Seeing at the magnitude of aggression wreaked by violence-mongers, we find barbarism an overriding element of our society. The strength anti-state elements have acquired marks the state of unwillingness to be curtailed. The turn of every seasonal offensive the intensity of violence inclines rendering the foreign diplomats, public officials and civilians prime target of attacks. The growing attacks on foreign and civilians indicates the insurgents are underlining their pretentious presence. The individuals driven by evil motives, fear of losing what they owned, lust of having numerous monetary gains put them in the black race of domination, leading to formation of a human society we witness at the moment, characterized by rule of mob, violence, aggression, innumerable bloodshed and ruthless killings of fellowmen. Unluckily our society at present is governed by some of identical dilemmas.
The former unprecedented attacks in Afghan capital depict, Taliban and other militants have waged unofficial or unauthorized war against innocent civilian to chasing their political aims. It’s no surprise after decade long bloody conflict at the behest of infrastructural and human losses US has shifted to rebranded Taliban and armed insurgent not terrorist group. Unobjectionably, the wave attacks and intimidation of Afghan civilian seem not to be convincing even to brand them local terrorist if not international terrorists. This shift has certainly come into being after US dismantled Al-Qaida and Taliban nexus and spectacular assassination of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. Following it Afghan Taliban does not fall in the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations however Pakistani Taliban still lie. The comeback of Taliban in political arena seems to be part of set script is likely hatched in the form ongoing demands for peace talks from across the world. Nonetheless, the former escalating wave of Taliban’s increasing bloodlettings might complicate the drive.
The ongoing week appears to be the deadliest with continues attacks that left over 80 people dead and around 500 wounded. Majority of the victims were civilians –which unwaveringly comes in war crimes that can substantially hold Taliban liable of being tried in the court of justice. The dramatic rise in civilian casualties is matter of great concern for humanitarian organizations and ordinary Afghans, alike. Conversely, it too underscores government’s unpreparedness in curbing the militants and terrorists capacity unleashing great deal of attacks. The president subsequent to returning from Germany directed the officials concerned to thoroughly reevaluate security situation and work out a comprehensive plan to bolster law and order. Both a coordinated surveillance security system and apt counter terrorism measure may help war torn land get rid of growing attacks. Stretching fingers out at others might not help us get out of the ongoing dilemma of terrorism.
Finding the weaknesses of in ground opponent, both in scene off scene enemies try to exploit the state of affairs in their favor. Tracing and dismantling such terror nexus is the sole responsibility the incumbent government should account to. Undoubtedly, Taliban uses violence to make a breakthrough entry in Afghan politics –Afghan government has reach out to any such plot. Unlike many analysts I turn down the perception; Taliban drove the former wave of violence, seeking dictation from agencies of neighboring country. The fact might probably be -Taliban exercising violence is meant to diffuse the rumors of rifts amongst their ranks; bid to display physical might after news about, all at sudden demise of their de facto leader and let Kabul government know they are hitherto unaffected and stand united against government operation.
Nonetheless, the faulty perception Taliban want to create can not turn around the truth about the emergence of blatant division amongst their ranks. The crack within the leadership of Taliban occurred after Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Manour was appointed as the Emir of Taliban after Mullah Omar was announced dead. The disparity of opinion about who should head the movement is turned a burning issue. Reportedly, some militants have had verbal to armed clash owing to have contradictory opinion regarding the appointment of the group’s new supreme leader with distinct causalities. Seeing this Mullah Mohammad Syed Tayyab Agha resigned from his position as Taliban group’s head of the political office in Qatar office. His resignation came amid growing rift among the Taliban leaders regarding the appointment of Mullah Mohammad Omar’s successor. A number of Taliban clerics are mediating to remove rifts between divided Taliban factions and are likely to announce their decision about Mullah Omar’s successor soon. Nonetheless, the chaos within Taliban leadership has led to the postponement of peace talks between the militant group and Afghan government to end the over-a-decade long war in Afghanistan. The reconciliation talk is unlikely to resume given Taliban sticks to unleash violence.
On the other hand President Ghani’s recent upcoming against Pakistan showed the marked resentment stating enough is enough. It was depicted earlier, during a press conference at the Presidential Palace in the battle-weary capital of Kabul, blasted over the neighboring country. According to him Afghanistan can no longer stand back and witness the killing of its citizens. He reiterated the former demands asking Pakistan to bring the Taliban back to table of negotiation; stop harboring the insurgents; take action against those who are launching attacks against Afghanistan.
The consecutive attacks let Taliban reach tot their desired objective is barefaced deception. The matter of fact is –the whole state of affair goes against the interest of Taliban –it earns them loosening foothold and down acceptability in Afghan society. Identically, a strong resentment is particularly witnessed amongst masses against the more terrorist than insurgent group. Following the former wave of attack on civilians, dozens of civil society activists took to the streets of Kabul in protest against the militant group of Taliban. Protesters were carrying banners with different slogans condemning the attacks. Protesters were carrying banners that read great degree of resentment against Taliban. Another banner was reading a slogan seeking prosecution for Taliban for carrying attacking civilians. Moreover, the president also hinted –Afghanistan will not carry out peace talks with those at war against the country.
