The vortex Helmand
Editorials Saturday, February 13th, 2010The Pakistan Army and intelligence services have proved the sole army in the world and succeeded in the mission like FATA and tribal areas after major sacrifices, the tribal areas were under the direct command of Taliban forces from several years, but the Pak army successfully pulled them from this side of the border and agitated the Taliban after major sacrifices.
On the other hand Washington backs the operation in Helmand Lashkar Garh, seeing it as an important place to spotlight and conquer minor groups of Taliban, the decision has been taken after nine years so far analysts say, but the Taliban forces have been working in operational condition in the Afghanistan the major attacks revealed this month, The western forces have focused Helmand province assuming a major peril and bone of contention against troops, while the militants have started entering from the west and north frontiers like Toraghondi, west of Afghanistan an adjoining area with Turkmenistan, and Termiz gateway North West of Afghanistan bordering Uzbekistan.
The Helmand maneuver was once again instigated by the command and control of United States when they arrested an Afghanistan official on charges against links with Taliban, the Lashkar Garh in Helmand province is stated to be the strong hold of Taliban, but The fact is that the Taliban have strengthened the links with some of the Afghan Police and Army officials and receiving the top secret information despite good command and control of international forces, so the joint techniques have created a good trap for the United States in Afghanistan. The Helmand was also in the target from several months when Taliban have continuously been denying the conferences including London conference. Thus the United States and western forces sought to attack Helmand. The Special Forces are being trapped through preplanning in the Helmand, while the other activities in Kabul and Baghlan are on the top.
The senior mullah in Lashkar Gah, Haji Maulavi Mokhtar, last year told foreign media that the civilian casualties are the only reason people support the Taliban. “The Taliban don’t dig any canals, they don’t pave roads, they can’t rebuild hospitals or mosques,” he said. “All they do is commandeering people’s property without paying. They ask for food, for money, for cars and motorbikes. Why would anyone join them or support them, of their own free will? There’s one reason why the people join them: because during the bombardment a lot of civilians get hurt, then they get angry and then they volunteers to fight, He said most people were suspicious of foreigners because of the Soviet occupation. But he added that people in Helmand were particularly suspicious of the British because they believe the British are here is to seek revenge for the Anglo-Afghan wars in the 1840s. ”
Kunduz was under attack in 2004 and the Jihad fighters were trapped there, but what happened, some of the Taliban were killed and some of them were survived, after long time the Taliban once again created units. Here we have got such situation, Lets suppose if US and NATO forces overcome Helmand, then what would happen, some time the troops will rule their later on with in some months more Taliban would be prepared, Afghanistan need proper solution so that the Afghan government system could be pre arranged before sorting peaceful exit.
But unfortunately this year it has been noticed that the Indian influence in diplomatic activities were expanded and it needed control, Taliban preach people and make them cohesive against United States , Indian influence , western forces in Afghanistan, Indian are telling the world that the US supports India and it can defeat China and Pakistan this is the reason that the Indian influence has created anti Americanism in whole Asia; All are joining Jihad due to Indian’s propaganda that US was supporting them.
Taliban are an example of irreparable virus and the virus could be controlled if there was a proper treatment. For example if a person’s leg infects by cancer, so the leg should be cutoff and thrown away, so the Indian involvement in Afghanistan is an example of a cancer, and their existence should be evacuated, in order to quarantine anti Americanism wave, here Afghanistan needs diplomatic treatment neither attacks nor increasing of the troops, operations conducting whether in Helmand or else are an example of a vortex, and there are a lot of vortexes remaining until Indians are present in Afghanistan, the troops could be saved from such vortexes if diplomatic access was set to limited activities.
