United Nation Party condemns current war in Afghanistan
Afghanistan United Nation Party condemned the current war in Afghanistan, announcing support to stand beside security forces in any critical conditions.
Hundreds of funs of Afghanistan United Nation party gathered together on Friday to announce support for Afghan security forces.
Head of the part, Abdul Rahman Ayoubi stressed on unity of Afghan people and also supported the Fatwa of religious scholar in Saudi Arabia to fight against extremist groups in Afghanistan.
Ayoubi is said to consider the current war in Afghanistan is away from the law and rules of Islam and announced support for Afghan forces.
“The enemies of Afghanistan should know we all stand beside our security forces and support them,” Ayoubi said.
He noted that Afghans are the victims of political projects from outside the country and NATO and America should help in bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan.
“We accepted the democracy which America wanted. But now when we want peace, why America acts contrary to the constitutions? And strengthen the opposition groups,” Ayoubi added.
The war in Afghanistan has now dragged on for over thirteen years, making it the longest war.
While the United States has been reducing its presence in the country, President Obama recently ordered a revision to his plan of withdrawal from Afghanistan by increasing the role that American troops will play in Afghanistan starting in 2015 to include combat operations.
This decision comes at a time when many politicians and experts have been questioning the president’s plan to end the war by 2016, with some even advocating that troops continue fighting past that date.
The war in Afghanistan is the period in which the United States invaded the country after the September 11 attacks, supported initially by close allies, and eventually by the wider North Atlantic Treaty Organization, beginning in 2003.
The conflict is also known as the U.S. war in Afghanistan. It followed the Afghan Civil War’s 1996–2001 phases.
Its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda, and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power.
But recently the war enters to a critical stage and raised concerns of Afghans all across the country.

However, economic experts stated if the work of these projects does not start soon, they will be destroyed and the investments made in them will be wasted.
