In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

It is now clear as the broad day light that the August 20 elections in Afghanistan was readily ludicrous and preposterous which caused more shame and disgrace to the surrogate regime in Kabul. Only a minuscule numbers of voters participated in the polling from among the 30 million Afghans. Still the elections were fraught with fraud, ballot stuffing and corruption.

A great number of Afghans observed a complete boycott. It is still a matter of extreme shame for the supporters of the sham democracy, that they were merely able to announce the results after the passage of two months.

Furthermore, the Independent Election Commission has no power to declare either the real winner on the basis of the data or at least say who is the culprit behind all these anomalies because backroom politics of main players are involved in the whole process.

The Afghan Mujahideen have been reiterating for the past eight years that the Americans and the coalition allies are never ready to render any service beneficial to the Afghans against their vital interests, let alone expecting them to work for the general prosperity and comfort of the Afghans.

The roads, which have been asphalted, is only for the facility of the invaders military logistic who want to reach their destinations on time and to prevent road side bombs. Still they have not asphalted the roads according to the international standard of road tarmac. Generally, these roads are unusable after the passage of a time. As to other rehabilitation and reconstruction work, they raise only empty slogans, which have not been materialized.

If the Americans and their allies had not their goals and hidden agenda, they would not have blocked the way of the elections results from being declared soon. But they did not achieve what they wanted to achieve as a result of the elections.

This is why they are themselves sacrificing the so-called democracy, which they are supposed to build. By doing so, they have manifested that they are abiding by the rules and the slogans as long as they correspond with their interests. Otherwise, they are not bound by any rule.

Generally, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan believes that August 20 elections were never in the interest of the Afghans but still the current squabbling and humiliation exposed the elections seem more ridiculous.

We believe the only way out of this vortex is that the Afghans should hold to their religious and national values and bravely confront and boycott the projects of the invaders categorically.
