Afghanistan's  Hizb-e-Islami party's Senior Political Board Member Engineer Mohammad Amin  Karim talks extensively on the Afghan-US debacle as well as the hot-bed  situation that has lasted for five decades starting from the late 1970s when  the Soviet Union influenced Afghanistan's political, social, economic and  cultural 'evolution' and ultimately invaded it to make it a part of the  Communist empire.

TOT:  How do you see the political situation in Afghanistan  after 2014? For instance, will the whole nation be dragged into yet  another civil war just like it happened after the withdrawal of the Soviets, or  will the scenario transform itself into enabling the smooth establishment of an  efficiently-functioning democratic society?

Er.  Mohammad Amin Karim "Thank you very much  for providing me with this rare opportunity of an exclusive interview with  "The Oslo Times". This is a very pleasant moment for me that I am  here with this prestigious publication and "defender" of human  rights".

"For  understanding today's situation and the situation beyond 2014, it is necessary  that we should look back a little into the bygone chapters of irrefutable  history. Here, you have the example of the crushing of the Soviet Union Empire  by the ferocity and tenacious endeavor  of the Afghan freedom fighters, along with the sacrifices made by thousands and  thousands of Afghans and made all the more historic when seen in the limelight  of negligible moral backing and ignorable financial support from the rest of  the world". 

""The  "Rival Empire", which means the US, came into the picture where it  can now think of its supremacy over the world, and called this supremacy as the  "New World Order". Afghanistan, as the heart of Asia, and in the  immediate vicinity of the other four atomic powers of the world -- with Iran  threatened and accused of changing into a war-mongering nuclear power among  these three political countries"". 

"With  the increasing economic power of Russia, India and China; the country has  became one of the transit points for the 25 percent under-exploited natural  resources of the world.  Therefore, Washington came to the ground to  handle Afghanistan, in worst of all public analyses, world opinions of neutral  states and logical disasters of such an action on its part.  The military  program of the USA, to handle Afghanistan, was decided from the day when the  "Russian Empire" collapsed".

According  to the Hizb e Islami Afghanistan (H.I.A) leader, it means that in the middle of  the 80s' and the following decades "the Pentagon's strategic plan was working  on how to start a war in its strategically chosen 'weak' nations of the world  especially Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. This can be gleaned and understood more  effectively by examining the post-1990 downfall of the Soviet Union and the  virtual collapse of Communism there. It should be remembered that the Soviet  Union which was the 'other super-power' of the world. (The US being the first)  failed terribly in humbling the Afghans and had to withdraw its supposedly great  army after suffering a humiliating 'defeat' at the hands of the Afghan  Mujahedeen for more than a decade".

"In  theory, it has been shown in one part of the book, named the "Clashes of the  Civilizations" as to how this American-orchestrated war program was completed  by Mr. Samuel Huntington - as justifiably exposed by the policies of Mrs.  Madeleine Albright and Clinton's other important ministers of his  administration. The military program to attack Afghanistan was decided by the  US in 1998; but according to her (Ms. Albright) neither common talks nor the  vast majority of the American nation's opinion seemed to allow Washington a  chance to invade Afghanistan". 

"However,  the so called 'civil war' in Afghanistan, starting in the 90s' and continuing  for decades later, helped the preplanned and continuous long program of America  and its companions - to make war in Afghanistan -- combined with the help of  the Russians and Iran. And the main objective was to prevent the  "centre" of policy making in Kabul to establish a strong and central  Islamic government throughout Afghanistan".

"The  events of September 11, 2001, emerged (for the US and other global dominating  powers of the international ambitious clique of that time) proved to become the  best ruse to occupy our country.  Military, industrial, and petroleum  lobbies of the US which are the main phenomenon to make its foreign policies;  by misusing of the world thought and humanity, a wrong side of September 11  America attacked on our country, this is transgression against international  law". 

"It  was implemented by using the slogan of fighting against "international  terrorism". As you know the operation of the American Army under 'Enduring  Freedom' does not have any legal provision in Afghanistan.  On the approval  of organizations the existence of ISAF is an example. American invasion  under the name of "Enduring Freedom" has no legal base and the UN has given its  permission only to the ISAF -- to operate in Afghanistan".

"Therefore,  the occupation of Afghanistan by Americans is against the philosophy of  civilized international community worldwide and UNO -- that has organizations  to control peace in all the regions of the world, just as outlaws and pirates  did and still do via the "law of the jungle". The 11 years' existence of  foreign armies in Afghanistan sacrificed over 150,000 people and destroyed many  places in Afghanistan -- even those which were saved during the Russian  occupation". 

Elucidating  further the H.I.A party leader emphasized that "Here, we can rightly say that  the situation is not much better today, than it was in the past. The Afghan  nation during 5,000 years of its history has fought against many invaders  starting from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan, right up to the British, the  Russians and then the US-NATO troops and their allies".

§§

"All this only proves that there was no trace of terrorism in  Afghanistan before the Russian invasion which was later worsened by the US-NATO  and their allies' attack on the land using the ruse of fighting against  extremists, militants, fanatics, under the banner of the Al Qaida - and calling  it as a "War on Terror." But, to put matters and the events that happened under  the leadership of the Americans and their 'friends' spread the world over and then  by seeing the factual position as recorded by history - the destruction of  Afghanistan via the US-touted "War on Terror"; it becomes crystal clear that  TERRORISM 'entered' - or we can more correctly say that TERRORISM was  'introduced' into Afghanistan by the coming of the US-NATO forces and their erstwhile allies spread all over  the five inhabited continents of the modern globe. And not just TERRORISM but  even administrative and financial corruption (caused by the super-powers'  invasions in the last five decades) has jeopardized our entire country and put  our motherland in a race with some of the most corrupt countries of the world  present today. And this corruption is also the result of a far greater extent  that has annihilated our homeland and the innocent people, mainly on account of  the existence of the unabated US-NATO presence in Afghanistan".

§§

According  to the H.I.A official it came out that: "The truth is that the two super-powers  of the world and their friends and allies have annihilated our country using  what I would say the insatiable hunger for imposing their own supremacy via the  "New World Order" through a planned and evil system of devilish cultural  fornication. Thus, it is an undeniable truth and an irrefutable reality - as  the facts have proven and still continue to prove to this day that when  Afghanistan has suffered ruin and obliteration at the hands of the major  power-hungry West especially the US and their global allies and the Soviet  Union.

He  went on to stress his case by arguing that "It is quite convincingly noticeable  when the impartial, unbiased and neutral peace-loving leading historians,  experts on international affairs and several world politicians come out and  dare to speak the truth that stares the whole world in the face. And that truth  and reality is, "they"; the "US-NATO forces and all those who support them have  ransacked a culturally rich and peaceful Afghanistan by attacking and maiming  its peaceful people for five decades".    

"So,  what I would conclude in all fairness and justification is that the "American  Adventure" (War on Terror) has proved to be nothing than a historically  expensive fallacy and has ended up as a complete failure in Afghanistan".

"In  the end, as the H.I.A official pointed out, "It can also be rightly asserted  that the power-mongers of the West, led by the US, the UK, the French, the  Russians and to some extent even the Germans has in fact harmed Afghans and  Afghanistan more than all the previous adventures of conquerors and their likes  ever did. It would only be factually precise to point out here that if anybody  has done more harm to Afghans and Afghanistan it is the Western global powers  seeking world hegemony by hook or crook and doing all the fiendish things they  have managed to do till today and refuse to accept their follies no matter how  much the condemnation of their invasion and destruction of Afghanistan and the  killing of thousands of innocent and peace-loving Afghans matters - in short it  will not be a mistake to say that Afghanistan has been completely wrecked by  the power-hungry world dominating racist policies and adventures of the West -  led by the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and  their allies and friends".

TOT: Would you like to let our readers know about the difference  between the Taliban and the Hizb e Islami?

§§

"The Taliban and the Hizb-e-Islami are totally different in  their principles and their objectives are apart -- from the one point that is  common between us. Taliban's goal is to take power in Afghanistan whereas Hizb  e Islami wants sovereignty. Hizb e Islami believes in collective measures in  which modernism, gender equality, ethnic and cultural values exist together  that will pave the path of brighter future of an Islamic and democratic  Afghanistan whereas Taliban's concept is based on fundamentalism and  radicalization of the society; Taliban wants to take the power through force  and we believe in taking the power through contesting elections in the country.  Our philosophy is based on reality of pluralism in Islamic democracy where the  Islamic civilization can dialogue with the western civilization. Taliban have  just 15 years old history and they have not in the extended past of Afghanistan  but the Hizb e Islami has a history that have deep affects almost from half  century in Afghanistan. We are struggling for the education of girls and boys  in Afghanistan. Our constitution and policy is totally different with the  Taliban and we want the free and fair elections in Afghanistan for the restoration  and evolution of religious democracy in which there would be representation of  all the political parties. We want strong relations with the world".
