Which way is going Anti-Taliban resistance?
Author: Abdul Naser Noorzad, security and geopolitics researcher, especially for "Sangar"
After the organized collapse of The US and NATO made Republic, the Taliban regime regained control over Afghanistan. In the first days of the fall of the government in the hands of the Taliban, several axes of so-called resistance were formed. Basically, as it was expected that the situation would change over time and new fronts would be created to put more pressure on the Taliban and capture some specific geography from the hands of the insurgents and actually enter the phase of direct war with the Taliban, but unfortunately, it has not been seen yet. The main question is why the resistance against the Taliban is not formed? Why does the resistance mostly end up asking for pity, complaining and falling into the arms of the United Nations? And finally, why is resistance not an alternative for the Taliban in the battlefield and politics?
Basically, these questions are the main points that are raised about the current resistance. I would like to present the following points to present a new perspective in this regard, with thematic and content reflection on the theme of resistance and its future:
- In the eyes of the resistance fighters who claim to resist the Taliban, a fundamental and correct understanding of the concept of political power, the process of acquiring it, and the insight necessary to maintain and expand it, which is based on historical experiences and includes our vulnerabilities, does not exist. It means that the current resistance does not have any claims on political power and only considers the slogan of the resistance as an assumption and is observing the situation from the outside. If so, this process should have been very meaningful and accompanied by political insight and a plan for a possible stage after the Taliban's acquisition of power and defeat would have been formulated, and based on this manifesto, the essence and nature of war and struggle in the axis of a resistance movement an explanation was given. But unfortunately, there is such a big gap in this axis, and how do we know that the day after the victory against the Taliban, the cycle of the Ban sit-in will not be repeated, and our people will not fall into the path of functional and daily misguidance, and will not fall prey to ethnic politics?
- There is no political narrative in the axis of the current resistance, and if there is, it is much unknown and it has been lost in the midst of meaningless nationalism and fraternity combined with tricks from our enemies. This sort of defeat and the lack of maturity of a political plan that should be based on a narrative and clarify the task of resistance and the future of the fight against the Taliban, has caused us to not have a clear picture and a convincing answer to the functional and mental challenges surrounding the resistance process. . In other words; Or it is not something that is not, and if it is a little, it does not have anything new in the bag to find a buyer and pull us out of this conceptual confusion in the resistance campaign;
- For every fight and war, charisma, reasonable leadership with high operational capability, clear purpose of war and motivating for the fighters are considered as a principle and without it, no fight will be successful. Accordingly, in the current resistance, the principle of command is missing and it is not clear who gives orders and who should obey and why should they obey?
- Our conventional understanding today of resistance, compromising with the past, building with the current era of tyranny, agreeing with the existing oppression, bearing the atrocities imposed on the people, and obeying the empty historical promises that our enemy has made at any point in time.. This political tactic of the enemy has put us in the trap of an unwanted deal and at the end of the day and drags us to the sidelines of big political deals;
- The current resistance is lost in the smoke and dust of the competition between East and West, and its spirit is wandering. In other words; the current resistance is neither eastern nor western. It is neither with the region nor with the extra region. The resistance office is in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, traveling and participating in European conferences. Meeting with the Russians and asking for help from The US and its western allies, which is the cause of the current misery and Afghanistan's falling into the lap of ethnic terrorism and tribal hegemony. Basically, this zigzag movement has trapped us in a dilemma and pushes us to the sidelines every day in the calculations of the great powers of the East and the West;
- The current resistance process, which should be more armed, adventurous, with the aim of gaining political power through gun barrels, full of messages and calls for struggle, aggressive and accompanied by an irreconcilable spirit, on the contrary, we have been refined through political means. And we use the usual inflection during peacetime. Rather than a war stance, we act politically, and we have substituted supplication and interaction for stubbornness and combativeness. Sometimes we reach out to the United Nations; sometimes we send a message of help hoping for The US to restore us to the political throne. We have used empty slogans such as democracy, people's self-determination, meaningless nationalism, women's rights, the right to work and education for them, etc. Do we expect to win the Nobel Peace Prize after the end of the war and the fight against the Taliban?! What new and fateful message do we have that we are waiting for victory?
- The enemy tries to suppress a particular lineage with the ethnic narrative. Taliban prisons are full of 20,000 Tajik prisoners, and ethnic repression has become a targeted policy of the Taliban terrorist regime. We call everyone, even our enemies, as brothers and demand tolerance and compromise with them. The enemy calls us scumbags, fugitives... Should we still call ourselves Afghans?! With this way and view, unfortunately, we cannot hope for victory and a bright tomorrow. This is the big flaw in our work. We have not been able to organize and implement the siege and suppression operation of the enemy, which is of an ethnic nature, with the counterattack of the siege and suppression, which should basically be tailored to the ethnic needs. We have a senseless fear of the ethnicization of the current struggle;
- The fifth column, in the form of termites and very active, deals with the disclosure of operational and war secrets. He regularly coordinates the position of fighters and guerrillas for the enemy, and the enemy targets them in a targeted and systematic manner. With such a big information gap, can we hope to win this asymmetric war? Should we fight against terrorism and make our people and descent a source of hope?
What should we do?
Let's make the resistance out of the crisis of meaning, lack of political narrative, reluctance and luxury and ornamentation. Strive for active leadership. Let's create the necessary charisma to create a disciplined war chain that is based on the principle of effective command. Avoid selfishness, self-absorption, self-conceit, nepotism, love of wealth, rejection of others and isolation of an active and motivated majority that can be effective for the flow and axis of resistance and victory in the current war. . The meaning of resistance is to stand up against the carnal airs and self-abnegation, which is considered a great and objective obligation. Not what is going on today and is the only victim of our share and that's it. The main goal of the resistance is the happiness of the people who are crushed and kneaded under the sword of ethnic tyranny and fascism. First, we should pay attention to the meaning and then understand the content and start working.
