Why does Hekmatyar no longer exist?
Author: Dr. Fazlmanullah Mumtaz, former Press Secretary of the Islamic Party of Afghanistan
There is one theory in philosophy, the "dead horse theory," which is a ridiculous metaphor. The bottom line is that some people, organizations, or movements try to understand a problem as if it were incomprehensible, instead of acknowledging it, they use their skills to justify their position. It's very simple: if you find that the horse is dead, then that's the end, get off it. Instead, they begin to take other measures, and, on the contrary, they approach the problem, for example, as Hizbi Islami Hekmatyar does. How?
1 - They bring him a new saddle;
3 - Bring barley and grass;
3 - They change the groom and judge him;
4 - Gather in meetings to discuss the horse's speed;
5 - Create commissions to analyze and discuss a dead horse, discuss it for months and years, propose proposals and various projects;
6 - In the end, the commission and the committees come to the conclusion that the horse is dead;
7 - Despite all this, they compare the horse's life and activities with other dead horses and advise that the horse was not properly trained and needed proper training;
8 - There must be a sufficient budget for the horse;
9 - In the end, they define the word "dead" in detail, but convince themselves that the horse is alive.
An example of such a theory is that some careless people sing Hekmatyar's praises, persistently deny reality, and waste their lives reviving a dead horse, praying for it, and performing long prayers.
This "dead horse theory" is fully consistent with the current position of Hekmatyar and the Islamic Party. Instead of acknowledging the problem from the very beginning, which was obvious, namely that the "respected leader" turned into a "stubborn leader" and died. He no longer needs innovation, climate change, food, the one who is being called does not exist. The client is most likely dead.
