I strongly believe the only solution to end the United States’ longest war is for the United States to hold direct talks with the Afghan Freedom Fighters. The bombardment and massacring of the Afghan /Pashtun villagers will not result in a U.S. win and an end to the war for the American and Afghan people.
Recently, a number of senior U.S. officials have been bragging that the war in Afghanistan can be won.
Secretary of Defense James Mattis, General Dunford, and former CIA Director and Secretary of State nominee, Mike Pompeo, at various meetings, have said that the military strategy of Trump is going to be successful and significant progress has been made in Afghanistan.
That is simply not based in reality on the ground. The Trump strategy is the escalated targeting and massacring of the Afghan/Pashtun villagers, who are the majority native population of Afghanistan, who reside in the areas especially Helmand Province, where the vast deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are located.
Trump wants to control and exploit the REEs (which are worth trillions and a vital supply chain for the U.S.) and the Afghan/Pashtun villagers are seen as the roadblock. General Nicholson is lying to Congress and the American people when he says that the war in Afghanistan can be won.
It is time that Congress hear both sides of the war. Which so far has only been the perspective of the war profiteers and the generals. Congress needs to allow Afghan/Pashtun villagers and independent journalists to testify at hearings about what is happening on the ground.
Does a purported U.S. “win” mean peace, no more war and no more U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, which is what the American people are led to believe? Or does General Nicholson’s and the Trump administration’s “win” mean continued occupation of Afghanistan and control of the Afghan government, the genocide of the Afghan/Pashtun villagers and the U.S. control and exploitation of their REEs by any means necessary even through the escalation of an illegal war/occupation and commission of war crimes against the Afghan/Pashtun villagers?
As a diversion strategy to distract the American public and Congress from what is really happening in Afghanistan, the massacring of Afghan/Pashtun villagers in the REE rich-areas (all Americans now know that Trump is good as such deflection strategies), the Trump Administration has initiated the idea of peace talks, which are the same futile ideas used by prior U.S. administrations.
The Trump administration’s urging of peace talks between the Afghan Freedom Fighters and the Afghan administration will not work because the Afghan administration is seen by the majority as a puppet controlled by the United States Likewise, The United States ‘ forcing Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia into pressuring the Afghan Freedom Fighters to talk with the Afghan puppet Administration and paying Pakistan to bombard Afghanistan with rockets will not result in an end to the war.
This longest war has cost Americans trillions of dollars in debt. The U.S. administration’s forcing talks between the Afghan Freedom Fighters and the U.S. paid war criminal, “the Butcher of Kabul”, Gulbuldeen Hekmatyr, will not work.
It is common knowledge amongst the Afghan majority that the Afghan Freedom Fighters will not talk with the Butcher of Kabul. The U.S. administration is using Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan to politically and monetarily push these talks. Having countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia send troops to Afghanistan will also not bring peace.
I strongly believe the only solution to end the United States’ longest war is for the United States to hold direct talks with the Afghan Freedom Fighters. The bombardment and massacring of the Afghan /Pashtun villagers will not result in a U.S. win for the American and Afghan people.
No win will result from the escalated killing of Afghan/Pashtun villagers. Presently, the United States is bombarding the Afghan villages, innocent civilians, using uranium -tipped weaponry, illegal bombs with radioactive materials and other new types of bombs and weaponry. With Russia and Iran still in Syria supporting the criminal dictator, Asad, the United States has lost and cannot defeat him. It cannot win there.
The war mongering U.S. generals are moving the troops into Afghanistan and focusing their anger and revenge onto the Afghan villagers, because they along with Trump so desperately want to win. Everyday the United States, NATO, its mercenaries, and its selected Afghan administration puppet have shown that they cannot fight the Afghan villagers on the ground. When the U.S. forces lose the battle on the ground they bombard the Afghan villages.
On April 2, 2018, the U.S. bombed a school in the Dasht-e-Archi District in Kunduz Province and civilian homes killing 250 Afghan/Pashtun children/students, teachers and villagers. These war crimes are occurring everyday in Afghan/Pashtun villages.
On February 24, 2018 the U.S. and its agents bombed a school and civilian homes in the village, Bala Buluk, Gang Abad, Farah Province killing 10 civilians including children. On November 20, 2017, Afghan villagers reported that 21 students, many children, were massacred by U.S. special operation forces along with forces from the Afghan Puppet Administration in Maidan Wardak Province.
These villagers also reported that the teachers at this religious school were seized by these forces. On November 21, 2017, it has also been reported that many Afghan villagers/civilians were killed in by U.S. bombs in the Districts of Musa Qala and Dishu, and many other locations in Helmand Province.
The majority of these bombings are all occurring in Helmand Province, where the known vast deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are located. These Afghan villagers are seen as the only resistance to the control and exploitation of the REEs by the United States and the war profiteers. Although U.S. General Niocholson tells the media and the American people that these are drug labs that the U.S. is bombing, it is really about the control of the REEs and not terrorism.
The United States just continues to hide the facts. The innocent Afghan villagers continue to suffer. On one day in Kunduz Province, in Chardara District, the U.S. and its cohorts dropped 216 bombs on villagers destroying 46 villages. Please see the attached videos, which have been posted on Facebook by Afghan villagers documenting these crimes.
To justify the bombardment of the Afghan villages, the U.S. is spreading propaganda that there are new terrorists groups in Afghanistan without any proof. The only terrorists roaming the Afghan villages are mercenaries/thugs and warlords contracted by the U.S. and its selected Afghan administration.
Afghan children are especially the victims of this ugly U.S. war and occupation. Afghan puppet administration officials, funded and supported by the United States, are bringing poor Afghan children to guest houses “brothels” where they are sexually molested. It is common knowledge that many of these houses are paid for with U.S. monies.
These crimes and corruption must be the number one focus of investigations. Afghan medical doctors in hospitals such as Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Kabul, who have treated these children, have told me about these crimes. These medical doctors are afraid to report these crimes to the government officials for fear of retaliation. How shameful! These doctors need to be brought to the United States to testify before an investigative committee.
It is time for the Afghan villagers to take legal action and prosecute the American war profiteering generals and all of the government leaders and officials, who are responsible for these war crimes. Independent experts need to go on the ground in these Afghan villages to investigate and to document the weaponry that is being used by the U.S. and its cohorts.
As history has shown, Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. I believe that may happen to the United States if Americans do not wake up. With President Trump, who appears to be the Russia’s selected puppet, the war will escalate. There is no winning for the U.S. which is exactly what Putin wants. The Trump Administration is not letting the American people know what really is happening in the war which is evidenced in the Pentagon’s refusal to release the Afghanistan’s war data, which has always been done in the past.
As a democracy, the people have a right to know. In his State of the Union address, Trump did not talk too much about Afghanistan and Russia because he has everything to hide about these two issues. Our democracy is of the people, by the people and for the people. Trump thinks it is all about him I believe the special prosecutor’s investigation will show that Donald Trump is a national traitor that needs to be impeached for his collusion with the Russians and obstruction of the investigation.
After talking with UN officials, on January 29th Trump announced that his administration would not talk with the Taliban. Trump thinks he can win this ugly, illegal war in Afghanistan, which has not been won despite almost 17 years of fighting. Furthermore, he said that the United States would have to finish what it started. What Trump has started since he took office is an escalation of the war and violence.
Under his administration more than 4,200 bombs (including the unlawful mother of all bombs) have been dropped on Afghan villagers mainly in Pashtun areas where the vast deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and other natural resources are located. Trump perpetuates and escalates war because he does not know what war is.
He does not understand the ugliness war causes. He only knows greed and the art of bragging. How could Trump know war? He is a coward, who did everything he could to run away from war and dodge the draft and not fight in the Vietnam War. He does not send his children to war. Trump sends them to Africa to shoot endangered species.
Trump yells about others killing people left and right including women and children. During the past 17 years, Afghan villagers, many women and children, have been killed left and right in their villages, while sleeping, playing, eating, praying, attending weddings, studying etc. by the U.S. forces, its Afghan administration forces, its paid war criminals and warlords like Rashid Dostum and other paid thugs, and its mercenaries/private contractors. Since Trump took office he has escalated this cowardly killing. Trump’s lust for the REE’s is the reason the violence is perpetuated and escalated.
Peace not war is the answer. Sincere direct talks between the U.S. and the Afghan Freedom Fighters and not bombs dropped on Afghan villages is the path to peace. If there ever will be any peace or peace process in Afghanistan the United Nations does not need to be involved. These past seventeen years have shown that the UN is a puppet on U.S. string. I realized this earlier in my journey for peace. On September 30, 2012, while I was in Afghanistan when I met with Dr. Talatbek Masadykov, Director of Political Affairs for UNAMA (United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan), he told me that his agency cannot do anything without the United States’ approval.
I believe the United Nations Pugwash does not need to be involved in the peace process because they really work for the U.S., who pays the largest portion of the UN budget. The United States is using United Nations especially UNAMA to do its dirty work and coverup war crime. The genocide, ethnic cleansing, massacring, torturing, raping, disappearing, slaughtering of several hundred thousand innocent Afghan/Pashtun villagers are war crimes and human rights violations. The United States, NATO, the puppet Ghani and their governments and others have committed war crimes in Afghanistan during these past seventeen years.
During these past seventeen years, the UN Security Council, who is a puppet of the United States and other superpowers, observed as the United States and NATO has waged its illegal invasion of Afghanistan and war against the Afghan villagers. The UN concealed and did nothing about the war crimes committed by the United States and its puppets and mercenaries, and NATO against the Afghans. Now, the UN is watching as the Trump administration escalates its war crimes against the Afghan Pashtun villagers. It did nothing about the mother of all bombs being dropped on the Achin District or the current massacring of Afghan Pashtun villagers in the Helmand Province and other Pashtun areas. The United Nations has no business to speak on behalf of the Afghan villagers about peace when its inaction and actions show otherwise.
The UN Security Council is the voice of the United States, other superpowers and the war profiteers. Only after Trump learned from the Pentagon about Afghanistan’s rare earth elements (REEs) deposits worth trillions did he decide to stay in Afghanistan- a war the U.S. has lost. Now, while the U.S. under the Trump Administration and NATO escalate the war against and the massacring of Afghan/Pashtun villagers in Helmand and other mainly Pashtun areas where the super majority of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are located, the UN holds a meeting on January 19, 2018 to talk about the future of Afghanistan and peace.
The UN, the superpowers, Afghanistan’s greedy Central Asian neighbors and the Afghan puppets and other war profiteers talk about peace and security, because they want a piece of the REE pie. They all want to exploit the Afghan/Pashtun villagers’ REEs and other mineral wealth. The only roadblock to this successful exploitation is the Afghan Pashtun villagers in the Helmand Province, where almost all of the vast untapped REEs worth trillions are located.
They are fighting to defend their homeland, their families and their mineral wealth from being exploited by superpowers, greedy neighbors, other war profiteers and northern alliance warlords. The Afghan Pashtun villagers are the native, indigenous people of Afghanistan. It is their is their land especially the REE rich Helmand Province. Its all about control over and exploitation of these REEs.
To do so, its all about the U.S., NATO and its puppets eliminating the road block by massacring and relocating the Afghan. Pashtun villagers . The UN needs to stop blaming the Afghan Pashtun villagers. They are the victims. That is not “fake” news..
The situation is not getting better in Afghanistan. The Trump administration has escalated the war and is targeting the Afghan Pashtun villagers for their REEs.. It is more violent and less secure. The U.S. has lost the war in Afghanistan. U.S. soldiers and diplomats have to fly in helicopters for very short distances from the U.S. compounds to places like the airport. These soldiers and diplomats and the U.S. -selected Afghan Administration hide behind 20- foot concrete walls that surround their compounds, palaces, and government buildings. There is no winning. The U.S. war policy only perpetuates more violence.
I believe a true peace strategy is the key, but that cannot occur until the U.S. stops waging war in Afghanistan and the U.S. sits down with the Afghan Pashtun villagers, the freedom fighters, to negotiate true peace, which must include the issue of exploitation of REEs and how the Afghan villagers will receive a piece of the REE “pie”.
During these past seventeen (17) years the U.S. with its war strategy, has terrorized Afghan women and children in the villages. Everyday Afghan women and children, especially the Pashtun, are raped, kidnapped, tortured, bombed, their houses demolished, their Rare Earth Elements and other natural resources exploited, imprisoned for political views, forced into prostitution, and killed. In many spots in Afghanistan, the U.S. especially its CIA, holds Afghan women in secret detention centers. The United States has and is committing war crimes against the Afghan villagers. The majority ethnic group, the Pashtun, who are the natives, who live in areas rich with Rare Earth Elements, are being ethnically cleansed and genocide is occurring.
Everyday Afghans are the victims of war crimes committed by the United States, its Afghan puppets and hired mercenaries. After the tragic events of 9/11 the United States, and NATO invaded and occupied Afghanistan. Starting with the infamous war crimes committed in fall of 2001. The United Nations asked the Afghan soldiers Taliban to surrender to the U.N. The Afghans did. In November 2001, at Dasht-e-Leili and Qala-i-Jangithe, the United States, NATO and Dostum CIA thugs cowardly massacred thousands of Taliban prisoners of war.
The United States and the United Nations watched and covered up these war crimes. See the attached video. The bombing of the Doctors without Borders hospital in Kunduz was a war crime. Before the bombing, Dr. Ehsan Osmani, who was a staff member at that hospital, reported on his Facebook page on October 2, 2015, that the Afghan resistance did not harm anyone inside the hospital but the U.S. and NATO bombing was causing all of the civilian casualties and deaths.
He was killed a few days later when the U.S. bombed the hospital. During the past 17 years, war crimes have been documented by Afghans and human rights group. However, there has been no prosecutions and no justice for the Afghan villagers.
Why has Trump escalated the war against the Afghan Pashtun villagers? Its all about the exploitation of REEs. Its really not about terrorism. I believe the new U.S. Trump strategy in Afghanistan is genocide- the intentional killing of the Afghan/Pashtun villagers, who are the only roadblock to the Trump administration’s exploitation of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs), is wrong and unlawful.
At one of his recent media events in 2017, Trump himself boldly stated that he wanted the United States to “exploit” the REEs. Before the Pentagon kept the existence of the vast deposits of REES in Afghanistan under the radar. As the past year has shown, Trump cannot help himself. When he was briefed about the REEs worth trillions, his inability to keep quiet and his greed took over. He had to state that he wanted to exploit them in the media. His friends, Michael N. Silver of American Elements, a company that specializes in mining REEs and his adviser, billionaire friend, Stephen A. Feinberg of Dyncorp will benefit from this exploitation. Probably Trump and his family will too.
The vast untapped deposits of REEs are located on the Afghan/Pashtun villagers’ land mostly in Helmand Province and other Pashtun areas throughout Afghanistan. The Afghan/Pashtun villagers are fighting to defend their land that is being taken from them for control over the REEs. It is really not about terrorism. It is really about exploiting the Afghan’s REEs! I believe the Afghan Villagers are not terrorizing the United States, but the United States is terrorizing the Afghan villagers.
The United States has lost the war but it continues to massacre the Afghan villagers, mainly Pashtun, in their villages in Helmand Province where the vast untapped deposits are located. The Afghan Pashtun villagers are the only resistance and road block to the United States and other war profiteers’ exploitation and theft of the Afghan Pashtun villagers’. Rare Earth Elements.
Trump sees the escalation of the war, which targets the villagers in Helmand, as the only way for the United States to control and exploit the Earth Elements (REEs) such as lithium, worth trillions, which are vital to defense systems and technology. It allows the United States to build its strategic stockpile of REEs. In a Pentagon internal memorandum, the Pentagon called Afghanistan “the Saudi Arabia of Lithium”. REEs such as Scandium, Yttrium and fifteen lanthanides are key ingredients in a number of military applications such as guided missiles, lasers, radar systems, night field equipment, battlefield communications, guidance and control systems for Tomahawk Cruise missiles, smart bombs, predator unmanned aircraft etc.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is establishing a strategic stockpile of these REEs as it has an insufficient supply to meet its demand. China has mined REEs in its country and has dominance as the main supplier of REEs that are of strategic importance to the U.S. military. China controls 90% of the world’s supply. According to petroleumnews.com (03/31/20
The United States was looking for a new supply chain for REEs. Based on information I have received, I strongly believe the United States knew about the REEs deposits in the Helmand Province even before the tragic events of 9/11 and before it chose to invade and occupy Afghanistan long term. Soon after its invasion in October, 2001, the United States dropped down geologists into the REE deposits in Helmand with special operation forces.
The U.S. has used special aircraft with special technology to look at the subsurface geological strata to map out the location of REE deposits in Afghanistan. The DOD has a special division to address REEs. Afghan villages located near the vast REE deposits are bombed and destroyed. The Pashtun villagers are forced to relocate or are killed. They are wrongly labeled “terrorists” because they resist the destruction of their homes and villages and the stealing of their minerals.
I believe the U.S. and its Afghan puppet government are committing war crimes. They are terrorizing the Afghans in these areas. In September, 2012, when I met with Amb. Hugo Llorens, second in charge of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, he talked about the REE deposits. He thought because of my engineering background I would be interested in obtaining a contract to be involved in the REE mining. I am not a war profiteer. I would not profit from war and the blood of my Afghan brothers.
It is all about Afghanistan being the United States’ new supply chain for REEs! It is not about nation building. It is not about terrorism! It is not about helping the Afghan people! A former State Department employee, who worked on the ground in Afghanistan, told me in an e-mail that the U.S. government does not care about Afghans.
Of course, REEs are never discussed at the hearings of the armed services committees or the recent UN meeting. Why has the U.S. been so secretive about the REEs in Afghanistan? It is much easier for the U.S. strategically to steal and stockpile the REEs. I strongly believe when it kills the Afghan Pashtun villagers to achieve this goal the U.S. has to make it look like the killing of the villagers was to stop terrorism.
The U.S. war in Afghanistan to exploit REEs is illegal. The United States’ invasion and occupation of Afghanistan violates the UN Charter and international law. First, the United Nations’ Charter is a treaty which was ratified by the United States. As a ratified treaty it became part of US law. Therefore the US must comply with the UN Charter. Article 2 (4) of the Charter, bans the use of armed force against another country except under two circumstances.
It reads, “ All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.” This article has also become part of the international customary law.
Under the UN Charter, there are two exceptions to the ban on the use of armed force. First, a country can use armed force against another country in self-defense as provided for in Article 51. Second, a country can use armed force when the UN Security Council approves such force to maintain or restore international peace and security. Neither of those exceptions were met before the United States invaded Afghanistan and began waging war.
The United States’ war in Afghanistan is beyond the scope of self-defense allowed by Article 51. Self-defense can only legally take place when an armed attack takes place against a state. The Afghan government in 2001, the Taliban, did not attack the United States on 9/11. Nineteen individuals, 15 from Saudi Arabia, attacked the United States. The State of Afghanistan did not attack the United States. A non-state actor, Al Qaeda allegedly did. That is a fact. No evidence has ever been produced by the United States to the contrary. Propaganda, speculation and expert opinions in the media do not constitute credible and relevant evidence.
The use of armed force against Afghanistan ( and not simply against alleged al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan) could not and cannot be justified by the right of self defense against an armed attack, because the armed attack could not and cannot be attributed to Afghanistan. In 2001, the State of Afghanistan, governed by the Taliban, had no overall control over Osama Bin Laden or his followers, “Al Qaeda”. The U.S. could not and cannot attribute the armed attack of September 11, 2001 to the State of Afghanistan by simply alleging that the Taliban harbored Al Qaeda or was a mere safe haven.
The creation of Al Qaeda can be attributed to the U.S. In the 1980s, when the brave Afghans were fighting against the Soviet Union and the puppet Afghan communist government, the United States trained Osama Bin Laden and other Arabs in Texas. Then the United States brought these Arabs to Afghanistan and trained them along with others in CIA training camps in Paktia Province, Afghanistan. I have first hand knowledge because I was fighting in Afghanistan at that time against the Soviet invaders.
I saw these CIA camps and Arabs, which the Afghans did not want or need in Afghanistan. The United States had overall control over these CIA training camps for these Arabs, who eventually attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. The armed attack can be attributed to and imputed to the United States’ action of training Osama Bin Laden and his followers in CIA training camps. Instead, the United States decided to scapegoat the State of Afghanistan, and invade, occupy and wage a war against it for these past 17 years.
Furthermore, there was no imminent threat that Afghanistan would attack the US or another UN member country. Self- defense can only be used to repel an attack. Immediately after the tragic events of 9/11, the attacks stopped. There was no imminent threat to attack the US by the Afghan government before or after 9/11.
In addition, the UN Charter and well established international customary law, provide that self-defense would warrant only measures, which are proportionate to the armed attack and necessary to respond to it. It must not entail retaliatory or punitive actions. The US war tactics in Afghanistan are retaliatory, punitive and illegal. In and of itself, the use of cluster bombs, drones, uranium tipped weapons is a disproportionate use of force and unnecessary force. The US’s illegal use of self-defense is collectively punishing an entire nation. It is in violation of the UN Charter and international law.
The right to Self-Defense set forth under Article 51 cannot be legally used against Afghanistan because the Afghan government allegedly refused to extradite Bin Laden. Extradition matters are resolved through peaceful measures in courts and not through the use of armed force with massive cluster bombs, drones, uranium tipped weapons etc, which have killed thousands of innocent Afghans during the past seventeen (17) years.
This illegal war and continual killing of innocent Afghans violates the UN Charter and international law. It is not legal self-defense under the UN Charter, international law or any law. The recent use of the “Mother of all bombs” in the Achin District of Afghanistan was a war crime committed by the United States under the Trump Administration. It was a disproportionate use of force. Civilians were targeted and killed even though the United States and its puppet Afghan administration and the UN covered up the war crime.
The United Nations and the world need to require the United States and NATO to immediately cease its use of armed force against Afghanistan and withdraw all of their troops. The war strategy must change to a true peace strategy. The U.S. must sit down with the Afghan Freedom fighters and negotiate true peace. Eliminate all of the preconditions used to make it not happen.
With Trump’s escalation of the war and targeting of the Afghan villagers in Helmand to gain control over the REEs, I strongly believe that the spring will bring more violence with new and more sophisticated weapons on all sides. I have been in war. I hate war. Trump has not been in war. Trump wants to obliterate the roadblock to the U.S’s exploitation of the Afghans’ REEs. Trump is killing the Afghan Pashtun villagers-the “roadblock”.
The U.S. cannot win the war in Afghanistan. I do strongly believe peace can be attained but only through direct talks between the United States and the Afghan Freedom Fighters. The American and Afghan people want a true “win” which means peace and an end to the U.S. war and occupation of Afghanistan.
Stop these war crimes!
Sincerely,
Kadir A. Mohmand

Abdul Kadir Mohmand was born in Kabul, Afghanistan. He currently resides at Kalamazoo, Michigan. He graduated from Kabul High School. On an UNESCO scholarship, Mr. Mohmand studied at Sofia University, Bulgaria from 1976 until 1978 when his studies were interrupted by the Communist seizure of power in Afghanistan. The new Afghan Communist government ordered the Bulgarian government to return him to Afghanistan because he was anti-communist. Mr. Mohmand requested political asylum. With the help of the United Nations and the U.S. Embassy, he arrived to Italy and then the United States in 1979.
Mr. Mohmand returned to his studies and earned his B.S. in 1983 from Western Michigan University. He found employment in various positions in the engineering business. For many years, he worked for BFI and was country operations manager for BFI Italia. Currently, Mr. Mohmand owns a shopping center and develops commercial properties.
During the 1980s, Mr. Mohmand was the Representative of the Afghan Mujahideen for North America. During the 1980s, Mr. Mohmand returned to Afghanistan to fight as a freedom fighter against the Soviets and Afghan communists. Through an arrangement with Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Mr. Mohmand would bring back wounded Afghan children and Mujahideen for medical treatment at Borgess and recuperation in his home in Kalamazoo. He formed and was president of a nonprofit, Aid for Afghanistan.
In the 1980s, Mr. Mohmand also worked with the Committee for a Free Afghanistan in Washington D.C to bring wounded Afghans to the United States for medical treatment.
For the past four decades Mr. Mohmand has dedicated his life to working to achieve true peace and stability in Afghanistan.
A few years ago, Mr. Mohmand organized educated Afghans intellectuals across the world who drafted a comprehensive plan for peace. Presently, he has united many different Afghan peace organizations under one umbrella. The goal of this network is to unite Afghans to bring true peace in and the independence of Afghanistan. This network wants to be the bridge between the Afghan freedom fighters and the silent Afghan majority, and the Western World in any peace negotiations.
Mr. Mohmand wants true peace and stability in Afghanistan. As a veteran of war, Mr. Mohmand hates war.

The US did not learn from the experience of USSR and Vietnam as well. The US TAX Payers should realize and start accountability process of Pentagon, CIA and the Generals who have been posted in Afghanistan because there were very strong news of using drug money by CIA operatives to pay-off Three mercenary armies, TTP + Northern Alliance of Rashid Dostum and the Blackwater for terrorism in Pakistan. Hence the drug lords of Afghanistan were allowed mass cultivation of poppy crops in Kandahar and other areas. Whereas apart from 9/11, out of a dozen fake reasons stoppage of drug trafficking was also one of the reasons, to invade Afghanistan.
The so-called “Al-Qaida” had vanished after killing of OBL, in 2005, what is the justification of US and NATO to remain in Afghanistan…?
However, India should be watchful as the day the US decides to leave Afghanistan, the Indians, military advisors and army in civvies will run faster back home because Afghani Taliban would start looking for them.
