Afghanistan in the Process of Shrinking!
(Part 8)
Separatism:
The African National Congress fought for equal rights of blacks for nearly a century, because in South Africa, a minority of European whites had established a government based on racial superiority. They did not give any human rights to neither black nor the people of different colors, who made up 90 percent of the majority. The Black and people of different colors started a fierce struggle under the leadership of the African National Congress. In this long way to achieve their goals, tens of thousands of people were sacrificed for nearly a century, and hundreds of thousands people lost their lives due to the negative consequences of this war. It should be noted that the Arab and Indian Muslim minorities in South Africa, according to their religious beliefs, fought side by side with blacks against racists. Because Islam is the religion of equality, it does not accept discrimination between human beings. Blacks never wanted to divide South Africa, but wanted justice and equality. Finally, in 1991, with their tireless struggle, the racist regime of South Africa fell and surrendered to the rightful demands of the black majority. Thus, racism was buried forever in South Africa.
As we considered and understood from the previous analyses, contemporary history of Afghanistan has been exception throughout the history in comparison with other countries. Our people, the Afghan nation has tolerated the worst conditions from foreign pressures, unqualified and internal politicians, and the above factors caused some parts of our country disintegrated, but the nation never ever agreed or let Afghanistan goes into disintegration. The people from different parts of the country, whether in Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia, after many years, still share to maint good relations, preserving Afghan Islamic culture and spiritual relations with the Afghan people, through bilateral cooperation to solve the country’s problems and having good attitudes with immigrants.
The rulers of this land and soil, despite having many weaknesses, were never willing to be manipulated by the greedy foreigners. On various occasions, they tried to reassemble and take back the separated parts, which unfortunately, due to the weakness of political-economic power and being located between the two major opposing powers, they could not succeed. The enemies of this homeland have tried to train people who have sold the betrayed their homeland all the times, and with the internal elements’ cooperation, they have occupied the rest of the country together, achieving their long-held dreams, which hopefully they have always been un-successful and thanks to the Almighty Allah and the xenophobic and heroic people of the country.
the factor of social inequality has always been the cause of separatism, that sometime made the separatist fight with peaceful behavior and asked for equal right. It is the lack of justice that forces human beings to separatism; But this inequality of social rights has always been strongly denied by all governments.
In countries where different peoples live with different languages and religions, if there is no equality of rights, those countries will surely get divided. According to the knowledge of separatist groups, in the contemporary history of our country, during the last few hundred years, there has been no direct and absolute separatist group.
Effective Factors of Separatism
If a country is willing to perform dictatorship and avoid its nation of having role in power, or that country incites various forms of discriminations; then, this behavior can lead the country to disintegration. Weak governments that do not have the power to maintain the territorial integrity of their country and at the same time do not respect the cultural differences of their nation, they fail to divide wealth in fair and balanced way in the country. Also countries with these features give more power to a certain group and less to the others, as a result these factors can put the country in the direction of disintegration which leads to long-term problems for the people.
