(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) Afghanistan gained its independence from then only
superpower the Great Britain after the third Anglo-Afghan in August 1919 during
the reign of the young king Amanullah.
The Britons who were ruling Indian sub-continent
never imagined that the poor nation who lacked enough weaponry comparing to the
enemy's modern army armed with the time's sophisticated weaponries.
As the people of Afghanistan never accept invasion
of their homeland by outsiders and they had proved it in the past by standing
against the bullying and invasion of Alexander the Great and then Genghis Khan
who both failed to tighten domination in this land, this time they stood against
another invader with very elementary weapons, but a strong feeling of
patriotism and love to their motherland.
The tragedy of invasion was repeated once again and
this time by the newly-appeared superpower (Soviet Union) who sent soldiers to
our country in 1979, but was forced to leave Afghanistan ashamed after 10
years.
But unfortunately, the people of Afghanistan did not
experience a peaceful life even since the British invasion. Several wars mostly
on power took calmness and welfare from the brave and patriotic people and
destruction of their home has been continuing until now.
Some countries in the region who cannot tolerate a
stable and peaceful Afghanistan in their neighborhood, try to not let Afghans
live under the shadow of peace. These countries who have never been threatened
by the people of Afghanistan, try to keep the flame of war ablaze. They
implement their plans through naïve people who do not know the value of their
motherland. The interfering countries use these uneducated people who destroy
their home and kill their brothers and sisters.
What the people of Afghanistan want is peace and no
Afghan opposes efforts leading to a lasting peace, because they have given
sacrifices in the 40 years of war.
Now, people are optimistic to the efforts for peace
and hope the efforts lead them to durable peace. But inside the country and
inside the government, there are some elements to oppose these efforts and try
to directly or indirectly sabotage the process just because of their personal
interests and the continuation of their power.
These people are requested to stop childish
pertinacity and should realize that national interests are always in priority.
They should not make obstacles before peace efforts and let the tired of war
people experience peace in their lives.
