Latest U.S. Attack Makes Afghan Situation Worse
As the U.S. conducts more attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, RAWA says that the conditions in Afghanistan are worse than before the U.S.-led invasion.
“Operation Mountain Storm”, which began March 15, is the latest in a series of attacks that are weakening security all over Afghanistan.
“The US should pull out of Afghanistan and immediately cooperate with the UN to bring in peacekeeping forces that could actually improve the country,” said Sahar Saba, committee member for foreign affairs at the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan.
“The US ‘war on terrorism’ has caused so many miseries to our innocent people… It is painful to hear some Western leaders and media speak frequently about the ‘liberation’ of Afghanistan. Our land is not free yet.”
RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, was established in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1977 as an independent political/social organization of Afghan women fighting for human rights and for social justice in Afghanistan.
The US-led invasion replaced the Taliban with an equally cruel and dangerous regime. The Northern Alliance, now the basis for the interim Afghan government, is responsible for many atrocities such as rape and murder.
Simply replacing one fundamentalist regime in Afghanistan with another cannot root out terrorism, the Association says. The continued influence of fundamentalists and warlords poses a grave obstacle to the establishment of civil and governmental stability.
