Afghanistan – Bilateral Security Agreement with United States is Renouncing Sovereignty

November 20, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States troops withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 is negotiated through bilateral security agreement (BSA) for extension beyond scheduled date.

The pact includes controversial provisions such as grand immunity to foreign forces on crimes against Afghan citizens and nightly raids of Afghan homes without warning and warrants involving rape, killings and unprecedented violence towards Afghan people.

United States, NATO and foreign alliance illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan using 9/11 as pretext while sparing Israel and Saudi Arabia behind September 11 attack with then U.S. administration and intelligence committee complicity evidently a major political and military debacle  having learned nothing from previous experience.

Afghanistan war into thirteenth year since military intervention in October 2001 claimed thousands of innocent lives in that country and neighboring Pakistan as well as armed  personnel especially United States and Britain sustaining heavy losses and yet all casualties dismissed as collateral damages in the imperialistic quest unheeding ground reality.

The so-called war on terror evolving into terrorizing Afghan children, women and men regardless of age with drone attacks, intrusion conducting searches in Afghan houses at odd hours, detention of young Afghans in Bagram prison and centers run by western allies – Britain, Germany and Australia has reached a crescendo in foreign aggression prompting Taliban retaliation both ignoring civilian deaths in the war ravaged nation.

United States, Britain and coalition defense force misconduct ranging from shooting spree of Afghan population, burning holy Quran to desecration of deceased Afghans not regarded as crimes in the security arrangement despite the incidents constituting violation of national and international laws not barring human rights abuse in the typical civilized world.

On the economic front, the imperial powers tradition to destroy culture and social fabric maintained with poppy cultivation leaving nearly 1.5 million citizens addicted to drugs and those promoting narcotic trade profiteering from Afghan and rest of the world destruction due to contraband distribution in open and black markets ruining more lives to benefit self-proclaimed privileged members parasitic existence.

Afghanistan denied of economic growth also corrupted with foreign occupiers bribery to stifle nation building and accordingly declared a failed state lacking potential for self-governance justifying subjugation under colonial entity.

Reiterating the fact on corruption causing human suffering worldwide, the foreign political apparatus subservient to oligarchy and imperial era remnants care less about citizens anywhere whether domestic or abroad enforcing agenda prolonging status quo.

Afghan Loya Jirga representing tribal and rural community along with Parliamentary members entrusted with responsibility to cast votes on citizens behalf in accepting or rejecting deal with United States have unique opportunity to demonstrate national loyalty in declining monetary incentives from foreign and local authorities engaged in swaying decisions to Afghanistan detriment.

The elders from Loya Jirga and people representatives in Parliament are at crossroads to make political history honoring public opinion on BSA i.e. overwhelmingly in opposition to foreign presence on Afghan soil.

They bear collective responsibility in arriving at consensus that could liberate Afghanistan from imperial dominance and end foreign extension bringing relief to Afghans in the endurance of unlawful drone assaults and nightmare attributed to midnight ransacking of Afghan humble dwellings carried out with no regrets or remorse.

As for Taliban containment, United States and NATO sponsored terrorism in Libya, Iraq, Mali and now Syria hiring al-Qaeda and affiliates not excluding Taliban as allies ironically are adversaries in Afghanistan to perpetuate militarization of the nation.

Imperialism ascension and expansion in Afghanistan resulted in empires collapse providing valuable lessons on greed motivated violence with inevitable impact on the source.

Besides, wasting tax dollars in trillions on Afghanistan and Iraq wars arguably counterproductive considering ill consequences on the western and global economy.

The only beneficiaries could perhaps be drone manufacturers and investors seeking perennial harvest from heroin production discarding self-deterioration in the illusive pursuit for geopolitical monopoly.

Afghanistan government and heads of tribal groups rising to the occasion in recognition of Afghan will on BSA calling for unconditional and complete removal of all foreign deployment is the only alternative to reclaim Afghanistan freedom.

The concessions in this regard consenting to imperialistic aspirations would mean surrender of sovereignty and sacrificing Afghan future with irreversible outcome.

Hence, Afghan youths and others in civil society persistence to free Afghanistan could be exemplified in reminding Loya Jirga leaders and Parliament members not to compromise on Afghanistan territorial integrity and national identity in the critical decision making process.

Nations have choices for resistance or retention of vassal statehood subscribing to foreign feudalism.

Choosing former option would be restoring personal and national independence.

Contrarily, the latter is submission of destiny to authoritarianism.

Hopefully wisdom and patriotism would guide Afghanistan in the establishment of peace, stability and justice necessary for pervasive prosperity.

Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in republic empowerment.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you
