Afghanistan: Attacco USA con drone uccide 60 civili
|

Mentre i media corporativi negli Stati Uniti sono occupati sugli eventi in Iran, in particolare sulla recente ammissione dell'Iran che il volo 752 dell'Ucraina International Airlines è stato accidentalmente abbattuto dai suoi militari, altre notizie ugualmente - se non più importanti - sono state in gran parte ignorate o sorvolate durante il crescente conflitto occhio-per-occhio tra i due paesi.(Traduzione automatica)

Afghanistan: Squadre della morte con il sostegno della CIA terrorizzano la popolazione
|
|
Secondo un rapporto di Human Rights Watch di giovedì, Squadre della morte appoggiate dalla CIA in Afghanistan hanno commesso una serie di violazioni dei diritti umani nell'ultimo anno, e probabilmente i gruppi paramilitari saranno l'eredità duratura della guerra degli Stati Uniti nel paese.

Il Presidente Trump ha ORDINATO il ritiro di 7.000 militari dall'Afghanistan.

Piu' a lungo Washington rimane, piu' droga esce dall'Afghanistan
|
|
Secondo i dati resi noti dall’Ufficio delle Nazioni Unite per il
controllo della droga e la prevenzione del crimine, all’incirca 30
milioni di persone in tutto il mondo possono essere considerate
consumatori abituali di stupefacenti. Questo significa che tutta questa
gente non solo è assuefatta alla droga, ma necessita anche di un
trattamento professionale. A causa del commercio illegale di sostanze
stupefacenti, costantemente in aumento, ogni anno muoiono circa 100.000
persone. Dal 2011, l’Europa ha assistito ad un incremento del 30% dei
consumatori di cocaina, mentre, solo l’anno scorso, la produzione
mondiale di oppio è aumentata del 33%.

L'Afghanistan ha un futuro?
|
|
Spesso si sente
paragonare il conflitto siriano con la guerra in Afghanistan, mentre
l’Afghanistan è spesso ricordato insieme all’aggressione di Washington
contro il Vietnam. Nella seconda metà del XX secolo, Washington si è
profondamente impantanata in Vietnam solo per affrontare una incalzante
sconfitta. Lo stesso destino, sembrerebbe, attende le élite occidentali
in Afghanistan. A quanto risulta, c’è una ragione molto particolare per
cui l’Afganistan è spesso descritto come il “cimitero degli imperi”.

16 ANNI: LA PIU' LUNGA GUERRA NELLA STORIA DEGLI USA
|
|
MIGLIAIA DI MORTI, NESSUNA FINE ALL'ORIZZONTE E LE COSE PEGGIORANO
Il 7 ottobre di 16 anni fa, meno di un mese dopo l'11 settembre, il
presidente George W. Bush, in un messaggio televisivo dalla Casa
Bianca, annunciava l'inizio della guerra in Afghanistan.
"Dietro miei ordini, gli Stati Uniti hanno iniziato a bombardare i
campi di addestramento dei terroristi di al-Qaeda e gli impianti militari del
regime talebano in Afghanistan", disse.

It is impossible to win a war that you cannot
define. That seems to be the main lesson to be drawn
from Afghanistan, where a so-called victory seems
ever more unreachable. It is also the conclusion of
several experts on the region, who fear U.S. forces
would be mired forever in that unjustly punished
country.

LA GUERRA IN AFGHANISTAN E' UN RACKET
|

Gli Stati Uniti faranno di nuovo una escalation [in Inglese] militare in Afghanistan.
Sedici anni fa gli Stati Uniti hanno
invaso il paese e hanno deciso di eliminare i Talebani che erano al
potere per qualcosa che era stato pianificato altrove, da altre persone.
A partire da questa invasione, gli USA hanno tentato di sconfiggere i
Talebani. Hanno perso. E appena lasceranno l’Afghanistan, i Talebani
torneranno al potere. Ma nessuno è intenzionato a staccare la spina a
questo approccio militare senza senso.

Nicky Hager is a ground-breaking investigative journalist and best-selling author. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh once said of him: “Nicky
Hager has more knowledge and understanding of the American intelligence
world in Afghanistan — both its good and its very bad points — than any
reporter I know.”
Hager’s latest book, which he co-authored with Jon Stephenson, is called Hit and Run: The New Zealand SAS in Afghanistan and the meaning of honour.
It documents potential war crimes committed by New Zealand personnel in
Afghanistan in 2010 and includes a variety of sources, including
members of the military who came forward to the authors with the truth
about what happened at the time. Anti-Media caught up with Mr.
Hager to get his take on the recent developments currently under way in
the Middle East and Asia, as well as to learn about his latest book.

THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN HAS TURNED A GENERATION OF CHILDREN INTO HEROIN ADDICTS
|
|
 By Michaela Whitton
activistpost.com
One of the many catastrophic legacies left behind by the longest war in U.S. history is that Afghanistan produces 90% of the world’s opium.
As with most parts of the world, the most vulnerable pay the heaviest
price of war, and the country has faced a harrowing escalation in the
number of child heroin addicts.
“What’s happened in Afghanistan over the last 13 years has been the
flourishing of a narco-state that is really without any parallel in
history,” Kabul-based journalist Matthieu Aikins told Democracy Now back in 2014.

DOES CHINA HOLD KEY TO THE AFGHAN PUZZLE?

Just like
Lazarus, there were reasons to believe the
Afghan peace process might have stood a chance
of being resurrected this past Monday in
Islamabad, as four major players – Afghanistan,
Pakistan, the US and China – sat together at the
same table.
The
final communiqué though was not exactly ground
breaking: “The participants emphasized the
immediate need for direct talks between
representatives of the Government of Afghanistan
and representatives from Taliban groups in a
peace process that aims to preserve
Afghanistan’s unity, sovereignty and territorial
integrity.”

The increase in the level of terrorist activities of ISIL in Afghanistan has recently
been the topic of various reports being published in the international
media. Along with the massacre of the local population which seems to be
a trademark of this Islamist group it has recently entered in a direct
confrontation with the Taliban. It’s now safe to assume that there’s
well over two thousand ISIL militants operating in Afghanistan.
A significant number of reports
suggests that ISIL militants that infiltrated Afghanistan are engaged in
recruiting locals, spreading radical propaganda, and establishing
training camps. Additionally, some articles suggest that former members
of the Taliban are pledging their allegiance to ISIL in the southern
provinces of the country.
Thus, The Independent
quotes the statement of the Afghan army General Qadam Shah Shahima that
said that ISIL managed to overshadow ISIL in the Afghan province of
Helmand.

ISIS IN AFGHANISTAN: PROXY WAR AGAINST IRAN AND CHINA
|

 Eric Draitser

The
nature of the war in Afghanistan has shifted dramatically in recent
months. While the US and NATO continue to be actively involved in the
country – their strategic objectives having changed very little since
the Bush administration launched the war nearly a decade and a half ago –
the complexion of the battlefield, and the parties actively engaged in
the war, has changed significantly.
The emergence of ISIS in Afghanistan,
along with the impending withdrawal of US-NATO troops from the country,
has driven the Taliban into a marriage of convenience, if not an
outright alliance, with Iran. What seemed like an unfathomable scenario
just a few years ago, Shia Iran’s support for the hardline Sunni Taliban
has become a reality due to the changing circumstances of the war.
Though it may be hard to believe, such an alliance is now a critical
element of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan. But its
significance is far larger than just shifting the balance of power
within the country.

L'OPPIO AFGANO E GLI AFFARI DELLA BLACKWATER
|
|
 FONTE: RT.COM
Il grande fallimento: la produzione di oppio afgana è cresciuta di pari passo con i profitti della ex-Blackwater
La
produzione di oppio ha visto una notevole crescita negli ultimi anni in
Afghanistan nonostante gli sforzi della lotta al narcotraffico da parte
degli Stati Uniti. Un infame marchio mercenario, precedentemente noto
come Blackwater, ha trattenuto 569 milioni dal Pentagono in questa
infruttuosa mossa.
Il denaro che la compagnia ha ricevuto
dai contribuenti americani è stato usato per “addestramento, materiale e
supporto logistico” per le forze afgane impegnate nelle operazioni
contro il narcotraffico. Queste agenzie comprendono l’”Afghan National
Interdiction Unit, il Ministero dell’Interno e la Polizia di Frontiera
Afgana” afferma un report dell’Ispettore Generale Speciale per la
Ricostruzione Afgana, cosiddetto SIGAR, citato dal Guardian.

THE TALIBAN IS ON THE MOVE

KABUL STANDS IN THE LINE OF FIRE

According to troubling reports coming from Afghanistan, the Taliban – an Islamic fundamentalist political movement which rose in reaction to the Soviet Union’s military occupation in the 1980s – conducted a series of brazen attacks in and around Kabul, the capital, putting Afghanistan’s central government in great jeopardy.
Experts have already warned that should Kabul fall within the grasp of Taliban insurgents, a decade of peace-building and democratic efforts would have been all for nothing.
Speaking to the Washington Post this Sunday, Sudarsan Raghavan explained, “Taliban insurgents have intensified their attacks on this besieged capital with a flurry of brazen bombings and afternoon raids targeting foreigners and Afghans, bringing the war into this city in a way not seen in any other year since the radical Islamists were ousted from power.”

AFGHAN OPIUM PRODUCTION HITS ALL-TIME HIGH
|
|
 by MIKE WHITNEY
counterpunch.org
2014 was a banner year for Afghanistan’s booming opium industry.
According to a United Nations annual survey released on Wednesday, opium
cultivation set a record in 2014, increasing by an impressive 7 percent
year-over-year and up nearly 50 percent from 2012. Afghanistan
presently produces 80 percent of the world’s heroin which provides
billions of dollars in illicit profits for the powerful drug Mafia.
Heroin trafficking and production have flourished under US military
occupation and transformed Afghanistan into a dysfunctional
narco-colony.
Readers who follow events in Afghanistan will recall that the Taliban
had virtually eradicated poppy production before Bush and Cheney
launched their war in 2001. The Pentagon reversed that achievement by
installing the same bloodthirsty warlords who had been in power before
the Taliban. Naturally, this collection of psychopaths–who the western
media lauded as the “Northern Alliance”–picked up where they left off
and resumed their drug operations boosting their own wealth and power by
many orders of magnitude while meeting the near-insatiable demand for
heroin in capitals across Europe and America.
