- Dear Mr. Rense,
-
- On several occasions, I relied on your kindness in conveying
the pain and sufferings of my people. Most of the time I have articulated
their pain in light of the current disaster on by the US government. However,
today, I like to make a note of the recent history--the period that is
characterized by the loss of over 1.2 million Afghan lives, and 1 to 2
million maimed. This agony started with the invasion by the former Soviet
Union facilitated by their self-sold surrogates--the Afghan Communists--Khalqis
and Parchamis.
-
- The Russians installed a communist regime in late 1977
and early 1978. this regime resorted to Stalin style brutality of mass
murder and subjugation of the population--with the aim to eradicate Islamic
values from the Afghan society. There are very few cases of brutality that
rival the brutality of these murderer thugs of the communist regime.
-
- High school students of tenth grade had the right to
bring anyone they considered subversive and execute him. People in the
thousands were jailed and were executed. In fact, near the Pul-e-Charkhi
prison in Kabul, large craters would be prepared and then the officer in
charge would call Chief of the presidential guard asking him about the
number of buses he would send. Accordingly, the party officials at the
prison would round up that number of prisoners that would occupy all the
buses. Then the buses would be sent to the site of the dug out craters.
There, the prisoners would be lined up and shot, while some would be pushed
into the craters and buried alive. In fact, two brothers survived this
incident and lived to tell about it.
-
- In another example, the communist governor of Kandahar
murdered 34 peasants by beating them and using large rocks to crush their
heads. Finally Afghan people rose against the communist regime. The regime
was about to be toppled until their master--the Russians-the former USSR
came to the rescue.
-
- The Russians committed horrific crimes all over Afghanistan.
One Russian soldier was telling about his experience how he and his colleagues
burned entire families with gasoline to see how they would die. The Russians
used mastard gas in Bamian province and other parts of Afghanistan. They
used all the weapons in their weapons only to be defeated like dogs and
retreated in 1989. I lost many family members to the Russian soldiers,
but I also have many family members including myself that have blow russian
Spietnaz Special Forces to dirt.
-
- The US abandoned Afghanistan and left Afghanistan with
15 million mines, the following decade more than 1 million Afghans became
maimed by these mines. And then in 2001, they claimed they went there to
liberate us, what a joke.
-
- So, let this be known, the Afghans, including myself
have a utter hatred for the Russians--their peoiple and their governments--and
the communists, who currently exhibit themselves as the peaceful actors.
These mass murderers--Afghan communists--who have killed millions of Afghans
were given sanctuary in western Europe and the USA, a testimonial to the
hypocrisy of the West. For the US and her allies whenit serves its interests,
they would label others war criminals while given sactuary to the murderous
Khalqis and Parchamis--the Afghan communists. What a shame.
-
- We do not need Bin Ladens of the world to tell us who
our enemies are, we know--the enemies of Islam are our enemies--the Russians
and US governemnt and her allies--a fact established by several historical
precedents.

- Hate Is The Legacy Of The Soviet Invasion Of Afghanistan
-

-
- KABUL - A quarter of a century ago on this day, the Soviet
Union invaded Afghanistan. The attackers retreated a decade later, but
the thing which still remains is the hate in the heart of many an Afghan.
-
- The then-USSR invaded Afghanistan with 120,000 troops
on December 24. They were obliged to quit the country in 1989 due to the
strong resistance of Afghans. During those long years, one and a half million
Afghans were martyred and thousands of Russians soldiers died.
-
- Afghan national journal chief editor, Mohammad Hassan
Walsmal, said about the attack: "Russians were disloyal to Afghans
in friendship."
-
- He believed the Afghans were good neighbors of the Russians,
but that the latter ignored all the international standards and invaded
Afghanistan.
-
- They had oppressed the Afghans severely, he said. "Such
brutalities have been done that the mouth cannot say them and the pen cannot
write them."
-
- He says Afghans detest the Russians, that the cruelties
done by Russians are unforgettable, and that Afghans will have tart memories
for ever.
-
- But he noted: "There are still some people (Afghans)
that the Russians paid money, who consider Russians good."
-
- Regarding Afghanistan's current relations with Russia,
Khaliq Ahmed Khaliq, of the government's publication office, had only this
to say: "The Afghan government is trying to have good relations with
all neighbors, and with the Russian government have good relations as well."
-
- But hostility to that country remains a common theme.
-
- About how Afghans compared today's Russia with the Soviet
Union of a quarter of a century ago, Ruhollah Babakerkhil saw no difference.
-
- According to him, the invasion of the former USSR was
the responsibility of today's Russia.
-
- The education ministry transportation deputy, Mohammad
Omer Wasim, still felt the effects of that time. "The Russians are
the main cause of all misfortunes; Afghans are still in flames due to them."
-
- Larleed, a residence of Kabul, still considers the Russians
as the enemy. He believed any movement the Russians did with regard to
Afghanistan, even if it was of friendship, would be suspected as hostility
- because the Russians "did hostility in the name of help to our country."
-
- But Afghans who were adherents during that war, or lived
in areas controlled by the Russians, do not necessarily have bad opinions
about the Russians.
-
- In the north, an elderly shopkeeper in Mazar-e-Sharif,
Sherifullah, said that on the day the Russians arrival, he was very upset.
But when he saw they were only looking for their enemies, he said his concerns
were over.
-
- Forty-year-old Ahmed Saeer was also content: "The
Russians were good; they were even giving us razor blades on coupons."
-
- But Kabul resident, Doctor Sayed Aqaa Rahmatyar, says
of those still siding with the Russians: "They only remember their
coupon, but they forget the one and a half million innocent Afghans who
were martyred by Russians and their slaves."
-
- He noted the Russian defense minister,s recent statement
speech in India, claiming there was working for Pashtoonism in Afghanistan,
which could lead to fighting. Said the doctor: "The hostility of Afghans
has not come out of the Russian mind yet. That is why Afghans do not have
anything in their heart for friendship."
