Power-mongers on the verge of losing influence, claims Hekmatyar
2017-09-14
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The leader of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the World but who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil...
once again harshly criticized certain political influential figures, those figures he believes have gained the power with the support of the outsiders.

Speaking to tribal elders from Chahar Asiab district of Kabul, Hekmatyar said "Certain people who supported Soviets and now supporting NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
are calling themselves Mujahideen and misuse the word of Jihad to compromise with the rights of the oppressed people."

He did not specify any of the individuals in power but the latest remarks by Hekmatyar came as tensions are on the rise among his party and other influential political parties and figures, specifically the Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
led by Ata Mohamad Noor.

In the meantime, Hekmatyar said an end to occupation, ethnic divisions, and grabbing will help to end the ongoing violence and conflict in the country.

The leader of Hezb-e-Islami further added that those who have gained power with the outside support, their influence is on the verge of being wiped out, claiming that the nation has identified them and will no more support them.
