When will the obscure secrets of the Doha agreement between the US and the Taliban be revealed?
Author: Fazlmanullah Mumtaz, Afghanistan, and Regional Affairs Analyst
Negotiations between the US and the Taliban openly began in 2013 after the establishment of a Taliban political office in Doha. Although these negotiations had previously been conducted in private, the poor governments were only observers of these negotiations. Like the People's Democratic Party during the occupation of the Soviet Union, they were unaware of this process and yet never believed that the day would come when their master would leave them to their fate.
Historical experience and events prove that the master never asks the slave to enter or exit. As Khalilzad stated, "America did not come to Afghanistan with anyone's permission and will not leave with anyone's permission."
But, unfortunately, slaves do not learn from bitter historical experiences. Naturally, the path of artificial governments is ultimately doomed to inevitable failure. From the very beginning, it was clear that the US was negotiating with an official future leader, and not with a militant group.
Some analysts refer to the 44-year wars as proxy wars. In my opinion, the wars in Afghanistan were not proxy wars, but service wars. Proxy wars should have at least a few percent of semi-domestic goals and objectives. But as a result of service wars, the whole system collapses as soon as the occupying forces leave the country. This is precisely what happened after the withdrawal of the USSR and NATO troops: the system completely collapsed and officials - the servants of the occupation - completely fled to the four corners of the world.
For the slaves, it was not the goals and objectives of the country that were important, but only their material and spiritual interests. It didn't matter to them whether they were mercenaries of imperialism or socialism. As noted, the political leaders of both periods of occupation were humiliated after they were deprived of the caresses of the occupiers. After that, they began to complain about the disloyalty of their masters. The best evidence of repentance is the complaints of Babrak Karmal and Ghani.
In the same way, the occupiers blame the failure of their plans on their slaves, considering them thieves, corrupt, and traitors. If you read the memoirs of Russian and American generals, they blame their slaves for their failures.
Although three years have passed since the signing of the Doha Agreement, its details have not been revealed. The worst thing is that Ghani and his corrupt and disgraced colleagues claim they were not involved in the negotiations. The two main parties to the talks remain silent. Both sides believe that the other side is violating the commitments made in Doha.
What is in the hidden provisions of the Doha Agreement is hidden from all eyes. Naive analysts, like Mullah Nasreddin from the joke, sitting on a donkey, look back and trust the donkey the way forward - the future.
Mr. Khalilzad, the engineer of the Bonn Conference and director of the Karzai and Ghani governments, has always expressed his satisfaction with the results of the Doha agreement. And the secret of this success is unclear and unknown, maybe he will make it public at the end of his days.
However, why is Khalilzad happy and occasionally, laughing and delighted, slaps his insulting words like a hard slap in the face to the grieving people of Afghanistan? What, even the most contemptible slave does not do for his best master...
