Afghanistan in the Process of Shrinking!
(Part 4)
The Mohammadzai Amirs:
Amir Dost Mohammad Khan used the power vacuum to provoke the public opinions about the invasion of the Sikhs in the southeastern regions and the occupation of Peshawar, and called on the people to jihad. There was no commander in Afghanistan at the time to order jihad; Therefore, Amir Dust Mohammad Khan, in order to legitimize the power and establish the monarchy in Kabul, called himself as the Amir al-Mu’minin in (1835 AD according to 1251 AH) and wore the crown of the monarchy. When Amir Dust Muhammad khan came to power, it was expected that family conflictions (among Suduzaei and Mohammadzai) and the differences among the political and power-seeking elites, which were the only cause of the disintegration of the homeland at the time, to be eliminated.
Before the Emir’s reign, there were disputes over the seizure of power among the claimants of the monarchy, which led the country to disintegrate and gave the enemies the courage to invade the country; But this time a stronger foreign force (British colonialism) was added to the troubles. The British, who after capturing most of the Indian subcontinent, imagined the people of Afghanistan like the people of India and wanted to occupy this heroic country, the land of Mirwais Khan and Ahmad Shah Abdali.
In order to invade and change the monarchy from Mohammadzai to Durrani, which means from Dust Mohammad Khan to Shah Shuja, Britain made un-excusable excuses such as, Amir Dust Mohammad Khan’s connection with Tsarist Russia and other worthless excuses, to attack Afghanistan for the first time. This was the first foreign attack of the foreign forces under the baseless pretext and insignificance, which the occupiers considered to invade our country. After the British invasions and defeats, exactly 140 years later, the Soviet Union, under the pretext of its astronomical forces, strong economy and modern weapons, invaded Afghanistan, this brave land with the intention of occupation, but hopefully, Alhamdu Lilah, Russians were humiliatingly defeated. The eldest son of Britain, the world’s first-class superpower, occupied our country 22 years later under false and similar excuses due to the elimination of al-Qaeda, to change the government, by the use of communism and evil and corruption groups to power.
In contemporary Afghanistan, the main and frequent reasons to encourage foreigners to occupy our country were, internal differences, heavily dependent on political elites
and power-seeking to the foreigners, which resulted in oppression and tyrannies for the helpless nation.
Finally, it was the industrious and faithful people and brave Mujahedeen of this heroic nation who paid the heavy price, and defended their country Afghanistan by whatever they had, including their basic living Materials and properties, defended their religion, culture and soil and honor as well as dignity by strong faith and resistence. The heroes of Afghanistan have proved in different eras that they have been capable of defending their national territory in addition to integrity, without being influenced by corruption and mercenary leaders; But the abusive political elites, always tricked the waves of national and popular movements and moved the country into regression again.
Our nation alone, with courage and heroism, but without religious support, could not face enemies of this length and width. In fact, it was the life-giving and liberating call of Islamic Jihad that united our people with other Muslim nations, and enables them to face the enemies, the enemies who were armed to the teeth, but Afghan people instead of surrendering themselves, having intimidation or being affected by dread, instead got stronger faith to endure the sufferings and calamities of the house-to-house wars. The joy and sweetness of the Islamic jihad, flows in the veins and blood of this nation, until the Day of Judgment. Moreover, this culture will undoubtedly remain, among the different religious ethnic groups of the country.
