    RAWA communiqué on Universal Human Rights Day,  Dec.10, 2007 


The US and Her Fundamentalist Stooges are
the Main Human Rights  Violators in Afghanistan 


The US and her allies tried to legitimize their military  occupation of 
Afghanistan under the banner of “bringing freedom and  democracy for Afghan people”
. But as we have experienced in the past three  decades, in regard to the 
fate of our people, the US government first of  all considers her own political 
and economic interests and has empowered  and equipped the most traitorous, 
anti-democratic, misogynist and corrupt  fundamentalist gangs in Afghanistan.  

Human rights  violations are widespread across Afghanistan 

In the past few years, for a thousand times the lies of US  claims in the 
so-called “War on terror” were uncovered. By relying on the  criminal bands of 
the Northern Alliance, the US made a game of values like  democracy, human 
rights, women’s rights etc. thus disgracing our mournful  nation. The US created a 
government from those people responsible for  massacres in Pul-e-Charkhi, 
Dasht-e-Chamtala, Kapisa, Karala,  Dasht-e-Lieli, 65,000 Kabulis and tens of mass 
graves across the country.  Now the US tries to include infamous killers like 
Mullah Omer and  Gulbuddin Hekmatyar into the government, which will be 
another big  hypocrisy in the “war against terror”.  
The reinstatement of the Northern Alliance to power crushed  the hopes of our 
people for freedom and prosperity into desperation and  proved that for the 
Bush administration, defeating terrorism so that our  people can be happy, have 
no significance at all. The US administration  plays a funny anti-Taliban 
game and pretends that a super power is unable  to defeat a small, marginalized 
and medieval-minded gang which is actually  her own product. But our people 
found by experience in the past few years  that the US doesn’t want to defeat the 
Taliban and Al-Qaeda, because then  they will have no excuse to stay in 
Afghanistan and work towards the  realization of its economical, political and 
strategic interests in the  region.  
After about seven years, there is no peace, human rights,  democracy and 
reconstruction in Afghanistan. On the contrary, the  destitution and suffering of 
our people has doubled everyday. Our people,  and even our unfortunate 
children, fall victim to the Jehadis’ infighting  (Baghlan incident), the Taliban’s 
untargeted blasts and the US/NATO’s  non-stop bombardments. The Northern 
Alliance blood-suckers, who are part  of Karzai’s team and have key government 
posts, continue to be the main  and the most serious obstacle towards the 
establishment of peace and  democracy in Afghanistan. The existence of tens of illegal 
private  security companies run by these mafia bands are enough to realize 
their  sinister intentions and the danger they pose.  
Human rights violations, crime, and corruption have reached  their peak, so 
much so that Mr. Karzai is forced to make friendly pleas to  the ministers and 
members of the parliament, asking them to “keep some  limits”! Accusations 
about women being raped in prisons were so numerous  that even a pro-warlord 
woman in the parliament had no choice but to  acknowledge them.  
Rabbani, Khalili, Massoud, Sayyaf, Fahim, Ismael and other  criminals for the 
sake of being “ISI” and “VEVAK” agents could become  “leaders” in the 
early 90’s, invited their god-father General Hamid Gul of  ISI to become their 
army chief. But today they raise anti-Pakistan slogans  to hide their corruption 
and wrong-doings. In this act they even go  further and abuse Pakistani 
people. But they never talk about the dirty  act of Pakistan in creating 
fundamentalist bands and imposing them on our  people. More importantly, they keep silent 
about the wider, more  devastating and more active meddling of the brutal 
Iranian regime in  Afghanistan through its cultural and media agents. Pro-Iranian 
regime  politicians and intellectuals are as much traitorous to democracy and 
 human rights as the intellectuals and politicians who, from an  ethnocentric 
and reactionary point of view, call the barbarism and terror  of Taliban a “
national armed resistance,” and shamelessly defend them.  
The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan  (RAWA) has 
announced a number of times that when the legislative,  administrative and judicial 
bodies are ruled by drug-lords and warlords or  their Talibi, Gulbudini, 
Parchami and Khalqi accomplices, they will never  do anything positive for our 
deprived people. Rather these bodies will act  as a mechanism to continue the 
ongoing crime, drug-trade and looting by  these mafia bands to become richer.  
If the US government replaces Karzai with a new puppet, even  if he is not 
from among the Jehadi criminals, it will be just a deception  of our people and 
an attempt to put the responsibilities of today’s  tragedies on the shoulders 
of a single person. Such a move will have no  positive outcome for our nation. 
Only a president who rely on people and  come to power through a fair 
election, free from any kind of dependence or  dealings with the fundamentalists, 
would be ideal for Afghan people.  
Instead of defeating Al-Qaeda, Taliban and Gulbuddini  terrorists and 
disarming the Northern Alliance, the foreign troops are  creating confusion among the 
people of the world. We believe that if these  troops leave Afghanistan, our 
people will not feel any kind of vacuum but  rather will become more free and 
come out of their current puzzlement and  doubts. In such a situation, they 
will face the Taliban and Northern  Alliance without their “national” mask, and 
rise to fight with these  terrorist enemies. Neither the US nor any other 
power wants to release  Afghan people from the fetters of the fundamentalists. 
Afghanistan’s  freedom can be achieved by Afghan people themselves. Relying on 
one enemy  to defeat another is a wrong policy which has just tightened the 
grip of  the Northern Alliance and their masters on the neck of our nation.  
By publishing the book “Some Documents of t_he Bloody and  Traitorous Jehadi 
Years”, RAWA has taken another small step in unmasking  and prosecuting the 
war criminals of the past three decades. But we will  not stop here. In the face 
of continuous threats by the terrorists sitting  in the parliament and the 
government, we will not be intimidated and  despite the passivity and 
compromises of intellectuals in this regard, we  are determined that with the help of 
justice-loving people and  organizations of Afghanistan and around the world, 
will work to push the  war criminals into a court of justice and reclaim 
billions of dollars  worth of national assets from them. Only then the eyes of our  
grief-stricken people may no longer burn endlessly for justice and  democracy.
