Today in Afghanistan, the Hanafi mazhab, which is practiced by the majority of people, has become very weak. This is what the Wahhabi Arabs want.

Dr. Sahib Pacha Karimi asks from war-torn Ukraine, "Dr. Sahib, what is the role of the Arabs in the Afghan issue?"
There are two issues to consider in Middle East policy.
Firstly, the spread of Wahhabism in the region, and secondly, the formation of a “Triangle of Sin” in the case of Afghanistan for the survival of Arab sheikhs, the interests of America and Pakistan.
The Wahhabi Arabs, who are in the majority in the Gulf States but do not admit it, have a deep desire to establish Wahhabism in Afghanistan, and they have tried to do so many times.
They first entered Afghanistan during the reign of Amir Sheralikhan, and the scientists of that time expelled them from the country. They came to Afghanistan for the second time during the reign of Amir Abdurahmankhan but again failed and were expelled. Please go to the books "Shahab Saqib" published in the era of Amir Sheralikhan and "Taqvim-ud-Din" of the era of Amir Abdurahmankhan.
The third time they tried to sign an agreement to establish an Islamic center with the late Sardar Daudkhan during his presidency, they again failed and the last time they trapped Ashraf Ghani, and a document was signed to establish an Islamic center in Afghanistan, which aim is the spread of Wahhabism.
Wahhabism is both a madhhab, which no one recognizes and an ideology. Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab spread Arab nationalism under the guise of religion and Sunnah. For example, a Wahhabi, who is not an Arab, wears a long shirt, imitating an Arab, and he was told that this is a Sunnah - a tradition!!! The presence of Wahhabi agents in Afghanistan, as well as the Taliban, is for the benefit of the Arabs. Firstly, it is a barrier to ideological confrontation with Iranian Shiism, and secondly, it is a shield for the survival of the sheikhs of the Gulf.
If Afghanistan manages to create a real democratic system, its influence in the region will be very strong, and the kingdoms of the sheikhs will disappear one by one. All this hostility towards women and control over the brains by the Taliban is Wahhabi thinking, and opposing Iran is all the same Wahhabi thinking and an attempt to plant and dominate Wahhabi thinking.
After the oil and gas gusher in the 20th century, the Saudis came under the protection of the United States, and the US monopolized gas and oil, and in return supports Saudi Arabia from a military point of view. Please refer to the book Blood and Oil by Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck.
The issue of a contract with the Taliban was supported by Saudi Arabia, and the participation of Qatar, which wants to play a role in regional politics, is one of the Arab political initiatives in Afghanistan, so there can never be a people's system in Afghanistan. Because the popular system in Afghanistan does not serve the interests of the Arabs in the region and it has a clear domino effect. If the late Amanullah's desire for freedom sparked India's desire for freedom, and the Afghan jihad played a major role in the collapse of the USSR, then the alliance of Saudi Arabia and Arab sheikhs with Pakistan, which has an atomic bomb, with US support, created a "triangle of sin" in the Afghan issue. Saudi money, American weapons and the implementation of Arab intentions by the Pakistanis who take money to implement these programs. Afghanistan, as during jihad, was a cash cow for Pakistan and continues to be so.
Today in Afghanistan, the Hanafi madhhab, which is practiced by most people, has become very weak. This is what the Wahhabi Arabs want.
The Taliban came to power with the support of Saudi Arabia, America, and Pakistan, i.е. “triangle of sin”, and all three countries have their own interests in Afghanistan. As a result, Afghanistan has become a victim of the “triangle of sin”, the plans of which are carried out by their agent, the Taliban.
