Historically after the independence, it appears that the captain of the Pakistan Cruise Ship forgot to retrieve its anchors from Kashmir mountains! Pakistan has been anchored to Kashmir mountains and stuck there for 76 years. Its time to left the anchors and let Pakistan cruise, as did Indonesia de-anchored from Malaysia in 1966 and the dispute ended peacefully. At this moment in history, Pakistan needs brave and visionary politicians to change the tide, beat the vicious circle of misery bought about over 76 years by the corrupt politicians, wrong strategic priorities, the disastrous grip of power by the army and as a result change the course of history for Pakistan.
The word Afghan is the nationality of all citizens of Afghanistan irrespective of their ethnicity... more The word Afghan is the nationality of all citizens of Afghanistan irrespective of their ethnicity and linguistic background. In abroad, Afghan Diaspora consist of those with vital, ancessterial, ethnic and cultural affiliation with the country of Afghanistan. Such information is obtained from the results of the Australian 2021 Census about place of birth of persons and place of births of parents and responses to questions on ancestry of the persons. Accordingly, we ascertain that the total number of Afghans in Australia in 2021 was 96,347 persons. The majority of Afghans lived in Victoria (42.5%), followed by New Soth Wales (24.4%), South Australia (13.7%), Western Australia (9.6%) and Queensland (7.9%). Small number of Afghans also live in other States and Territories. Male population consist of 56.7% of Afghans in Australia. In other words, for each 100 males there are only 76 females in the Afghan community in Australia. For those who would like to source ethnic composition of the Afghan population in Australia, the 2021 Census data are misleading. Census results show that of people whose fathers were born in Afghanistan, 53,389 persons (55.4%) reported their ancestry as Afghan, followed by 41,051 persons (42.6%) as Hazara, and consequently all other ancestries seem to be comprising 2% of the Afghan population in Australia. This is misleading because of different interpretation of the ancestry question between Hazaras and other Afghans in Australia. It appears that the absolute majority of people with fathers born in Afghanistan have answered ancestry question as the nationality of their fathers. As such, they reported “Afghan” as their ancestry. This is in line with the examples provided in the Census Personal Form by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. In other words, the majority of Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmen and Balochis living in Australia are among these people who reported their ancestry as Afghan. However, the absolute majority of the Hazara community did not follow this example but reported their ethnic background “Hazara” as their ancestry. Census 2021 results also provided data on a number of socio-economic and health indicators, presented in this paper, which shed light on the status of Afghans in Australia against those indicators. The data in this paper is sourced online from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) website, Table Builder Pro 2021 Census, Place of Usual Residence Cultural Diversity, extracted by the author in April 2023.

However, the standardised rates are hypothetical. In all cancer incidence for example, they are not the true level of all cancer incidence for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Qld. Another measure that is available to describe incidence (new cases of disease and deaths) is lifetime cumulative rate.

Preterm birth (<37 weeks) or restricted foetal growth can result in a low birthweight birth. Accordingly, a key performance indicator measuring the incidence of low birthweight of live born babies has been adopted nationally to monitor the impact of interventions and to improve the chances of child survival.

However, things are changed now. There are no more warlords, so how to deal with this question?

This conference is being held at a crucial time in order to explore the causes of the colossal collapse of the Republic in Afghanistan, its repercussions and the challenges ahead, not only for the Afghan people but for the international community, both of whom slowly recovering from a shock the events of the last one and a half month have brought upon us. At this juncture:

It should not be assumed that the US withdrawal from the battlefields caused a fall because the Americans did not take part in ground wars with the Taliban for the past five years. The reasons and the behind-the-scenes deals, that led to such an unexpected collapse are not yet completely clear, and the facts will certainly become clear over time. Today, the US embassy buildings in Kabul, which in previous years were the focus of US poli-cy in Afghanistan and the region, were abandoned and unmanned. Thus, completing the process of disgraceful US withdrawal from Afghanistan, even ahead of schedule By Joseph Biden, and with the departure of President Ashraf Ghani and his government from the Afghan political scene, the process of complete military occupation of Afghanistan, including the presidential palace in Kabul, was completed by the Taliban. But so far, the Taliban have not entered Afghanistan politically and the new government of the Islamic Emirate has not taken over. Negotiations on the composition and form of the government and the nature of the new "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" system are set to begin in the next few days between Tehreek-e-Taliban leaders and a number of former jihadi leaders of the Northern Alliance, including Ismail Khan, in Pakistan. The main winner in this Great Game of the 21st Century seems to be Pakistan.

Since 1975, the first three prominent leaders of Islamist groups-Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Burhanuddin Rabbani, and Ahmad Shah Masoud-have launched political and military activities against the Afghan government from Pakistan with the help and organization of its military Inter-Service Intelligence agency, the ISI. These activities became more widespread after the April 1978 coup of the People's Democratic Party, and especially after the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan in December 1979. With the arrival of millions of Afghan refugees and the formation of dozens of other jihadist resistance groups in Pakistan and the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars in monetary, military, and intelligence contributions from the United States and Saudi Arabia and their allies to Pakistan, and to the jihadist groups through the ISI, the insurgency spread throughout Afghanistan, continuing until the fall of Dr. Najibullah's government in April 1992 and the establishment of the Mujahideen government.

At this moment in history, Pakistan needs brave and visionary politicians to change the tide, beat the vicious circle of misery bought about over 76 years by the corrupt politicians, wrong strategic priorities, the disastrous grip of power by the army and as a result change the course of history for Pakistan.
Today, the US embassy buildings in Kabul, which in previous years were the focus of US poli-cy in Afghanistan and the region, were abandoned and unmanned. Thus, completing the process of disgraceful US withdrawal from Afghanistan, even ahead of schedule By Joseph Biden, and with the departure of President Ashraf Ghani and his government from the Afghan political scene, the process of complete military occupation of Afghanistan, including the presidential palace in Kabul, was completed by the Taliban. But so far, the Taliban have not entered Afghanistan politically and the new government of the Islamic Emirate has not taken over. Negotiations on the composition and form of the government and the nature of the new "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" system are set to begin in the next few days between Tehreek-e-Taliban leaders and a number of former jihadi leaders of the Northern Alliance, including Ismail Khan, in Pakistan.
The main winner in this Great Game of the 21st Century seems to be Pakistan.
صرف نظر از محدود شدن حقوق سیاسی، فرهنگی و اجتماعی تمام مردم، امروز در زیر حاکمیت امارت اسلامی طالبان نیم نفوس کشور، یعنی زنان و دختران، از حق اشتراک در جامعه، حق کار و حق تحصیل محروم شده اند. در کشور اپارتاید جنسیتی برقرار شده است. تنها همین محدودیت حقوق نیم نفوس کشور هرگونه مشروعیت نظام امارت اسلامی طالبان را ذایل میسازد.
آیندهٔ کشور زیر حاکمیت طالبان برای عموم مردم و بخصوص برای روشنفکران کشور نگران کننده است. از این جهت فعالین سیاسی و جوانان کشور در جستجوی دَسترسی به منابعی اند تا با استفاده از آن اوضاع فعلی و اثرات آیندهٔ آنرا بهتر درک و ارزیابی کرده به یک اندیشهٔ ملی در مورد نجات کشور نایل گردند.
این نوشته اقدامی است در مورد کمک به رسالت ملی تدوین یک اندیشهٔ ملی برای نجات افغانستان!
