Afghan Blast – Christmas Gift for People of Kabul

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Was it a parting Christmas gift to the poor Muslim people of Afghanistan by the neo-Crusader occupiers of that country from the other side of the world?
The Santa Claus in Washington will never admit that Monday’s dastardly terrorist attack in Kabul which left some 50 people dead and over a hundred injured at the National Authority for People with Disabilities and Martyrs’ Families, was the dirty work of his Takfiri agents, who always manage to slip through the security cordon as if cruising merrily through the air on an explosive lade ubiquitous sleigh that doesn’t need reindeers to make its presence felt.
The latest act of terrorism which happened only two days after US President Donald Trump announced that he is halving his 14,000 occupation forces in Afghanistan, seems to be a message from the White House: ‘Look, our absence is not news to rejoice for you and will make life more miserable for you’.
It is interesting to note that the blast came a day after Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmoud Qureshi left Kabul after holding talks for peace in Afghanistan – the first leg of his 4-nation trip that has already taken him to Tehran and Beijing and end in Moscow.
It is also worth noting that recently Islamabad had helped orchestrate peace talks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where representatives from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the US and Pakistan had met with the Taliban.
Imagine the Americans talking with the very group they have designated as terrorist and had come to Afghanistan to destroy it seventeen years ago, but on the pretext of fighting it (actually unable to fight it), continue to kill unsuspecting civilians, including those attending marriage parties and funeral ceremonies!
This is diplomacy Donald Trump style, and the presence of some of the principal purveyors of terrorism – the Saudis and Emiratis – at the talks in Abu Dhabi, makes it clear of the terrible things in store for Afghanistan which was first occupied exactly 39 years ago on Christmas Day by the Soviet Union.
The occupiers of Afghanistan have long changed from the atheist Red Army to ‘Christian’ Americans, with the active support of their supposedly ‘Muslim’ allies from the British created sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf.
The fact that the building in Kabul which the terrorists targeted supports injured soldiers and the bereaved relatives of members of the security forces killed in years of battles, leaves no doubt that the cowardly perpetrators of the latest mayhem were those who have no regard for the life of the poor Afghan Muslims and will not give them a moment’s respite.
Moreover, the appointment earlier this year of former US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad as Trump’s special adviser to lead the alleged US bid for peace process in Afghanistan, ought to be warning to the people of Afghanistan that their plight will continue as deals are made over their heads without their involvement.
Under the circumstances the government of President Ashraf Ghani finds itself on the horns of dilemma. 
Should it trust the Americans, who have failed to protect the Afghan people from terrorism and all the ills of a war-torn society, or should it initiate talks with Taliban by itself without the involvement of any dubious third parties involves, which had conveniently kept government officials in the dark about the suspicious meeting in Abu Dhabi?
