There are different views about a recent incident in #Panjshir...an #Attan near #Massoud's grave.
Few facts:
1. Those performed Attan, were not #Taliban. They were youths, mainly from south of #AFG, on a sightseeing tour in Panjshir. For sure, few Taliban also joined the Attan... ImageImageImageImage
2. #Taliban (as a religious and hardliner movement) are against any type of dance including Attan.
3. The Attan location was hundreds meter away from the grave of #Massoud& as said by some commenters, that Attan was not the 1st dance there.

To be clear, Attan in that specific...
...place, with or without purpose, was not a good move and it should be criticized.
But making that Attan an issue for provoking ethnic tensions, is even worse. ImageImageImageImage
#Taliban spokesman:
"The recent incident in #Panjshir is not reflecting the policy of the IEA, nor is it acceptable.
During Eid, some people from different provinces went to Panjshir for fun, where they may have performed #Attan, but we can say for sure...
...that their purpose was not to insult jihadi figures. It was just the recklessness of a few people. Jihadi figures are respected by the IEA&insulting those passed away, is not allowed at all, nor do we allow such an act.
Efforts are being made to further determine the motive...
...for this wrongdoing and to prevent the recurrence of such acts in the future."

میخواهم در مورد یک برداشت نادرست عده ای از هموطنان خود، به شمول آوازخوان نامدار فرهاد دریا، بنویسم.
اردوی ما نه بطور شاید وباید "مجهز" بود ونه هم "سه صد هزار نفری". اردوی ما نه فرمان تسلیمی گرفته بود ونه هم بطور ناگهانی شکست خورد. برای معلومات بیشتر سری به گزارشات سیگار بزنید... Image
آنچه من شاهد آن بودم وجود تشکیلات و افراد خیالی و #فساد گسترده ازسطح عسکر تا وزیر در نظام جمهوری بود. به استثنای افراد محدود پاک نفس، از سطح قوماندان کندک به بالا، همه خانه های مجلل چند صد هزار دالری داشتند، که از معاش دولتی امکان پذیر نبود. سرباز بیچاره هم مرمی و پوچک میفروخت...
...میدانم که عده ای از گفته های من تعبیر نادرست خواهند نمود و یا هم خاطر شان خواهد رنجید اما حقیقت همین است. زمانیکه وزیر از پول پشقل چمن وزارت بدزدد پس از عسکر مظلوم که حق اعاشه و اباطه او هم دزدی شده است، نباید انتظارات عالی داشت. مسئله کلیدی دیگر توقف حمایت لوژستیکی نیروهای...
