Hizb-e-Islami protests in Kabul against obstruction of peace process
2021-03-06
As promised yesterday...
[KhaamaPress] A large number of Hizb-e-Islami protesters poured on Kabul streets over and near the Presidential palace calling slogans against those who hamper the grinding of the peace processor.

Protestors gave a 10-day deadline to the government to address their demands, protesters supervised by 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...
blamed the government for assassinations and called an end to it.

They also called on the government to stop opposing the grinding of the peace processor, ceasefire, transfer of the power to a new government, and pay respect for the DOHA agreement.

Gulbuding who is known for his role in Afghanistan’s civil war and fight against the Soviet invasion joined the grinding of the peace processor in September 2016 following an agreement with the Afghan government.

Before joining the grinding of the peace processor the group was listed as an krazed killer group who were carrying similar attacks like ISIS and Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
on the International forces, the Afghan government, and its public.

Jihadist Hizb-e-Islami group is considered a close ally to Pakistain
...their payroll is a standing item in the ISI budget...
and calls the country their second home, took part in tearing Afghanistan apart besides other Jihadist groups during the civil war and has recently called for "prevention of looting of national treasures", transfer of the government,
...meaning surrender to the Taliban...
the release of all its members from prison and inclusion of the group within the government.

In such a critical situation after visiting Pakistain in October 2020 Hizb-e-Islami’s leader today said if their demands are not met, all their demands will change to one demand and that would be "step down, step down" referring to the current government.

"Afghanistan and its people should learn from previous failed grinding of the peace processor attempts and civil wars and continue efforts for a long and real peace in the country", a Kabul resident told Khaama Press.

It is noteworthy that in 2012 Hizb-e-Islami used "Fatima an 18-year-old girl" from kabul to carry out a suicide kaboom near the Kabul airport in which 12 people were killed.
