Comments by "Omer عمر" (@Omer1996E.C) on "Why Afghanistan is still a conflict zone - HIR" video.

Idk why, but western medias and Afghan medias are so different, Afghans have favorable views on taliban, siting increased security, stability, fall in corruption, ban of poppy plantation effectively, among others This is effectively a western point of view. And Afghanistan has no enough tech and relations to track social medias and internet

@iandavidvillaloboswong5180 and improved security and reduced corruption, and when their agricultural river project gets done, things will improve very much

Afghanistan is not worse than when you were there, maybe only Kabul is worse, but rural areas (which is where most people live) are prospering more. And poppy plantation is banned now Corruption plummeted (after executions for corrupt officials, even officials from the taliban) And according to many Afghans, security and stability increased with taliban rule

Calling yourself commander of the faithful is even stronger than caliph, you need huge legitimacy, even the ottomans where questioned for it, it meant you have to protect Muslims from around the world, this is a too big of a title

Corruption and corruption I know an Indian hindutva will come and say "Islam", although most regulations and strategies of Pakistan are unislamic

That's how you justify the support of common Afghans to the taliban over the US backed government? So logically, that government was the "unlivable" for Afghans and the taliban is the "peace" you mentioned

Shirvan, thank you for your effort. But with all respect, like most people, or most western medias, you're just using political stereotypes and western points of view, almost none of what you said is heard from most Afghans I hope you improve your sources of informations in the future

@doctornochu3092 lol, they promised to prevent, not to obliterate I believe you mean the 2021 agreement There is a clear difference if you know simple English. When you prevent a disease (say diabetes) it doesn't mean that it'll never affect you as long as you are dedicated to it. Know basic English before trying to translate or interpret agreements and contracts. That's why it's recommended only for lawyers to read contracts, understood?!

Well, they were lying to you, when they failed, they started to engineer another lie

@doctornochu3092 see, now you just slipped too far. This is a completely different argument, I won't explain every single thing the taliban does, I also have some disagreements with their thoughts, but I believe that they'd be better than the US presence if they had the resources. What taliban lack is only a just support, they're unjustly sanctioned by the world
4
@doctornochu3092 that's because you don't want to get the point, I know that it's hard for taliban ro find every isis member, especially it's leaders, even the US couldn't find them The taliban is not obligated to eliminate terrorism, but to prevent it. And they're actually doing it more effectively

@hungrymusicwolf I answered him, but you couldn't see it. I said that I have some disagreements with them, and you can read it again. Among these disagreements I have is the issue of women, especially on the educational and economic issues

@cqpp idk about his religion, but using religion to gain political control, and then dumping religious virtues of strength, wisdom and peacefulness once you get political power is too evil One of the only 4 people who will be under Allah's shade at the end of times, the day of judgment, is a just ruler. No wonder just rulers, despite their wealths, they're admired by Allah, power spoils people and if you're at least not corrupt, then you are among the best of creatures

@Nabee_H for you, yes. You get surprised when taliban rules in good way because you have a perspective of the angry corrupt extremist bearded Asian Muslim adult man being bad. So, anything good they do, you feel it's only exceptionally good, and mostly for personal gains

@mikenogozones I see all the issues western medias see in Afghan and western eyes. Shirvan is trying to be honest, but he can't. You'll vilify whoever you don't like, whatever you do, this is natural You (western medias) are generally demonzing Palestine and it's struggle for freedom, and this is not too different with your views on Afghanistan

@randomperson9282 I will have to re-watch the video for all, but I'll just mention few biases he showed, he might not said that directly, but it seemed like he said that (indirectly) First, that security and corruption concerns increased after the US withdrawal, which is proven to be wrong and actually opposite to most Afghans in Afghanistan Second, that the taliban only thinks about it's interests above the public interests, this is a wrong idea anyone would get after watching this video. As it's known, former Afghan officials were too far from the public, while current Afghan officials are mostly rural, with deep connections to their societies, and they are more popular and respected by the public. They highly regard the public Third, Taliban and ISIS are not similar, taliban doesn't attack civilians just because of their difference, while ISIS always did, they were never in a formal alliance in anyway, so what they do is not a coup, rather it's an act of stabilization, if isis sat peacefully, they won't be attacked and they can live as an organization in Afghanistan under the taliban

@free_at_last8141 part of it was really because of the weak government backed by the US fighting the taliban backed by rural (local) peoples. For peace, s strong government is needed, a weak government shall not be tolerated But the other part of the argument is that other factions like isis got strongly attacked by the taliban, which the previous government couldn't succeeded in doing so. That's a credible success for them
