“Bahir”: Taliban does not share power with warlords and former officials of Afghanistan
| The grandson of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the head of Hizb-e-Islami in Afghanistan, wrote in a note that the Taliban government will not share power with the warlords and former officials of Afghanistan. |
According to the regional office of Tasnim News, Afghan expert “Obaidullah Bhair” who is the grandson of “Golbadin Hekmatyar” He is one of the main parties to the civil wars in Afghanistan and the head of Hizb-e-Islami in this country. The people of Afghanistan do not want that either.” Bahir clarified: the inclusion of warlords practically meant their exemption from punishment for crimes, and they played a vital role in the failure of subsequent efforts to build a state in Afghanistan. The warlords were also the saboteurs of the peace process with the Taliban, the failure of which led to the final fall of Kabul to the Taliban forces in August 2021. He uses it to his advantage and refuses to give in to international pressure to bring other Afghan political forces into the current government. They have clearly said that such pressure is an attempt to repeat the failed experience of the Bonn conference. This is not an unpopular move, as the people of Afghanistan fear the return of warlordism to Afghanistan.
Noh Hekmatyar stressed: If the Doha meeting is supposed to be about finding ways to build communication bridges with the Taliban, then it should not be a place where The presence of warlords and former Afghan officials who do not have a good reputation should be used in that. Such a move would be counterproductive as it would make the Taliban more reluctant to engage. The issue of greater participation in the Taliban government will be raised when sufficient trust is established and momentum is created.
The article adds: While it is clear who should not be part of a future government, finding qualified and trusted personalities Non-Taliban political forces can be a challenge. Because between 2001 and 2021, the elections of this country were repeatedly rigged and it is not clear who represents the will of the Afghan people. Finally, the Taliban should be allowed to choose who to include in the government beyond their own movement. This is not an ideal outcome, but it would be an improvement on the current situation.
