A person who sees one crow can say that he saw forty ravens. This means that everyone makes stories about an event with a specific purpose.

Three issues are being discussed in the news these days: the tales of how Afghanistan fell, the genies' swearing allegiance to the Taliban in burning people's houses, and Afghanistan's independence. I wrote about the burning of people's houses, and that the jinn is the same Kashmiri wolves, through which the Pashtuns want to implement the charter of the Naqilins (Pashtun southern settlers) to the north of Afghanistan. Let's skip the topic of independence. Because we are not a nation and did not become one. The Hazara, Tajik, Uzbek, and other regions have been under the rule and aggression of the Pashtun people for years.
Aggression and domination do not lead to a national feeling and national unity. Modern nations are built on the coexistence of cultural and social differences and political participation. To give an example: in the provinces of Bamiyan and Daikundi, the majority of the population is Hazara, and in these two provinces, from the governor to the chief of police, etc., they are Pashtuns. Hazara has no right to hold a position in his house. Is this attitude not aggression and domination of one people over another? This ethnic aggression and domination determine not only the fate of the Hazaras but also determines and will continue to determine the fate of the Tajiks and Uzbeks.
In this note, I intend to talk about how Afghanistan fell. A person who sees one crow can say that he saw forty ravens. This means that everyone makes stories about an event with a specific purpose. Corrupt civil servants like Muhib, Fazli, Alizai, etc. want to create narratives and stories after a year of downfall. It is very funny when Alizay says that he did not run away, but emigrated.
It is true that the downfall of the Afghan government was caused by internal factors. This factor was corruption at different levels: 1 - administrative and structural corruption; 2 - financial corruption; 3 - ethnic corruption and 4 - sexual corruption.
Administrative and structural corruption in the sense that there was no transparency in the recruitment of employees and the division of seats in the government. Most importantly, state institutions, including electoral ones, did not have independence. Both Karzai and Ghani bypassed the election commissions and seized power on ethnic grounds. In recent elections, Ghani did not follow any electoral principles, even formal ones, and won the presidential election with one and a half million votes, which were also rigged.
Karzai distributed aid from foreign countries in the form of ethnic quotas. A share of more than sixty percent was taken by him in favor of the Pashtuns. He gave a few percent of the share of Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, etc. to Fahim, Khalili, Dostum, etc. But the few percentage shares that Karzai gave to the leaders of the Tajik, Hazara, and Uzbek ethnicities, Ghani cut off and divided them all between his environment, that is, on himself, his wife, Muhib, Fazli, etc. Corrupt Karzai was an aristocrat who tried to give everyone a bone. Ghani was stingy with corruption and theft, he wanted everything for himself. Therefore, foreign aid was not used for social and nation-building.
Ethnic corruption was one of the main issues that led to Afghanistan being handed over to the Taliban. Ghani has driven ethnic corruption to a peak in income distribution, appointments, and even education. The judiciary, the leadership of the prosecutor's office, and the court were freed from representatives of other ethnic groups. He fired Tajik, Hazara, and Uzbek generals from the Ministry of Defense. Ethnic quotas were introduced at civilian and military universities to prevent the entry of Hazaras, Tajiks, and Uzbeks. He made the Arg (Afghan presidential office) completely Pashtun. He freed the Taliban prisoners and finally handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban purely out of ethnic feelings.
All were involved in the process of sexual corruption. On one occasion, security officials went to rescue the Kabul mayor of the Ghani government, Dawood Sultanzui, from sexual molestation in a residential settlement. Everyone knows about the sexual ambitions of Fazli, who dedicated some seats in parliament to the “heroines” of his sexual corruption roman. You must remember the evidence of sexual harassment by Sargand, Ghani's adviser from Nargis Nihan. Sargand is seventy-five years old. He told the girl that if she doesn't have sex with him, she will be fired, but if she does it, she will become the boss, they will give her a car and a bodyguard. Nargis with a group of women goes to Gani and complains, but he does not listen to them. Ghani had several thousand advisers, some of whom were hired by Fazli and Muhib, and the job of these advisers was pimping for Fazli, Moheb, etc.
The government of this corrupt circle would have fallen anyway, and this fall was predictable due to the pervasive corruption that exists.
