AFGHANIS HAVE NO LOVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY: SO TALIBANS CAN HAVE IT.

ICHEOKU says a close observation of the category of Afghanis fleeing in the face of Taliban's continuous advance reveals one disturbing fact. Pictures and videos seen so far reveal that majority of those fleeing are able bodied young men and women, a group which usually constitute the fighting age of any society or country. If this group of people are fleeing, who else is supposed to confront the Talibans. Who else is supposed to protect and defend Afghanistan from being once again captured by the fundamentalist jihadists, who want to reimpose on Afghanistan their medieval way of life and raw understanding of Islam. 

Who do they want or expect to stand up against the Talibans and/or even die defending their country for them if they chose to run away rather than stay and fight? Is it their aged parents or the unappreciated foreigners who have already sacrificed a lot in blood and treasure for more than two decades defending them? Is twenty years not enough time already for them to have firmed their backbones, man up and stand up to the Talibans? Why are they not volunteering to be recruited into the Afghanistan army and join in the effort to keep the Talibans at bay, defeat or even crush them for good; and in that way secure their country forever. 

Do they not know that they owe a sacrifice to their own children and children's children, a future Afghanistan that knows peace and which lives in harmony and prosperity. If foreigners can bleed and die for their Afghanistan, why not themselves, since Afghanistan is for Afghanis and no one else. Majority of the foreigners who were defending Afghanistan belong to the same age bracket as those Afghanis fleeing in droves through boats and all manners of other transportations such as donkeys and camels as well as by foot into Eastern Turkey. They are fleeing instead of fighting for their country and you ask yourself what is wrong with this young Afghanis. 

Why have they become so cowardly and very indifferent to having a secured country where they can live in peace and thrive; and have instead chosen to abandon it to the Talibans. What will they tell their children is the reason Afghanistan fell to the Talibans and they no longer have a country where they can freely exist without being subjected to archaic practices of ancient Islam. It is disheartening to see this particular group of Afghanis abandon their country just because their freeloading on America and the negligible allies of the "willing" finally dried up. 

ICHEOKU says Joe Biden remaining resolute on ending American troops presence in Afghanistan is one decision that might attract him additional votes if he runs in 2024. It is a right decision, having correctly read Afghanis' plan of enjoying a never ending American troops presence on their soil protecting them. They did not want to ever grow up or mature into a formidable country, capable, willing and able to take charge of their affairs. They do not want to do the heavy lifting necessarily required in having a country which they can truly, indeed call their own and proudly so. 

Even their foul mouthed former President Hamid Karzai is no where to be found leading his Afghani people in battling the Talibans. After all he said against America, accusing American troops of al manners of war atrocities against his people, it is surprising that he has not yet adorned military fatigues and with AK47, charging against the Talibans. But it is obvious that he cavorts with the Talibans and it also appears that majority of Afghanis love their Talibans, otherwise why are they not fighting them with fervor instead of fleeing. Therefore, in the unfortunate event Afghanis allow the Talibans to overrun their country, so be it. 

ICHEOKU will not break a tear for such an outcome because it appears that Afghanis are not serious about having a peaceful and secured free country that will not be under a Taliban imposed acute Islamic bondage. Nobody can love Afghanistan more than Afghanis themselves, so as they lead so should everyone else follow in the matter of Afghanistan security. It is the responsibility and duty of Afghanis to safeguard, defend, protect and secure their country. They can source weapons but the manpower is strictly theirs; or the mercenaries which they can hire. No more American blood and treasure for Afghanistan and on this, Joe Biden's lead is germane.
