The Resistance against Imperialist War in Afghanistan must continue and grow
It has been fifteen years since the
beginning of the US led imperialist aggression on Afghanistan. In the
course of their aggressive and occupying war the American imperialists
and its allies have committed numerous war crimes against our people.
This imperialist war and criminal occupation in Afghanistan has not yet
ended.
Barack Obama had announced that their
war and criminal occupation would end in 2014. The occupying forces and
their puppet regime with much ceremony and fanfare conducted a process
of “transitioning of security responsibilities” and announced that the
security forces of the puppet regime has now taken charge of the war and
security responsibilities. But this so-called Afghanization of war did
not mean the complete end of the imperialist occupation but was actually
a mere change in the number of imperialist troops from 150 thousand to
15 thousand.
The security agreement between American
imperialist occupiers and their puppet regime, which was a reminder of
the agreements between the British colonialists and their Afghan satrap
kings, was imposed on the country and its people and formalized the
colonial status of Afghanistan. Based on this agreement the occupiers
officially possess numerous strategic and long term military bases and
have no restriction on dispatching any number of extra forces.
Furthermore, the military attacks are being carried out also from
outside of country such as from the military bases in Indian Ocean and
even from the US itself.
Although certain imperialist and
reactionary powers have withdrawn their forces from Afghanistan and yet
these powers are still involved, directly or indirectly, and continue to
support the American imperialist occupation of the country.
Therefore, the struggle against
imperialist occupiers and their puppet regime not only has not ended,
but is still in front of us as a prolonged struggle. In this situation
the national revolutionary people’s resistance has the potential to
transform into all-rounded resistance which could also attract the
widespread support of public opinion within the imperialist countries, a
support that is an important condition for forcing the imperialist
occupiers to completely retreat and withdraw their entire forces from
Afghanistan.
However, we should strive for the spread
of the anti-war and anti-imperialist movement in Afghanistan and in
imperialist countries themselves. These struggles can strengthen and
widen the national revolutionary people’s resistance to imperialist wars
in Afghanistan, the region and the world. The campaign against fifteen
years of war in Afghanistan can and should be the new beginning for
these struggles and its future development and spread into other
imperialist countries particularly the occupying imperialist countries
themselves.
