History and Origins of the recent wave of terrorism

By Ahmad Khan Mamnoon

Introduction

I vividly remember that thirty years ago, I did not hear the word terrorism or terrorists. There was a single term in use which is the Israeli aggression on the Arabs and the Palestinians. But after Russia (former USSR) invaded Afghanistan, the scenario has changed. Russian brutality were not hidden from the world. They not only destroy this independent country, but they destroy the future generations. In many villages, their inhabitants killed after they crushed the entire village with bulldozers. Even they could not forgive innocent children. Russians dropped bombs for toys in the cities and villages from helicopters and when a child found and began playing with it exploded. After so many Afghan children have died or become disabled.

Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, the Soviet

One million Afghans were killed. 1 5 million Afghans fled to Pakistan and Iran more, one third of the prewar population of the country. Another 2 million Afghans were displaced within the country. In the 1980s, one out of two refugees in the world was an Afghan. And two deaths were 1.2 million disabled Afghans with the blessing of Russian landmines (mujahideen, government soldiers and noncombatants ) and 3 million maimed or wounded (primarily noncombatants) 3.

Irrigation systems, essential for agriculture in arid climate of Afghanistan have been destroyed by aerial bombing and strafing by the Soviets or the government forces. In the worst year of the War of 1985, more than half of all farmers who remained in Afghanistan bombed their areas, and over a quarter had their irrigation systems destroyed and their cattle shot by Soviet troops or Government, according to a survey conducted by experts from four Swedish aid

The population of the second city of Afghanistan, Kandahar, has been reduced from 200,000 before the war to more than 25,000 people, after long months of bombing campaign and bulldozed by the Soviets and the Afghan Communist soldiers in 1987 5. landmines have killed 25,000 Afghans during the war and another 10 to 15 million landmines planted mostly by Soviet and government forces, were scattered in the countryside to kill and maim. 6 A lot of damage have been caused to the civilian population by the children of landmines. A 2005 report estimated 3-4% of the Afghan population has been disabled due to Soviet government and mining. In the city of Quetta, a survey of refugee women and children taken shortly after the Soviet withdrawal is over 80% of refugees unregistered children and infant mortality to 31%. Among children who survived, 67% were severely malnourished, malnutrition increases with age 7.

Critics of Soviet and Afghan government forces describe their effect on Afghan culture that work in three steps: first, the center of the Afghan culture customary Islam, has been set aside, on the other hand, Soviet lifestyles, especially among the youth, have been imported, third, sharing of Afghan cultural characteristics have been destroyed by the emphasis on nationality, saying, with the result that the country has been divided into different groups Ethnic, without language, religion or culture in common 8.

The Geneva Accords of 1988, which eventually led to the withdrawal of Soviet forces in early 1989, has left the Afghan government in ruins. The agreements have failed to address adequately the issue of post-occupation and the future governance of Afghanistan. The assumption among most Western diplomats, is that the pro-Soviet government in Kabul would soon collapse, but it did not occur for another three years. Meanwhile, the interim government Islamic AFGH.
