Subject: [Peoples War] Statement: Communist Party Of Afghanistan ( Maoist
R.I.M. Participant )
Forward in Organising and Unleashing People�s Resistance to Imperialist
Aggression!
By the Communist Party of Afghanistan, 17 September 2001
Once again the suffering people and the grief-stricken country of
Afghanistan are being subjected to imperialist invasion and occupation, this
time under the pretext of the "war against terrorism". The U.S. imperialists
have declared this a world-wide battle and intend to broadly unite the
globe�s other imperialists and reactionaries behind them.
The slogan of a "world-wide war against terrorism" is a big lie because it
is raised by the biggest terrorist power in the world. The Yankees have been
wounded in their own home and this wound, no matter who inflicted it, is
painful, not only because of the scale of the damage and casualties, but
especially because it has revealed to the masses of the world the general
weakness of the system and the fragility of the edifice of imperialist world
domination. That is why they shriek like a wounded beast and howl for bloody
vengeance. In fact, they want to display their might in the most terrifying
way and scare the people of the world so that their world-wide power and
domination is not weakened. That is why their proclaimed "world-wide war
against terrorism" will be one of the bloodiest imperialist state-terrorist
campaigns, overall and in particular for Afghanistan.
Who organised and carried out the suicide actions in New York and
Washington? Osama bin Laden and the gangs related to him have been declared
suspect number one. But who is Osama? He is a product of the CIA. For years
he was an open and obedient servant of the Yankees, and it is possible that
even now he may be linked to a section or sections of the imperialist
powers. The American imperialists themselves created, bred and trained this
"great terrorist". The gangs connected to this "great mujahedin" have taken
an active part in a series of the most terrifying and barbaric acts against
the masses of Afghanistan, with the direct and indirect consent,
encouragement and support of the American imperialists and their allies, who
have built up these gangs to use them against our people and invade our
country.
Who is being targeted for the same "severe repression" as the "terrorists"
for having given them refuge? The Taliban regime tops the list. But who are
the Taliban? U.S. imperialism & Co. pulled them out of the dark corners of
mosques and religious schools to achieve their imperialist political and
economic goals in Afghanistan and the region. It was this support that took
the Taliban from begging at people�s doors to the heights of power. During
the years of their rule, these bestial terror-mongers have not shrunk from
mass murder, killing thousands of people and forcibly displacing hundreds of
thousands more under the pretext of suppressing opposition to their
reactionary rule. Without a doubt, the very essence of their politics in
relation to the masses of people, the toilers, women and oppressed
nationalities, is horror and terrorism. Their gangs, whose self-proclaimed
task is to "bring order to the good and discourage the bad", are a savage
reflection of this horror and terror.
It is clear that imperialism�s hand-picked servants are appreciated only as
long as they are useful, and when their usefulness ends or their existence
becomes bothersome for the masters, or when there are grounds to exchange
them for better servants, they become worthless and lose the support of the
masters or are even subjected to the master�s rage. Mobuto, Suharto,
Fujimori., etc., are among those obedient imperialist lackeys who, after
years of serving their masters, lost their ability to perform their function
in the face of the struggle of the masses, became useless, and were put
aside. But Noriega of Panama, whose existence had become troublesome for the
master, became a target of attack and was not only toppled from power but
arrested and sent handcuffed to the U.S. for "trial". It is very likely that
such a fate awaits Osama and Mullah Omar. The Taliban project in its
entirety, including the establishment of the Osama-led gangs in Afghanistan,
was meant to bring about the political stability desired by the U.S.
imperialists and their allies in the country and pave the way for their
influence in central Asia. But this project not only failed to bear fruit
for the U.S. imperialists, it turned into its opposite and became not only a
barrier to their influence in central Asia, but a nuisance for them
altogether. That is why the Taliban and Osama lost U.S. support and now face
the fury of their American masters -- not because this world-eating power is
against terrorism and fright-mongering. Aren�t the U.S. imperialists the
number one supporter of Zionism and the occupying and fright-mongering state
of Israel, one of the most blood-thirsty gangs of horror, terror, murder and
plunder in the world? Why aren�t Zionism and the state of Israel targets of
U.S. imperialism�s "world-wide war against terrorism"? It is clear that, far
from being a target of the "war", they even comprise an important section of
this war camp.
Further, the slogan of "Jihad against American blasphemy" raised by the
Osama gang, and now repeated by the Taliban as well, is also a big lie and a
great hypocrisy. The masses of Afghanistan have felt with their flesh and
tasted with their lives the "fruits" and "benefits" of this "jihad against
corruption and decadence". It is crystal clear that this "jihad" in
Afghanistan against the invasion of "American blasphemy", even if it could
be turned from an empty slogan into action, will yield no better result or
fruit for the country and the people. What is more likely is that either
these hand-picked servants will in one way or another strike a deal with
their revered masters, or in the face of their aggression and invasion
rapidly flee the field.
In this context, the desperate and gloomy condition of the reactionaries at
war with the Taliban, that is the "Islamic state of Afghanistan" [the
Northern Alliance � translator], who have recently become commander-less and
"orphans", is disgusting and despicable. These lowly reactionaries have
already been eating from the feed trough of Russia and India and their
allies in the Afghanistan affair. Now they repeatedly declare that they are
willing to serve the U.S. imperialist aggressors with the hope that like
vultures they will get a piece of the corpse to eat.
In any event, there is a clear demarcation and contradiction between the
interests of the people of Afghanistan, on the one hand, and on the other
not only those of the U.S. imperialists and their imperialist and
reactionary allies and the world imperialist system in general, but also the
interests of the lackeys of the imperialists and the reactionary and
dependent system.
It is the absolute right and responsibility of the people of Afghanistan to
resist the invasion and occupation of the U.S. imperialists and their
allies, just as it was to resist the invasion and occupation of the Soviet
social-imperialists. But the nature of this right and responsibility puts
them into contradiction with the imperialist lackeys, whether obedient or
disobedient, including the [Taliban�s] "Islamic Emirate". The experience of
the war of resistance against Soviet social-imperialism must be studied more
deeply and applied in the present situation.
The Communist Party of Afghanistan strongly condemns U.S. imperialism�s
threats of aggression and strongly resolves to stand against it if such an
imperialist invasion and occupation takes place, and will strive to organise
and unleash the people�s resistance under the independent revolutionary
banner as part of the world revolution. Only if this just cause becomes a
material force and is increasingly strengthened and expanded can we advance
the anti-U.S. imperialist war of resistance as a stage of People�s War and
the New Democratic Revolution in Afghanistan. A crucial condition of this
cause is that "pan-Islamism" and the present ruling reactionary "theocracy",
whether of the Taliban or non-Taliban variety, continue to be one of the
main targets of the revolutionary struggles, and that the struggle against
it be carried out in different forms. Otherwise, once again the precious
blood of the masses will be wasted and the chains of oppression and slavery
will remain intact.
Down with imperialism and reaction!
Hold high the banner of people�s resistance against imperialist aggression!
Long live revolution, long live communism!
The Communist Party of Afghanistan is a participating party in the
Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.
