Afghans protesting when:

Taliban eliminate women from society ❌

Taliban rape and kill women ❌

Taliban abduct, torture, kill thousands of Tajiks and Hazaras ❌

Taliban drive country deep into widespread poverty and risks famine ❌

Afghan cricket team faces boycott ✅✅✅

[Jamshid @JamshidTajik1]

'That the Taliban even allows cricket is because the sport is popular among Pakhtun men, a source of their power. To the Taliban, cricket is just a pawn in the public image game. Letting them play is nothing short of sportwashing'

[Hello, PhD @MrFreeFighter]

"Why aren’t men in Afghanistan rising up for their women?"

This question, often asked by those unaware of the full picture, dismisses the sacrifices of thousands who are fighting to free their women and their country. But the reason why these voices are silenced runs deep, rooted in centuries of colonial manipulation and geopolitical interference. If you’re serious about understanding why so many believe that men aren’t fighting the Taliban, here’s the real story:

Colonial Manipulation:

In the early 1800s, the British Empire was busy looting India’s immense wealth. India, known as the "crown jewel" of the empire, provided the riches that fueled British colonial ambitions—over $40 trillion stolen, driving India’s share of global GDP from 25-35% down to just 2% by the time the British were finally expelled in 1947.

Worried that Russia might invade from the north and disrupt their plunder of India, the British needed a buffer state between India and the Russian Empire. The land we now call "Afghanistan" was then known as Khorasan, and the British needed a loyal group to control this territory. Enter the Pashtuns, a group living along the border of British India and Khorasan.

Pashtuns were chosen by the British as their local enforcers. In return for loyalty and subservience, the British rewarded them with power. They renamed the region "Afghanistan" in the late 1800s, creating a new identity for the Pashtuns and consolidating their control. The term "Afghan" itself was a British fabrication, designed to unite the Pashto-speaking ethnicities under one identity.

Pashtun Hegemony and the Suppression of the native Tajiks:

For over a century, this colonial design has remained intact. The British, and later the Americans, installed Pashtun puppets who would serve their interests, all while suppressing the native Tajik majority, who have always been at the forefront of resistance.

Tajik men have freed the people twice from this colonial oppression. In 1929, King Kalakani, a Tajik, successfully overthrew the British-installed Pashtun monarchy, only to be assassinated and replaced with another Pashtun puppet. More recently, in the 1990s, the Tajik-led Northern Alliance, under President Rabbani and the legendary Ahmad Shah Massoud, defeated the Soviet-backed Pashtun rulers. But once again, foreign powers intervened—this time, the Americans. Instead of supporting the legitimate government of Rabbani, they installed two unelected Pashtun presidents, effectively sidelining the Tajik resistance.

The Taliban: A Western Creation:

The Taliban, a Pashtun group, was created in the 1980s by the US as part of its Cold War strategy. The Taliban is used as a tool to maintain Pashtun dominance over Afghanistan. The US government’s secret Doha Agreement in 2021 was a formal handover of the country to the Taliban, who had always been part of their long-term strategy.

Today, the Taliban isn’t just a homegrown insurgency—it’s a group that has been continually supported and maintained by foreign interests. American taxpayer dollars have funded the Taliban, and US drones patrol the skies, tracking down Tajik resistance fighters from the National Resistance Front (NRF) and the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), only to relay their locations to the Taliban for elimination. This isn’t just a fight against the Taliban—it’s a fight against the full weight of foreign intervention, designed to maintain Pashtun rule.

[Hello, PhD @MrFreeFighter]

Why Pakistan initially fell in love with the Taliban:

The US institute for Afghanistan Studies spent billions of $ opening 1,300 madrassas all over the Pashtun belt in Pakistan.

By 1979 the USA & KSA collectively sent $17.8 Billion (inflation adjusted to 2023) to Pakistan to arm and fund the Taliban they created alongside warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

Pakistan received a sum equal to their entire GDP to make sure the Frankenstein that is the Taliban is created for America.

Pakistan's establishment thought they had won the lottery and could embezzle some of this money for themselves while creating a Taliban beholden to them, ending Pashtun nationalist larobar irredentist aspirations.

What had happened instead was that it was Ahmad Shah Massoud and the Northern Alliance that defeated the Soviets, expelling them and taking over Kabul.

America's Taliban failed to secure Kabul and the north fully. Ahmad Shah Massoud is assassinated two days before 9/11, and then America spends 20 years punishing the Taliban for straying.

While new Taliban recruits were created from the leftover orphans of the south's bombing, anti-Taliban commanders from the Northern Alliance were being systematically assassinated.

The August 15th handover happens.

The Taliban were obedient for a while but too barbaric to achieve recognition on the international stage.

After the handover to the Taliban on August 15th 2021, the Taliban were returning to their Pashtun nationalist ways and pointing their newfound American weapons at their handler Pakistan.

Today we are seeing both Pakistan and Iran learn a painful lesson that the Taliban can not be detached from their Pashtun nationalist irredentism and from their subservience to American interests.

In 1930 there were Tajik uprisings in Koh-e Daman. The Afghan government called for tribal reinforcements because "Pathan rule of Kabul was in danger .. "

Afghan tribal mercenaries looted Tajik villages and the Afghan state executed Tajik leaders who led the rebellions.

The taliban follow Pashtunwali Afghan culture and overlook Islamic laws and customs in favor of tribal laws.

Among non-Persianized Pashtuns, such as the taliban, they still forbid women from participating in life outside the 'home or the grave'.

[History of Khorâsân and the Persianate World @BiruniKhorasan]

The Tajiks of Shamali/Parwan (northern Kabul), Kapisa, Panjshir and Baghlan got probably one of the most amazing and underrated martial cultures in the world.

This people crushed the Mongols, Brits and Soviets. Who else achieved ever something like that?

Fascinating how so many Tajiks each have their own gradual “realisation” journey towards the inevitable conclusion — impossibility of political reconciliation with Pashtuns.

For me, it commenced in 2001 — hearing of some Pashtuns celebrating ASM’s killing and my dad (apolitical but pro-massoud for most of his life) justifying Karzai to me by saying “the leader in Afghanistan has to be a Pashtun”. I was so confused by that. Since my Kabul days, I used to think “Pashtun” was a family and we are all Afghan and that notion of exclusivity confused me.

Gradually, my interactions with Pashtuns introduced me to their sinister concepts of “original Afghans” “larawbar” “older brother” “saqawi” etc.

Then I read and read and read and witnessed history of 2010 to present.

2014 Elections was the moment I questioned unity.

Ghani years and to present Taliban have killed most of my aspirations and hope for unity.

[History of Khorâsân and the Persianate World @BiruniKhorasan]

Life is short and beautiful. Our Tajiks should have the right and opportunity to enjoy it. Alas our people are forced to either fight or suffer under a tribal terrorist system.

As Farid Attar said “this shall pass too”. Taliban will be gone but our heroes won’t be forgotten.

[Khalis @SP4124]

General Akmal Ameer and his soldiers bravely gave their lives in the pursuit of liberty & dignity for their people.

May their sacrifice inspire unity among Tajiks, as this is the only solution in overcoming the unified forces of Pashtunism and Awghaniat!

RIP brothers!

The ideological beliefs & thought process of a Kandahari in 1998, during the first Taliban occupation.

At first, he defers to Islam to explain the limit of women in his view of society.

Then, he reveals that Pashtuns do not want women to go to school, as it is considered taboo.

@TheNewSchool I sincerely hope this terrorist sympathiser and Taliban apologist hasn't come to study at your institution. Would be a real shame and blackmark on your reputation if he was.
