The war in Ukraine, utilized by the strategy to strengthen itself in Poland, has somewhat obscured the situation and processes in another regions of the world. Let us look present at Central Asian Afghanistan, triumphantly liberated by the Taliban from the Yankee business on August 15, 2021.
Taliban and US
First of all, it turned out that the Taliban have allies in the individuals of both erstwhile sovereign Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan (today imprisoned by political opponents on charges of corruption) and a peculiar U.S. envoy on reconciliation in Afghanistan Zalmay Khalizad. The erstwhile congratulated the Taliban on the victory, saying that the Afghans "finally broke the chains of slavery", while the second was a grey eminence not only of the peace agreement under which US units were withdrawn, but besides – as he accused him in a tv interview in September 2021 overturned by the Taliban "President" of Afghanistan Ashraf Gani – Washington's silent approval to take power over the country by the Taliban.
Zalmay Khalizad besides patronises talks led by Yankees with Taliban in the Qatari Ad-Dauha. In July 2022 a peculiar U.S. envoy to Afghanistan Thomas West and a peculiar U.S. envoy for women and human rights in Afghanistan Rina Amiri met with Taliban representatives in Qatar's capital to discuss "the most crucial interests in Afghanistan". The discussion dossier is intended to cover humanitarian and social issues (humanitarian support for the Afghan population, equal treatment of all Afghan citizens – including women and girls), safety issues, economical stability, countering production and drug trafficking.
According to U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedanta Patel, talks do not mean Washington's designation of the Afghan government but are intended to address applicable issues. It is perfectly visible that in the elite of the Yank state there is simply a fractional division against the background of relations with the Taliban and Islam in Central Asia. Associated with Republicans or even neoconservatives, Z. Khalizad seems to push a close-up between Washington and muslim environments (Talibs, Imran Khan), which the current administration is skeptical of. Let us remind here that Z. Khalizad is the highest-ranking officer of the Yankee state professing Islam – during the presidency of George Bush the younger was successively an ambassador in the Yankee-occupied Afghanistan (2004-2005), Iraq (2005-2006) and a typical of the United States for reconciliation in Afghanistan (2018-2021).
The influence of the Taliban-friendly partyry is strong adequate in Washington, D.C., that the US facilitated the signing on 5 January 2023 by the Afghan Central Bank of an agreement with the Polish Securities Company and the French issuer on the printing of banknotes with denominations 10, 20, 50 and 100 Afghans. In turn, US$3.5 million frozen by the West of Afghan deposits were transferred to the Swiss fund, on whose board is Dr. Shah Mehrabi, a associate of the General Council of the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
The Taliban and China
The Taliban government besides did not recognise China, which did not prevent them from being 1 of the fewer countries in the planet (besides Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Russia) keeping their embassy in Kabul continuously. On 5 January 2023, Chinese ambassador to Kabul Wang Yu signed on behalf of his government a contract to extract by Xinjiang Central Asia Petroleum and Gas Co. oil in the northern Afghanistan basin of Amu Daria. On the Afghan side, the contract was signed by Mullah Abdul Ghani Beradar, Deputy Prime Minister of economical Affairs, and the negotiations were besides attended by Minister of Oil Shahabuddin Dilawar. Chinese investments in 2023 are expected to amount to USD 150 million and increase to USD 540 million in 3 years. The investment is intended to lead straight to the creation of 3,000 jobs for Afghans.
For the Afghan side, the contract is crucial to the rescue of the economy, after the West cut its backing following a policy of withdrawal by the Taliban of women from the labour market. In December 2022, her current financial programs froze the UN after the Taliban banned women from holding positions in humanitarian organizations. The alleged global community proved to be simply a club of Western liberalists, as indicated by the reaction to the Taliban's ban on university education for women in December 2022. China is filling the gap left by the ideologicalized Western globalist institutions.
Taliban and Central Asia
The pragmatic policy of the functional integration of Afghanistan into regional trade and safety structures is besides pursued by Central Asia. Central Asian states, among others, are behind the plan of the Trans-Afghan railway line. In early August 2023, Taliban representatives appeared on a business forum in Kazakhstan and Kabul and Astana signed for 200 million. USD contract for transportation of Kazakh wheat and flour to Afghanistan.
Taliban and revolutionary Islam
Afghanistan, and in fact the Afghan-Pak border, continues to be the focus of many, frequently conflicting, muslim organizations. In the last year, more than 2 100 attacks in Pakistan were carried out by the current pro-Western government of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). On Sunday, July 30, a bombing in which 54 people were killed, a political march organised by the Taliban related and participating in the Pakistani government coalition of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl) was conducted in Pakistani Bajaur by members of the State of the muslim state of Chorosan (ISIS-K), declaring their willingness to fight liberal democracy as a political system.
However, the affiliations and orientations of the second organization are alternatively vague. The Italian analytical service "Limes" indicates that ISIS-K was created in 2017 following the breakdown of ISIS into factions led by Ustad Moaway and Pakistani under Aslam Farooqi. The second was to be led from behind the scenes by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI, Pakistan military intelligence), providing muslim militants with financial and logistical support and shelter in the Af-Pak areas. According to the same source, ISIS-K is expected to keep contacts, among others, with the anti-Indian Lashkar-e-Taiba, Tehrik-i-Taliban, the Haqqani Network and the Taliban, although the the thesis of Italian analysts seems rather dubious here, as these organisations are active in regional conflicts in mutually hostile alliances.
In any case, according to Limes, the function of ISIS-K has increased, as it is utilized for activities that would compromise the Taliban active in the Ad-Dauh talks, which the second cannot so afford. However, according to 2 successive reports published by the United Nations in Afghanistan, there are about 20 muslim revolutionary groups (according to the Western nomenclature: “terrorists”). Unions are to be maintained, inter alia, by the Haqqani and Al-Qaida Network and Tehrik-i-Taliban and the Taliban and Al-Qaida.
Two years after his liberation from the Yankee occupation, Afghanistan (and especially the Af-Pak region) so remains a not transparent parent of muslim revolutionary groups. The US's twenty-year business only brought about that it showed that the process of "nation building" in this part of the planet has no chance of success. Under the Global Governance, the strategy will so effort to usage "indirect management", based on any local groups and setting up different local groups and factions against each other.
