Colonialism (Part 32)
The failure of colonialism in Afghanistan
What was mentioned in the previous discussions was a small part of the plans and functions of the colonizers in Afghanistan, a detailed and exact evaluation and analysis of the activities and movements that they did to achieve their colonial and occupation goals, requires comprehensive and deeper research and exploration. There are many books and articles that can be written and collected in this field.
In any case, what is pleasant, and a source of pride is that the colonial movement of the Westerners and their agents, with all its dimensions and angles, was defeated in Afghanistan and their hypocrisy was shattered. By changing their colonial tactics, the colonialist countries hoped to win at this stage of their all-out encroachment on Afghanistan and to be able to adapt and implement their colonial ideas, but this time they also faced the fierce resistance of the faithful and Muslim people of Afghanistan. They were unable to achieve their goals and dreams.
The colonization of Western countries in Afghanistan was done in two important ways, system and intellectual, and their failure also happened in both dimensions, in the military dimension, the efforts and sacrifices of the martyred and mujahid nation of Afghanistan were an important means to achieve conquest and victory. It was to break the power of the colonialists.
Among the most important reasons for the success of the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan against the colonial powers and occupying countries, the following can be mentioned:
1- Strong faith and firm Islamic belief in the rules and commandments of the Islamic religion and not turning these rules into laws of the human condition.
2- Anti-colonialism and the long and lasting battle with the colonizers and not accepting their demands and requests.
3- Correct understanding of religious teachings about Islamic Jihad and its methods and methods.
4- Accepting and enduring countless hardships and difficulties in the way of fighting and confronting the invaders and fighting against the colonialists.
5- A unified leadership in the path of Islamic Jihad and the fight against colonialists and not accepting partisanship and partisanship in this direction.
6- Having regular and purposeful organizations in the way of anti-colonialism and using Sharia concepts and teachings about Islamic Jihad.
7- Not accepting bribes and threats from colonialist countries and avoiding materialism.
8- Sacrifice and dedication of thousands of martyrs and wounded in the way of liberating the country from colonialism and occupation.
9- Mentoring and educating people who, along with jihad and struggle, learned contemporary and religious sciences and were armed with the weapons of science and jihad.
10- Paying attention to the cultural and media sector and filling this void by people who had true faith.
