DND Report
New Season of Jihad is under production in Syria on the old theme of establishing ‘The Islamic State Khorasan’ having all the characters and actors of Al-Qaeda Jihad Season but with a new Western attire. Foreign ministers and diplomats of Western countries are meeting and greeting the new leadership of old Al-Qaeda in Damascus asking what kind of help the West can provide to Al-Qaeda Part-II to rule Asia Minor as well as Central Asia and South Asia.
The new arrangement in Syria has several Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Uyghurs (Chinese Muslims) in the new army and they will not only oversee Jihad in Syria rather will lead thousands of Central Asian fighters present in Syria to launch Jihad in their respective countries of origin. The swift fall of Damascus is similar to the swift fall of Kabul in August 2021 and there are several similarities in pre-fall events of Damascus and Kabul. Reports are coming from Central Asia that Central Asian countries bordering Afghanistan express their fears that new Jihadi lot would be transported from Syria to Afghanistan soon and then would start their activities within Central Asian states.
The money provided by Washington to the Taliban is spent to spread unrest in the region
Reports of intelligence sharing networking among Central Asian states and Russia are undoubted that fears of Central Asian states are not unfounded because recent arrangements between Washington and Kabul confirm that Afghan Taliban have offered their services, as usual, to execute a larger plan of West in the region bordering countries that West considers as ‘adversaries’ such as Iran, Pakistan, China, and Russia that borders Central Asian states as well as Iran. There is no doubt that Russia and China understand the undercurrents of the emerging scenario therefore they are engaging with the Afghan Taliban and Putin’s special envoy, Zamir Kabulov who is an encyclopedia of CIA engagement in the region is having constant contact with Afghan Taliban and China is also engaging them but still Afghan Taliban on following what financially suit them and the reality of the financial cooperation between the US and the current Taliban Afghan government is no more a secret. The question Pakistan is working on is whether is the US showering dollars on the Afghan government for destabilizing the region, which would definitely harm Pakistan.
According to reports about $87 million in US aid is sent to Afghanistan every week, most of which is provided to the Taliban government and its armed groups. In addition, $10 million is given to the Taliban’s Doha office in Qatar every month in the name of “administrative expenses”. Around $40 million provided by Washington is spent on the so-called administrative expenses of the Afghan government, such as the police and Taliban forces, and $47 million is used by terrorist organizations to spread unrest in the region. There are eight primary sources for this $47 million, five of which are subject to international sanctions while three are on the FBI’s most wanted list. Interestingly, groups such as Haqqani are getting the benefit of US-sponsored money although this group is linked to more than 25 terrorist organizations. In addition, Al-Qaeda’s head of military operations, Saif al-Adl, and Osama bin Laden’s extended family are also included. Afghanistan, which has been a center of terrorism for decades, is still the stronghold of many of the world’s major terrorist organizations. About 30 terrorist organizations are active on Afghan soil. Surprisingly, despite international sanctions and lack of cooperation, the Afghan government not only maintains its position but is also sponsoring these organizations.
US-left NATO grade weapons are already in use against Pakistan
Creating safe havens for terrorist organizations in Afghanistan is not possible without the design of Western powers. The direct or indirect support provided by the United States to these organizations is clear evidence that unrest and chaos are being deliberately fostered in the region. Pakistan, which has already fought a long war on terrorism, is the biggest victim of this US-Taliban arrangements and US-left NATO grade weapons are already in use against Pakistan. Attacks, infiltrations, and terrorist incidents on Pakistan from Afghan soil have become routine. Attacks on Chinese projects in Balochistan, increasing terrorism in the tribal areas, and TTP activities are also part of this conspiracy. This situation is disastrous not only for Pakistan but for the entire region. The nexus between the US and the Afghan government has severely damaged the peace of Pakistan. Afghan people are suffering from hunger and poverty, while on the other hand, the Afghan government is busy supporting terrorist organizations. Imagine if intelligence reports of Russia and Central Asian countries were true indicating that sooner Syrian Jihad Season would arrive at the doors of Tajikistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran, what would be the scenario then? It will take hardly one day to transport Jihadi from Syria to Afghanistan through special flights such as US-sponsored in the 1980s.
The most crucial question is whether will China, Pakistan, Russia, and Central Asian states fight the New Seasons of Jihad together or will everybody think of their immediate interests.
