[REGNUM] The situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate. After the evacuation of foreign troops from Kabul and the fall of the pro-American government, terrorist attacks continue in major cities. According to The New York Times, "in a matter of weeks, suicide bombings in Kabul and other cities killed at least 90 people and injured hundreds."


Continued from Page 4


The last terrorist attack took place in Kabul, as a result of which 23 people died and 50 more were injured.

According to forecasts of American experts, the "season of terrorist attacks" in Afghanistan will continue. In total, since the Taliban seized Kabul, almost 20 bloody actions have already taken place in the country. The situation is aggravated by the following circumstances. After coming to power, the Taliban, which has been conducting armed struggle against foreign invaders for twenty years, faced the problems of governing the country, the need to ensure not only the safety and security of law and order and the establishment of normal life in the country.

But it lacks internal legitimacy and the factor of international recognition. Various radical groups are trying to take advantage of this, in particular, ISIS, who "wear down the new and inexperienced government with terrorist attacks." And this is only one side of the problem: recently, Afghan politicians and representatives of the former leadership of the country announced the creation of the Supreme Council of National Resistance (SCNR) and called on residents to prepare for "difficult and long-term resistance to internal tyranny, foreign aggression and occupation."

The initiators of the creation of the council were politicians outside the country: Atta Mohammad Nur
...also spelt Atta Muhammad Noor and Ata Mohammad Noor, the Balkh-born Tajik who fought against the Soviets in the Mujahideen — they called him The Teacher for his passion for educating the fighters — then against the Taliban in the Northern Alliance, then was appointed governor of Balk province by President Hamid Karzai, in which role he introduced stability and erased poppy cultivation...
(was a successful governor of Balkh), Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
(leader of the Uzbek community) and Mohammad Yunus Qanuni
...last seen in Rantburg — under that spelling — in 2015...
(an influential Afghan politician, is one of the leaders of the Jamiat-e-Islami party) / Islamic Society of Afghanistan).

By the way, it was on the eve of the Moscow format summit that the new structure was announced in Turkey. Ankara made it clear to the United States, Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan and India that it is also in the game and, if anything, it is necessary to negotiate with it.

According to many experts, "most likely, the members of the Armed Forces will sit in Istanbul and wait until some forces do the main work, in order to then enter power on their shoulders, as it was in the early 2000s." In addition, at the end of September, the establishment of a government in exile was announced, which was headed by Amrullah Saleh, the former vice-president of the country.

This "government" published an 18-part declaration, said it would "create a Supreme State Council for its implementation in the near future," and noted that it supported the ARCN, although the latter replied that "it has nothing to do with Saleh's government."

Let's designate one important feature of the situation. The intra-Afghan process is developing according to its own logic. If earlier there were the Taliban and their opponents, the Northern Alliance, who fought among themselves, now in addition to the Taliban, several other groups operate on the territory of Afghanistan. political forces and "centers".

Paradoxically, the Taliban uses the increasing terrorist activity of ISIS as one of the means of pressure on the world community in order to gain international recognition. By the way, this thesis is actively promoted by the Americans, who accuse the Taliban for refusing to cooperate with them in the fight against ISIS, "Waging a war only on their own terms."

But it is still unclear whether ISIS is a serious threat to the new government. Therefore, the task of the world community is to organize support for those forces in Afghanistan that are able to prevent the implementation of the most negative scenario and ensure security. At the moment, it is still the Taliban, despite the fact that Russia and the West largely disagree with it.

However, it is with this force that the main external players are negotiating. which are able to prevent the implementation of the most negative scenario and ensure safety.

In Doha and. O. Afghan Foreign Minister Mullah Amir Khan Muttaki met with diplomats from 14 countries, including China, South Korea, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Japan. It is reported that the parties reaffirmed their existing positions: the diplomats called on the Taliban to observe the principles of international law, respect human rights and eradicate terrorism. The Taliban government held talks in Kabul with a Turkmen delegation led by Turkmen Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov.

He turned out to be the fourth foreign minister to visit Kabul after the Taliban came to power. Earlier, the Foreign Ministers of Qatar, Uzbekistan and Pakistan held talks there. Besides, Tehran hosted the second meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Afghanistan's neighboring countries - Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan; Foreign Ministers of Russia and China participated by video link.

Everyone understands that Afghanistan "is a country of interaction and cooperation between various groups, and whenever this interaction and cooperation was ignored, peace, stability and tranquility in Afghanistan were threatened." But who exactly and how can offer the participants in the intra-Afghan process a mechanism of cooperation acceptable to all in order to launch mobilization work to collect resources for financial, economic and humanitarian aid to Afghans? In a country where the war has been going on for 40 years, it will not be possible to eliminate the threats quickly.
