It is not the “International Community’s RESPONSIBILITY to increase humanitarian aid because we are in need”. Aid is given because of desire to help where it benefits all members of a culture or society. But if that cultural leadership is observed to be self destructive, repressive or regressive they will most likely be left to their own devices to demonstrate to their leadership and culture that changes need to made for progress to be achieved. If given freedom of expression the people themselves will tell the leadership what is needed or desired. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of leadership to serve the people not enslave them to imposed beliefs. Prosperity usually follows individual freedoms and rights to educational development.

I hope you guys undertake some research. I am ethnic Afghan and if you read our history you will find that we were progressive but the west had to impose Taliban on us through indoctrination and manipulation of our people. Afghanistan was one of the first countries that allowed women to vote. In the 70s students would go to Afghan universities to study from Pakistan and other neighbouring countries. With the help of Soviet Union, healthcare was universal and education was free. The reason for this was Saur Revolution of Afghanistan in 1978. Afghanistan became a socialist country and this was a big dilemma for the west. They feared Soviet Union will get access to the Middle East, deep sea-ports and Indian markets directly-the neighbouring country Pakistan was also on the same road and India had socialist aspirations too. The east was becoming socialist. For this sole reason Taliban were created. Taliban was a western project lead by the United States of America. Pakistan was already under military rule and people were fighting against them. The west with the help of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia-both these states were authoritarian regimes-decided to create Taliban. The Afghan nation has always been fighting invaders-since thousands of years-and when the Soviet Union sent its troops to support the socialist government of 1978, the west used this opportunity and started a mass propaganda campaign to use and exploit our religious beliefs and our code of honour “Pashtunwali”-must read-as a tool of manipulation. They, the west and its authoritarian allies, exploited our beliefs and paid millions of dollars to Pakistan for this end. All the initial Taliban fighters and its leaders were trained by the CIA in Pakistan’s tribal regions. The USA sent its CIA operatives to Pakistan to oversee this process of indoctrination and brainwashing. Pakistan military was ordered to pay the clergy to manipulate the masses. Our children were taught in mosques, during prayers for example, and in religious schools, that those who read will go to hell-I remember this vividly. In Pashto, the clergy used to brainwash our youth by saying “Sabaq da madrase wayi da para da paise wayi, Pa jannat k ba ye zai na we Pa dozakh k ba ghoope wayi”, translation is “those who go to schools do it for money and there will be no place for them in heaven, they will go to hell”. This was the first step towards extremism, by keeping our children away from education. Saudi Arabia and the USA paid Pakistan millions of dollars to create thousands of religious schools that worked in every village, day and night, to create the Taliban. “Taliban” literally translates to “students”. However, in reality these were no schools but institutions used for the process of indoctrination. Furthermore, they, the west and its allies, used our code of honour which clearly states that we will even provide protection to our enemies if they come to our Hujra (a kind of guesthouse for guests, usually bigger than our houses.) but it also states that if two brothers are fighting with one another, they must stop fighting and come together if one of the brothers gets into a fight with another family. In similar ways, if two families in a village are fighting, they must stop if the village goes to war with another. Same was for invaders, if an invader army invaded any part of Pashtun/Afghan region, all must unite and fight those invaders. Winston Churchill referred to our people. In his book “The Story of the Malakand Field Force” where he describes the tribal people in the valleys of the North West Frontier (now in western Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan). He wrote about the inhabitants, stating that they were often in conflict with each other but united against a common enemy: “Every man’s hand is against the other, and all against the stranger” . This captures the idea that while they might fight among themselves, they would come together when faced with an outsider. People who were living in the tribal areas of Pakistan were used as means to an end. The end was to defeat Soviet Union and to prevent Soviet Union from accessing the aforementioned territories and deep sea-ports. The hypocrisy of the west is astounding. That’s how Taliban came into existence! (It’s just a small part of the 40 years war that was imposed on us)

[@Eurosianball]

[@izazkhan9027]

@@belleofthecamp6530, thank you for reading. I will share a more refined version-with more clarity and precision, completely factual, and accurate timeline etc..: (anyone can easily fact check it) Afghanistan’s history in the 20th century is a tapestry woven with the threads of hope, progress, and profound tragedy. In the mid-1900s, the land that now echoes with the pain of endless conflict was once a beacon of modernization and social reform. The nation embraced change with a fervor, pushing towards a future where women could vote, learn, and lead. In the 1960s and 70s, Afghanistan’s universities stood tall, welcoming eager minds from across the region, from Pakistan to India, seeking knowledge and enlightenment in a country that valued education and empowerment. Kabul University, in particular, was a symbol of this golden age, a testament to the nation’s aspirations. The dawn of a new era came with the Saur Revolution of 1978, a turning point that promised to reshape Afghan society. The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), with the support of the Soviet Union, seized control, heralding a new order of socialist reforms. These reforms aimed to redistribute land, eradicate illiteracy, and provide universal healthcare. The dream was grand, but the execution harsh. The PDPA’s radical policies alienated many, especially among the deeply conservative and religious sectors of society. Afghanistan, a land of proud traditions, found itself torn between visions of the future and the sacred bonds of its past. Amid this turmoil, the world beyond Afghanistan’s borders watched with bated breath. In the shadows of the Cold War, the United States and its allies saw a threat in the socialist government-a threat that stretched beyond the Hindu Kush to the strategic depths of the Middle East and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The fear was palpable: a socialist Afghanistan could become a Soviet stronghold, altering the delicate balance of power in the region. In response, the U.S. launched Operation Cyclone, a covert operation of unprecedented scale and expense, channeling billions of dollars to arm and support the Afghan mujahideen. Pakistan, under the iron rule of General Zia-ul-Haq, became the conduit for this operation. With financial backing from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s government recruited, trained, and armed these fighters, infusing them with a conservative Islamic ideology that resonated with Zia’s own vision for the region. It was a time when religion was weaponized, not to uplift but to divide, to create soldiers out of believers. Religious schools, or madrassas, in Pakistan’s tribal areas became the crucibles for this radical transformation. Funded by Saudi oil wealth and supported by the CIA, these institutions preached a puritanical form of Islam that cast the Soviet “infidels” as the enemies of the faith. Young Afghans and Pakistanis were molded into instruments of war, their minds filled with a narrative that made jihad a religious duty. This was more than just ideological indoctrination; it was a manipulation of the very soul of a people, exploiting their faith and cultural heritage for geopolitical ends. At the heart of this manipulation was Pashtunwali, the ancient code of conduct that governs Pashtun society. Pashtunwali embodies values such as hospitality, protection of guests, and an unyielding sense of honor. It also enshrines the principle of solidarity in the face of external threats. This was exploited to devastating effect. The saying, “Sabaq da madrase wayi da para da paise wayi, Pa jannat k ba ye zai na we Pa dozakh k ba ghoope wayi,” meaning “those who go to schools do it for money and there will be no place for them in heaven, they will go to hell,” was propagated to sow seeds of mistrust towards education. It was a cruel irony that the word “Taliban,” meaning “students,” would come to signify those who had been taught to despise the very pursuit of knowledge that once brought glory to Afghanistan. Winston Churchill, in his account of the tribal dynamics in the North West Frontier, noted, “Every man’s hand is against the other, and all against the stranger” (“The Story of the Malakand Field Force,” 1898). This sentiment was later exploited by external powers, turning the inherent Afghan unity against foreign invasion into a tool for their own geopolitical chess game. Afghanistan’s fierce independence and its people’s willingness to unite against a common enemy were used to serve a purpose that was never theirs to begin with. The Taliban emerged from this crucible of conflict in the early 1990s. They were the children of the madrassas, young refugees who had known only war and the harsh teachings of their ideological mentors. At first, they promised stability in a land weary of chaos, imposing a strict interpretation of Sharia law that resonated with those longing for order. But the order they brought was one of darkness-marked by the suppression of women, the public executions, and the erasure of cultural heritage, like the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas that stood as silent witnesses to Afghanistan’s rich history. Yet, the seeds of terrorism were sown during this era, seeds that would grow into a global menace. The Taliban, forged in the crucible of the Cold War, harbored and nurtured extremist elements that would eventually turn their wrath outward. The poisonous fruit of this geopolitical game was the rise of international terrorism, culminating in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. The very forces that the West had once armed and trained turned against them, bringing death and destruction to the heart of New York City and beyond. The world watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell, a stark reminder that the consequences of meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations for the sake of strategic advantage can come back with devastating force. The West, proclaiming to be champions of democracy and freedom, supported authoritarian regimes and manipulated the socio-political landscape of Afghanistan, all in the name of fighting communism. How can they claim to bring democracy when they undermined a government that, despite its flaws, was laying the foundation for progress and modernity? They ousted a democratic socialist government because it did not align with their capitalist interests, because it dared to dream of a different future for its people-a future where healthcare was universal, education was free, and women stood shoulder to shoulder with men in the building of a nation. Instead, the West’s interference plunged Afghanistan into a dark abyss, where extremist ideologies flourished and the voices of progress were silenced. The Taliban’s rise was not an accident of history but a direct outcome of foreign intervention and the cynical use of religion as a weapon of war. The very forces that were empowered to combat Soviet influence became the harbingers of terror, not just for Afghanistan but for the world. We are now reaping the bitter fruits of seeds sown decades ago. Terrorism has spread its roots far and wide, claiming innocent lives in a brutal cycle of violence. The Afghan people, once proud and progressive, have borne the brunt of this tragedy, caught in a storm of ideology and power politics that was never theirs to begin with. This is but a chapter in the long and painful saga of a war imposed upon a proud and ancient land-a war that has not only scarred the earth but also the souls of its people. The exploitation of Afghanistan’s culture, faith, and sense of unity for the machinations of foreign powers is a story that resonates with a timeless truth: that the human cost of geopolitical ambition is often borne by those who have the least say in the matter. And in the wake of this tragic history, we are left with a haunting question: what was gained, and at what cost? The echoes of this question reverberate not just in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan, but in the heart of every nation that has felt the scourge of terrorism born from the ashes of this conflict.
