Who
Controls Marjah Now? Taliban Give Account Of Their Gains
22 March 2010
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Marjah was the first test ground for Obama's new
military strategy in Afghanistan. Since February 13,
when the invading coalition and American troops
launched operation " together" against Marjah, no day
or night has passed without Mujahideen's inflicting
heavy casualties on the enemy. In Every 24 y hours,
the enemy loses 3- 10 military tanks and armed
vehicles on average. If we count the crews of the
tanks killed by IED's mines and armed clashes, the
enemy casualties reach tens of soldiers each day.
General Azimi, a spokesman of the ministry of defense
of the Kabul puppet regime admits that they face 3-4
attacks of Mujahideen in Marjah every 24 hours. The
enemy is herded up in a government building in the
center of the town. They have no writ beyond that
point. Western media outlets themselves acknowledge
that Mujahideen rule the whole Marjah during the
night. Every one, including the operators of the
mobile towers has to obey the Mujahideen instructions.
For the past eight years, the White House rulers have
been propagating that Taliban were foreign elements
that had no roots among the people. But now they have
come around that Taliban are part and parcel of the
Afghan society and could not be isolated socially.
Richard Holdbrooke, US Envoy for Afghanistan and
Pakistan admits there is a Talib in every Afghan
family. It is a fact , Taliban, in the other word, the
Mujahideen, have deep roots in the society. They
represent the aspirations of the people and are
protectors of their religious and national values. It
is why, the enemy is not able to overcome over the
Mujahideen despite huge military preparations and
operations, being unprecedented in terms of
massiveness since World War II. Marjah is a good
example of invaders' inability to achieve their
colonialist objectives in face of the people's stiff
resistance.
Ironically, Washington acts as an evil empire under
the pretext of fighting terrorism. Hundred of infants
have been born deformed in Pashto-speaking areas
because of the use of depleted uranium by the American
invading troops. They launch night raids on civilian
houses, blow up gates of residential houses with
explosives and start firing pointblank and
indiscriminately which frequently result in the
killing of innocent residents in rural areas.
We have many examples in every part of the country.
Recently during a similar case, three women were
killed near Gardez, the provincial capital of Paktya
province, where the abhorrent black water agents with
support of special force's soldiers raided a house. A
baby-naming ceremony was going on in the house when
the brutal agents gate crashed. Similarly, since 13
February when the enemy launched attacks against
Marjah, 36 civilians have been killed by enemy
bombardment, missile strikes and night raids. More
than 40 civilians received injury and hundreds of
houses of people have been destroyed by the enemy. But
the brutalities of the enemy to terrorize the people,
have not granted them any gain on ground. Marjah is
still in the hands of Mujahideen. The enemy is
besieged and limited to some government buildings in
the heart of the town.
The enemy has appointed an Afghan-German national,
Abdul Zahir, as governor of Marjah who has remained
out of touch with his community for the last decade
and is not able to perceive their needs. He panders
more to the demands of the invaders rather than
meeting the requirements of the common Afghans.
As long as the invaders do not succumb to the demands
of the people i.e. independence of Afghanistan,
establishment of Islamic government, reconstruction
and development of the country participated by all
Afghans, the enemy will never have chance to go to
sleep with peaceful mind. Military showdown and
operations will not buy them peace . But realization
of values and natural rights of the Afghan people is
the way, leading to peaceful solution of the issue.
However, ironically, these fundamental principles are
not found in the book of colonialism and imperialism
which have occupied Afghanistan.
