Being in the country of hypocrites I should strictly abide to the rules & regulation but zipping lips won’t really end our miseries. An ostrich hides his head or a pigeon closes her eyes thinking they are safe but it does not really work that way.
War in sub-continent is not a new thing. It dates back to the Bronze Age. Every century has war years & this entire geographic location is in fact the main battlefield of the world. Coming to this new age, War has taken a new form with help of advance technologies & weapons. It all depends on how the country, region or division controls its situations & what solutions they find on how to attack the neighboring location or how to plot a defense strategy against it. The global war on terror is fought against the same group of people who used to be their favorite Mujahedeen’s. When Afghans were fighting the soviet occupation, America, Pakistan & it`s allies supported, funded & helped them with artillery & soldiers. Mr. Ronald Reagan dedicated the space shuttle mission to the Afghans saying HEY! They are defending their home, they fighting for their religion, honor & freedom. Let us give stand for them & give them a helping hand, Let us help them while under-table it was all about America`s bitter meal with Soviet Union.
And when finally the soviets were defeated America & its allies including some Saudi mujahedeen’s went back to their own drawing board & started creating new projects while Afghanistan was like an orphan land. Criminals from every ethnic group in Afghanistan pounced on the little treasure that was left, sending the country into a civil war that ravaged the nation from inside & ripped its honor from outside. Little honor that was left was protected by the Taliban when they rebelled against a commander in Kandahar province whose soldiers raped innocent village woman.Taliban were less in number but with faith & pashtunwalai in heart they conquered their fears & suppression to fight against this evil injustice done to the Pashtun people. Pakistan with its 1950 Pak-Afghan rivalry in mind & well-aware of the fact that it violated the Durand line treaty in the 50`s & in the 80`s sought an opportunity to control & subjugate Afghans creating a puppet government inside Afghanistan by sending its army high ranked officers, majors, colonels & soldiers within the Taliban creating an entirely new division of Taliban inside the Kabul government. As Pakistan was a good friend of Saudi royal families so it allowed the Saudi fighters & Mr. Bin laden to enter Afghanistan again from Peshawar & Quetta. ((They were accepted as guests in Afghan lands & always will be because Mailma (a guest) is like a face of GOD in pashtun culture so they must be fed & protected.
This act was to make the Afghan nation forget Durand line treaty & on a higher note this step was to secure its western border from Indian influence of plotting schemes against Pakistan nation. So the atrocities continued across the Afghan nation while Punjab nation slept peacefully in the hours. A moment of worry hit Pakistan when in 2000 a delegation of Taliban met Pakistani high-ranked officers in Islamabad where they clearly asked for the removal of Durand line so it can be a free trade zone & they believed that there should be no boundaries between Pashtun people or Islamic nations. This was like a scene from a horror movie we don’t want to watch for the Pakistan government. Here things slightly got out of hands when America planned the WTC plane crash incident & launched a war on terror & attacked Afghanistan to get rid of Al-Qaeda & the so called evil regime of Taliban. A main point in the starting of this war was the assassination of Ahmed Shah Masood, commander of Northern alliance because he surely would had stood against American occupation the way he stood against Soviet invasion joining hands with Pashtun & other ethnic divisions of Afghanistan to fight infidels.
This war on terror or War of terror (I should add) was all staged ages back. America just wants an excuse to be in this region. With another Author Idea called Operation enduring turmoil we can easily understand the benefits of this region as it’s the gateway to east & west. Now coming back to the role of Pakistan, After America threaten Pakistan of sending it back to stone-age (which they don’t know that the 2 provinces Balochistan & Pashtunkhwa life standard still matches stone-age) Pakistan deserted the Taliban & became America`s most important ally in the war on terror. The new millennium was like a déjà-vu of the past millenniums. War, in the start of every century that has passed Afghan region became the battlefield once again in the chapters of time. In the 10 year of the war on terror Afghans still are suffering by the hands of the countries that once masked themselves as well-wishers of the afghan nation. Now every country is taking its benefits from this land. China, Israel, Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia, England & America. I am not adding much of the euro countries because we all know they do what their master tell them to do & the funniest thing now we read is Taliban attacking Muslims. This does not really make any sense. Taliban were supposed to kill infidels only & here they killing their own Muslim brothers. This is the point where the real game comes into play. With my limited set of ideas or knowledge I`ll try to expose the inner reality of the current situation.
The majority of Suicide bombing in Afghanistan & Pakistan are done by intelligence agencies of these countries as the result of a proxy war between them. There are various types of Taliban currently in action. Indian funded militants that are in Swat, upper regions of Pakistan & In Balochistan to create civil unrest & destabilize Pakistan. American & British funded militants so they can have their own reason to be in the regions, showing the world that they still fighting Taliban & al-Qaeda. China & Russia playing its own part of the game by funding some groups to put America & its allies on complete halt from advancing into their most favorite & shortest zone of trade (the Arabian Sea ports). Iran being the silent observer & a player, is just funding some of the extremist fighters to keep Sunni influence or Baloch separation movement suppressed. Pakistan the most important piece, the rook of this great game has played on much greater stage. It made its own militants & Taliban so it can try to control Afghanistan as it used to while on the other hand it will keep on asking for AID & funds with its own created extremist movements Pakistan is also trying to hold American & Indian militants at bay.
The real Taliban who fought the Soviet Union or those who gave Afghan country a government that eradicated drug trade, criminals or violence dispersed across the region fighting the enemies of its Pashtun or Afghan nation. For now they are like the lost page of history, waiting to be discovered again with a strong belief that they will come in new form, rise to power & defeat the enemies of Afghanistan aw Pashtunistan someday.
