Afghan government is a dead horse

Mr. William G. P. Monahan, Esq.

Counsel for the Committee on Armed Services

United States Senate

Washington, DC 20510

Dear Mr. Monahan:

Secretary Kerry’s installed Afghan government is a dead horse. It will rot and eventually have a very bad smell. No matter how much money the U.S. government puts into it. It will not function. It is a waste of U.S. taxpayer money. The U.S. government’s policy of divide and conquer through its covert war, with Afghans killing Afghans, is the wrong policy.

Yesterday the Afghan puppet Minister of Interior Noorolaq Olomi, Interim Minister of Defense Sher Mohammad Karimi, and Head of National Security Nabil Rahmatullah, told the Afghan puppet Parliament that of the 34 Afghan provinces more than 20 are controlled by the Afghan Resistance. Mohammad Karimi stated that the Afghan people are supporting the resistance and not the Ghani government.

In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union stated that it did not want to talk with the Afghan Mujaheddin. The Soviets stated that the Afghan Mujaheddin needed to talk with Najibullah’s Afghan puppet communist government. The majority of the Afghan provinces at that time were also controlled by the Afghan Mujaheddin, who were supported by the majority of the Afghan people. The world knows that the Soviet Union lost. They were forced to withdraw. The war caused the Soviet’s economic collapse which soon after led to the end of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact.

Right now, I see that the U.S. government is making the same mistake as the former Soviet Union. Instead of using the diplomacy/negotiation policy with the Afghan resistance ( direct talks between the resistance and the U.S. ). Kerry’s State Department is saying that the Afghan Resistance needs to talk with the Ghani government and not the U.S. It is common knowledge that the Afghan resistance does not want to talk with Ashraf Ghani. When Ghani’s uncle, who I have known for forty years, U.S. agent and chief interpreter, Dr. Qayyum Kochai, went to Qatar and spoke with the Afghan Resistance before the selection of Ashraf Ghani, he promised the resistance that Ghani would not sign the proposed bilateral security agreement. It is common knowledge that since Ghani did sign it, the Afghan Resistance will not talk with Ghani.

I believe the U.S. is heading down the same path as the former Soviet Union. I do not want this fate for the United States. The U.S. has trained and paid for the Afghan army and security forces which the majority are Northern Alliance. Now these U.S. trained forces are killing U.S. soldiers and switching sides to the popular and majority supported Afghan resistance. This switching sides has been repeated throughout Afghan history. Not only did it occur during the Soviet invasion and occupation but it reminds me of the 1842 Afghan and British First War, when 16, 000 British troops were killed when the British trained Afghan forces turned their guns against the British invaders to keep their face (honor). Right now, I see the same thing happening again. And I believe it will soon become even worse.

As I have informed you many times, myself and other educated Afghan Americans, who have not been war profiteers and who are respected by the majority of Afghans, can turn this situation around and bring true peace in Afghanistan in a way that can benefit both countries. In a way that the vast deposits of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) can benefit the U.S. and the majority of the Afghan people/villagers and not just a few of the greedy war profiteers. To achieve this peace, we can be the bridge. I hope you use your influence and connections and allow us to come and talk with the Senate Armed Services Committee. The American people’s representatives need to hear both sides of what is happening and not just the opinion and perspective of the war profiteers and CIA agents.

I appreciate you listening to me. You know as long as I have breath I am going to express my opinion as to what is the right path because I have seen war. And I hate war. You know I am not a war profiteer. I just want peace and the best for my homeland, United States and for my motherland , Afghanistan.

Sincerely,

Kadir A. Mohmand

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.
