Daud Abedi and Jared Kushner Must Stop Interfering in Afghan Peace Process.

To the Honorable Alice Wells
U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs
U.S. Department of State
Washington D.C.

The CIA, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and War Profiteering CIA Thugs Zalmay Khalilzad, Daud Abedi and Jared Kushner Must Stop Interfering in Afghan Peace Process. They are the Obstacles to Peace.

Dear Deputy Wells:

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the CIA with war profiteers Zalmay Khalilzad and Daud Abedi, who are CIA thugs, want to control the peace process. These countries and individuals really are not looking for true peace and the interests of the Afghan villagers. Keeping the war going helps them. It is profitable for them. All of the peace meetings that Khalilzad schedules are just for appearances to fool the American people and the world.

All are obstacles to peace. I believe Saudi Arabia paid several billion dollars to Pakistan and some American individuals to stop the peace meetings in Qatar in January. There is just a constant interference in the peace process. Jared Kushner is an obstacle to peace. He is more interested in pleasing Saudi Arabia for his family’s and his wife’s family’s business interests. It is in the best interests of the American and Afghan people through a “true” peace process to bring this ugly war to an end.

However, with these countries and players interfering and controlling the process, it is not going to happen. They are the obstacles to peace but they deflect the blame for the breakdown of talks to the victims of this war.

During these past seventeen years on numerous occasions, I informed the Department of State, my U.S. senators and representatives from Michigan that the billionaire war profiteer Zalmay Khalilzad and RAND corporation is an obstacle to peace. His policies are responsible for the millions of Muslims deaths and destruction of Muslim countries in the world. He does not want or care about peace. The majority of Afghan villagers do not trust nor like him.

The Afghan freedom fighters do not trust him, which the United States’ government knows. There is more money to be made by the greedy war profiteers when there is war and division rather than peace. There is no incentive for war profiteers to find a true peace solution. Using Khalilzad as a so-called peace negotiator is just a farcical show to make the world think there is a sincere attempt at peace by the United States.

When the Trump Administration appointed Khalilzad I realized that true peace was not the United States’ goal and that the division of Afghans, dealings with North Alliance’ war lords like Rashid Dostum and Atta Noor and ethnic cleansing are the desired outcomes. The U.S. ethnic cleansing policy being implemented in Afghanistan is wrong and must stop.

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. Only Arabs were on the planes that attacked the United States. There were no Afghans.

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 18 years.

As I have stated numerous times, I am gravely concerned that Russia is gaining influence in Afghanistan again. Any involvement of Russia in Afghanistan in any way upsets me greatly because I fought the Soviet Union and Afghan communists in the 1980s. I do not want the Afghans to do any kind of talks for peace in Russia with the Russians because they are the reason Afghanistan was destroyed. Then I found out a U.S. official was at this Moscow meeting acting subservient to Russia.

This longest illegal war and occupation must end. In 2000, the United States had a $236 billion dollar surplus. Presently, the United States government is almost 22 trillion dollars in debt (See US National Debt Clock). The U.S. war in Afghanistan with its corruption and greed of war profiteers has contributed greatly to this financial crisis.

The U.S. is not winning the war. As history has shown, it cannot win. It has failed. The recent U.S. funded election, U.S. “selection” in Afghanistan has failed. The purpose of this “selection” is to divide and conquer the Afghan people with Afghans killing Afghans and ethnic cleansing. The Afghan villagers are realizing that the U.S. is using the divide and conquer tactic to create ethnic cleansing among them.

It is a mistake for the current U.S. Administration to follow Khalilzad and Daud Abedi and again look to the Northern Alliance warlords war criminals for an interim government solution. The warlords only want division and ethnic cleansing like in the 1990s because with war they make money and continue with power. The Afghan villagers are now aware of what Khalilzad and the warlords want.

The Afghan majority will not let itself be divided again like in the 1990s and during these past 17 years. The divide and conquer policy will not work anymore. This interim government approach, which relies upon Northern Alliance warlords, which represent the ethnic minorities, will not work.

For the longest U.S. war to end, the first step is for a panel of educated Americans, who are not war profiteers nor part of the military, to meet with a panel of educated Afghans, who are not war profiteers nor part of the military or Afghan Administration, to listen and to take suggestions from Afghans from all sides in order to find a path for true peace. It is in both Afghanistan’s and the United States’ interests not to allow Russia or China to gain control over the Afghans’ vast deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs). After this initial phase then there needs to be talk about the eventual withdrawal of U.S. and other foreign troops from Afghanistan. However, the bombardment and war against the Afghan /Pashtun villagers in the Pashtun areas must stop immediately. It is much better if the United States has the Afghan/Pashtun majority on its side.

The second step of this process would require Afghans among themselves to meet and discuss how to solve their own problems and find a resolution for peace without any outside interference from and no involvement of foreign countries, war lords, and war profiteers like Zalmay Khalilzad. Afghans must be left alone to find their own path to peace and reconciliation. It is obvious that outside interference in Afghanistan’s internal affairs has not worked. During these past four decades, superpowers’ wars and occupation have not worked. As history has shown, this longest war cannot be won.

American Afghans are willing to be the bridge in these negotiations. I along with members of our peace group are willing to be the bridge. I strongly believe the first step in this peace process is to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Maintaining or increasing troops will only continue and even escalate this war. I ask you for your help so that this ugly war can end in an honorable way for the United States and Afghanistan and true peace can be achieved in Afghanistan.

If America is to be great again it needs to end its ugly war in Afghanistan in an honorable way. This war does not make America great. It makes America a war monger and very much in debt. I along with other educated American Afghans can be the bridge to peace to end this war (see my biography).

Michigan has a strong connection to the Afghans. In the 1980s, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and waged war against the Afghan civilians, Sister Eugene of Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan, along with Dr. Fabi, Dr. Ramos and other staff, allowed me to bring 12 Afghan children, who were severely wounded in the war, to Borgess Hospital for free treatment. Mary Freebed Rehabilitation Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan also donated services for rehabilitation. I can be that bridge again.

Do not repeat the mistakes of the past 17 years. I am very concerned about the future of my homeland, the United States, and my motherland, Afghanistan. I do believe that the U.S. Department of State can bring peace in Afghanistan with new policies and new players, who are not war lords, war profiteers and defintely not former Afghan communists. It definitely will not happen with Khalilzad’s involvement in the process.

Ms. Wells, for true peace for the future generations of Americans and Afghans, remove Khalilzad , Abedi and the CIA from the process and change the United States’ approach.

Former Representative of the Afghan Freedom Fighter (Mujaheddin) for North America during the 1980s

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.
