The
20th Anniversary Of The Flight Of The Invading Soviet
Forces From Afghanistan
17 February 2010
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Twenty years ago, on 15.2.1989, the Red Army of the
former Soviet Union fled our country with disgrace and
failure after passage of ten years from their
invasion, terrors and showdown of muscles (in our
country).
Though during the said ten years, the Red Army and
their internal surrogates—the Khalqis and Parchamites--
martyred more than 1.5 million Afghans; forced 6
million others to take refuge and wounded or detained
hundreds of thousands of Afghans. However, in the end,
Govrbacheve, leader of the former Soviet Union,
referred to the invasion as “a bleeding cancerous
wound”. The Red Army, under the arrogant General Boris
Gromove, pulled out of Afghanistan shamefully and with
complete flop after losing 15 thousand invading
soldiers; with 50 thousands more, being injured and
1400 either detained or lost without any trace.
In 1986, after coming to power, Goverbacheve gave one
year to the army to prove their upper hand in the war
but when they failed to deliver because of the holy
Jihad of the Afghan Mujahid nation, the political and
military leadership of the former Soviet Union decided
in November 1986 to withdraw their troops from
Afghanistan and used the Geneva Accords as a
convincing pretext for the pull-out.
Today, after twenty years from the Red Army
withdrawal, Obama has given 18 months to Mc Crystal,
US Chief General in Afghanistan, to prove that he can
turn the tide against the Islamic Emirate but the
historical experiences of the Mujahid Afghanistan and
the ground realities indicate America is readily
walking on the step of the former Soviet Union.
Surely, they will face fiasco after one and half year
as they are facing failure today.
Rationally, if the invading crusaders have not been
able to subjugate the Afghan Muslim Mujahid people by
martyring, wounding and detaining more than one
hundred thousands Afghans during the past eight years,
then how can they would be able to subjugate them in
the coming 16 months or through ostensible military
operations like the ones in areas as Marjah and Nad
Ali.
The American and NATO rulers should know, if they need
15 thousands well-armed troops to take only one
district, then there are 350 districts in Afghanistan,
they would need 5,250,000 more troops to take them,
whereas you are not able to supply logistics even for
the said 15 thousands troops.
Similarly, KGB believed that they will control
Afghanistan within 3 months and gave more budget to
KHAD (intelligence Agency) than to the ministry of
defense of the former Khalqi regime, today America has
allocated huge budget for the Black Water, CIA and the
Special Force to subjugate the Afghan people through
terrorizing them and maligning the good name of
Mujahideen but these endeavors already have been tried
by the former Soviet Union in the recent history.
However, they utterly failed. The invading America is
following their steps.
The showdown and arrogance of the invaders versus the
Afghans have now lost their splendor. The resistance
and Jihad of our Muslim people against the atrocities
and coercion is a good lesson for all invaders. The
moribund rulers of the White House would find it more
beneficial if they ponder over the historic lesson
instead of turning to a showdown of forces. Obama like
Gorbacheve needs to realistically view the ground
realities in order to put an end to tyrannizing and
repressing the Afghans and further disgracing America.
While congratulating the Muslim and Mujahideen people
and all the Islamic Ummah on the collapse and
disintegration of the communist empire thanks to the
Islamic Jihad of the Afghans, the Islamic Emirate of
Afghanistan gives good news and assurance to the
heroic Afghan people that today’s arrogant America and
their war-mongering crusading coalition will meet the
fate of the former Soviet Union who were disgraced and
routed.
The moribund Mc Crystal, like the defeated Boris
Gromove, will admit his defeat and rout by kowtowing
before the Jihadic magnanimity and Islamic faith of
the Afghan people, if God willing.
“Those who have wronged, will know how terrible Return
they will have (in the Hereafter). (Al-Quran)
