Afghanistan: Centre of Battle Against Islamic Fascism

Mr. Ahmad Karim Nawabi, ambassador from Islamic Republic of Afghanistan agreed to an interview with Christian Development Alternative, a non-profit political organization working vigilantly propagating rights and cause of the minorities in Bangladesh while playing an active role outlining the danger of Islamic terrorism. The interview was moderated by William Gomes, Executive Director of CDA.

William Gomes: Mr. Nawabi. Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed by CDA. On March 31 at the Hague, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered an olive branch to Taliban fighters who reject al-Qaida. Now, is it an acknowledgement that Afghanistan has indeed failed in its fight against terror?

Nawabi: Terrorism is not only a national but International problem. To find out the solution there is two ways one by military action and the other is diplomatic solution. In the conference in Huge Afghan President take the right initiative that the rest of the world can be safe. That is the right steps to continue fight Terrorism. Besides fighting Taliban government will make a platform with the Ex-Taliban who will show their full submission to the government and to the constitution of the country.

William Gomes: It’s been seven years after the Taliban government in Afghanistan was booted out. However, news reports say that Taliban is very active and growing in its influence in your country. Why do you think your government has failed in its fight against terror?

Nawabi: With the support of the International community Afghanistan government is trying to find out the solution of the Terrorism. It is not only the problem in Afghanistan but all over the world. The International community had already find out that the resource of terrorism not flourished in Afghanistan but in Pakistan. The recent Terrorist attacks in Pakistan are the living example.

William Gomes: In the recent G20 meeting, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stated that Pakistan is indeed the epicenter of terrorism. Your comments.

Nawabi: Our Relation is very friendly with India. The resource of terrorism has flourished in Pakistan not in Afghanistan. To make an end to the Terrorism we need to focus on the resource and that is Pakistan.

William Gomes: Isn’t it a dangerous trend that your president Karzai is openly advocating the cause of Taliban fighters who have not allied with the al-Qaida? After all, Taliban is an Islamic terrorist outfit that has caused a lot of damage to Afghanistan’s progress and development.

Nawabi: The way to fight Terrorism we need to discuss and work together.

William Gomes: What kind of role do you see for India ushering economic prosperity into your country?

Nawabi: Indian is very friendly country and for our economic prosperity they are very important partner.
