The former president's mission is to strengthen the presence of both Europe and the Pashtuns in Afghanistan.

Hamed Karzai was recently in Germany. Ostensibly for medical treatment, but he came to discuss the formulating political program, and some Persian-speaking Republicans, including Rangin Dadfar Spanta, also accompanied him to meetings in German cities.
I will not go into the details of this program and its participants. The initiative for holding the meetings belonged to the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's think tank belonging to the Christian Democratic Party of Germany. Karzai not only met with representatives of the Foreign Ministry and the German secret service but also met with representatives of MI6 and high-ranking officials, including from the Foreign Ministry, during his trip to the UK.
He returned to Kabul and plans to return to Germany in January to create an "opposition" against the Taliban group.
Why Karzai?
It is no secret that the Taliban has been a Western project for the past three years, especially the Anglo-Saxons. Until now, Western liberal democrats led by Biden have been actively negotiating with the Taliban through the CIA.
After Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, Washington is suspicious of liberal Europe, especially since a significant number of European leaders interfered in the US elections in favor of the Democrats, and Trump and his team cannot forget about it.
On the other hand, Great Britain is trying to remain the standard-bearer of neoliberalism with the help of the "City of London" and global capital. The leaders of Germany, whether Social Democrats or Christian Democrats, or Greens and Liberal Democrats, are all neoliberals who are trying to be on several fronts against Russia and China, as well as against the United States.
The US of the Trump era is least interested in conflicts in various geopolitical spheres of the world, and more in achieving the results of the "conservative" revolution that will soon begin in the US the purpose of which is to weaken liberal democracy.
The Europeans, led by Britain, wanted to take under their wing some of the forces that previously worked in the sphere of American interests. In the events in Ukraine, the Middle East, the Caucasus, as well as in Central Asia, the dummy role of Britain and its allies was noticeable.
Now they are bringing Karzai, whom they know well, onto the playing field. For the last three years, the "National Resistance Front" had a loud name, but it was unclear what it wanted. It united with people loyal to Karzai, and they realized that the front was very weak, and the Tajiks and Persian-speaking peoples did not have a single, purposeful, well-planned, and motivated center of struggle and even negotiations.
In the past, Karzai, both before and during his rule, has always been friends with the remnants of the Islamic Society and Shurae Nazzar and even enjoyed the support of its key figures. On the other hand, Karzai enjoys authority among other ethnic structures that are present in the National Council of Resistance today. It is no secret that a significant part of the political, military, and cultural structures of the Tajiks operate in Great Britain, and the intelligence of this country knows how disunited the Persian-speaking peoples are.
Therefore, they want to activate Karzai to maintain the power of the Afghans in a joint structure with the Taliban in a new project. The project has two goals at the same time: one is to prevent the disintegration of the Afghans in inter-tribal competition, and the other is to perpetuate the dominance of the Afghans over non-Afghan peoples.

The movement for the right to self-determination of the Persian-speaking peoples in the false geography of Afghanistan has a clear plan for the liberation of the people by rejecting Afghan power and Afghanism. Likewise, the Afghans have a firm plan to continue their dominance and move from one foreign project to another.
***
If the "Karzai Project" is realized, all hopes will be shattered and the boundaries with those who are waiting for an opportunity in foreign projects will be clear.
Our path to the right to determine the fate of the Persian-speaking peoples is the right one, and we will win!
