Why do they talk about division and not unity?
Author: Ahmad Saidi, an analyst on Afghanistan and regional issues (Germany), especially for Sangar
My message to them, or in other words, to the politicians of yesterday and today who were or are in power, but they are still beating the drum of hostility and discord.
Some of them still have not learned lessons from their shameful past and still do not think about a better future, they still sow hatred towards each other.
I am sure that without reciprocity we will not achieve anything, whether you believe it or not is up to you to decide.
I want to ask you a question here!
Can we be tolerant of each other?
Tolerance is often used against hatred and hostility. What is our path to salvation and happiness: tolerance or hatred, humiliation, and elimination?
The word "tolerance" is both simple and attractive - every politician and cultural figure calls on others to be "tolerant" as a slogan. In fact, "tolerance" means sufferance, resulting in strength, power, and salvation, which is difficult to realize in practice.
If we tell the leaders and politicians of the last half century of Afghanistan to be tolerant of each other, what message are we sending them?
The extent of their recognition of truth, their conscience for justice, and their need for love and unity must be measured, and each must admit that they have been the cause of enmity, strife, misfortune, and migrations.
They filled all the colorful pages of the history of our country with the blood of the children of this land, and they all must apologize to the country and people.
At a time when even one meter of Afghan territory is not in the hands of opponents of the Taliban, some of them chant the slogan of Lui (Great) Afghanistan and say that they lay claim to Pakhtunkhwa and Quetta. Some people talk about Khorasan! Some are talking about division, and some want to erase and destroy the ethnic groups and languages of others. Is it possible to create tolerance and mutual understanding in this way?
In any case, in the dimension of tolerance, they must create all the bases for unification on a culture of tolerance and what they want for themselves, they must want for others.
If you call the leader of one group a murderer, don't expect them to call your leader a hero.
For example, will the Jamiat Islami of Afghanistan have the common sense and faith to call the Taliban leader Ameer al-Mu'minin, so that the Taliban will also call Ustad Burhanuddin Rabbani a martyr of peace and martyr Ahmad Shah Massoud a National Hero?
Are the Taliban ready to call Ahmad Shah Massoud a national hero so that the Jamiaties call the Taliban leader especially Mullah Omar Amir al-Muminin?
Likewise, will the followers of Ustad Abduali Mazari and the National Movement of Marshal Abdurashid Dostum show such mutual tolerance towards the Taliban, Khalq, Parcham, and other groups?
If this hypothesis is unacceptable, do you know of another tolerance hypothesis? Or do you chant slogans of prosperity, freedom, independence, pride, and development with a culture of revolution, destruction, condemnation, and humiliation of each other?
I believe none of the previous systems can be an example, just like the current system. In Afghanistan, democratic governments have been dictatorial, and jihadist and Islamic governments, including the Taliban government, have cut off the nose of jihad and Islam. Technocrats with corruption, embezzlement, and unbridledness, were in alliance with ISIS during the day, with the West at night, and with the Taliban in the evening. None of them showed the nature of the political system he wanted. Or rather, their images were displayed in the mirror of their actions.
Therefore, it is better to confess your sins say goodbye to the past, and be tolerant.
No one can rule Afghanistan without tolerance, whether in the past or now with the Taliban in power.
Let us put aside group and class struggle and choose a type of political system with a culture of mutual understanding and tolerance, which was not the slogan of any group after Daudhan.
I have concluded that cursing, insulting, and destroying are not the solution, only reconciliation and tolerance are the solution.
