afghans will not go in-vain and the resistance will only grow stronger. The last 19 years of occupation has only brought death and destruction for the Afghans. Entire villages have been wiped out and communities ruined. The hypocritical silence from the foreign backers of the regime along with media outlets, the so-called champions of democracy and defenders of human rights, proves that they all complicit in and approve of the pain inflicted on innocent civilians in rural Afghanistan.

The Kabul administration composed of warlords, criminals and mass murderers, and their foreign backers are partners and equally responsible in these crimes. The reaction of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will continue to be stronger in response to such criminal acts and it shall continue to defend the nation against foreign invaders and its puppet Kabul regime.
