NEWS & LETTERS, December 2001No to the Northern Alliance!
The world should understand that the Northern Alliance
(NA) is composed of some bands who did show their real criminal and inhuman
nature when they were ruling Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996. The retreat of the terrorist Taliban from Kabul is a
positive development, but the entering of the rapist and looter NA in the city
is nothing but dreadful and shocking news for two million residents of Kabul
whose wounds of the years 1992-96 have not healed. Thousands of people who fled Kabul during the past two
months were saying that they feared the coming to power of the NA in Kabul much
more than being scared by the U.S. bombing. The Taliban and Al Qaeda will be eliminated, but the
existence of the NA as a military force would shatter the joyful dream of the
majority for an Afghanistan free from the odious chains of the barbaric Taliban.
The NA will horribly intensify the ethnic and religious conflicts and will never
refrain to fan the fire of another brutal and endless civil war in order to
retain in power. The terrible news of looting and inhuman massacre of the
captured Taliban or their foreign accomplices in Mazar-i-Sharif speaks for
itself. Though the NA has learned how to pose sometimes before
the West as "democratic" and even supporters of women's rights, in
fact they have not at all changed, as a leopard cannot change its spots. Time is running out. RAWA appeals to the UN and world
community as a whole to pay urgent and considerable heed to the recent
developments in our ill-fated Afghanistan before it is too late. We would like to emphatically ask the UN to send its
effective peace-keeping force into the country before the NA can repeat its
unforgettable crimes. The UN should withdraw its recognition to the so-called
Islamic government headed by Rabbani and help the establishment of a broad-based
government based on democratic values. RAWA's call stems from the aspirations of
the vast majority of the people of Afghanistan. Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan Nov. 13, 2001 |
