  • US Needs the Taliban to Justify Its Military Presence in Afghanistan
    US Needs the Taliban to Justify Its Military Presence in Afghanistan Interview with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) "US Policy Abroad Doesn't Change under New Presidents" By Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan and Region: Asia, USA Edu Montesanti Theme: Media Disinformation, Militarization Global Research, January 11, 2018 and WMD In-depth Report: AFGHANISTAN “Whoever sits in the White House will continue to serve the 1% and spread wars across the world, to maintain the US hegemony. Many corporations, arms manufacturers and corporate-employed mercenaries, benefit from the war itself, or from extravagant reconstruction opportunities the war destruction creates. The increase in the number of US troops is not to secure the country or annihilate the US creations, the Taliban and ISIS, but rather a show of US power to rivals, Russia, China and Iran. Despite all their differences, the US and Iran’s aim in Afghanistan converge on one point: the promotion of fundamentalist thought, and continued support for the most reactionary, dark-minded and criminal fundamentalist elements. While the US killed hundreds of Afghan revolutionaries and freedom-fighters through its fundamentalist mercenaries in the 1980s and 90s, it used these tactics to prevent the rise of nationalist, freedom-fighting and independent figures and forces that would resist its occupation and bullying,” saysFriba, RAWA’s representative. * Edu Montesanti: Please speak on the protest in Kabul last October: What exactly did hundred of Afghans protest that day? Friba, spokesperson for RAWA: The protest on October 6th, was staged by the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan (SPA) against the 16th anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan.

Rabia Latif Khan Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2020 South Asia Section, School of Languages, Cultures & Linguistics SOAS, University of London 1 Abstract: The purpose of this research has been to examine narrative and identity among the Hazara community in England and Hazara transnational connections. Within this thesis I study two Hazara-specific narratives: one on ‘marginality’ and the other about ‘overcoming’ and how these narratives interact with Hazara conceptualisations of identity. These narratives both relate to Hazara history, in that the narrative of marginality relates to the subjugation of the community since the insurrection of Hazarajat and subsequent instances of discrimination and injustice, while the narrative of overcoming stems from the post-2001 gains of the community in Afghanistan.
