Der Krieg in Yemen

2009-12-29T08:04:00.000-08:00

Der Krieg in Yemen ist ein sehr alter Konflikt, bei dem es nicht um Al Kaida geht. In Yemen kaempfen die shiitische(!) Rebellen gegen die yemenitische Regierung. Die Rebellen repraesentieren die shiitische MInderheit, die im Sueden des Landes leben. Die yemenitische Diktator Regierung, aber auch die Rebellen sind zu verurteilen. Die Rebellen sind nicht ganz unschuldig. Auch wenn die Rebellen ein Problem sind, ist der Krieg in Suedyemen, ueberhaupt nicht gerechtfertig. In diesem Konflikt, sind viele unschuldige Menschen gestorben und der Tod von Unschuldigen, ist durch nichts gerechtfertigt.

Die gefallenen "Terroristen" kann man hier sehen.

Wenn es Al Qaida in Yemen geben sollte (bezweifle dass es al Kaida ueberhaupt gibt), haben die in diesem Konflikt ueberhaupt nichts zu sagen. Die Hintergruende sind meiner Meinung nach andere. Die Huthis Rebellen werden nicht nur von der yemenitischen Regierung bekaempft, sondern auch von Saudi Arabien. Beide Laender haben grosse Schwierigkeiten, gegen die Rebellen zu kaempfen. Die yemenitische Regierung hat selbst im Inneren des Landes gewaltige (nicht nur politische) Probleme und Saudi Arabien musste gewaltige Verluste hinnehmen.

"Seventy-three Saudis have been killed and 26 are missing since fighting broke out in November between Saudi forces and Yemeni rebels, Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan told reporters on Tuesday. "The confrontation on the southern border has resulted in 73 martyrs and 26 missing," said Sultan in comments broadcast on television from a media conference in Al-Khoba in southern Jizan province."

Ich bin mir sicher, dass Saudi Arabien und Yemen die USA um Hilfe gebeten haben, gegen die Rebellen zu kaempfen. Die USA machen ihre Oel-Freunde gluecklich und dabei koennen die USA auch ihr Imperium ausweiten.

more dead soldjers than last year

2009-12-28T17:19:00.000-08:00

The number of US soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year has increased twofold compared with 2008.

Based on an AFP tally, foreign forces recorded 506 casualties in Afghanistan this year, 310 of which were US troops.

The second figure showed that twice as many US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in 2009 compared to 2008, when 155 US soldiers were killed.

How will it be for 2010?

Hearing to recieve testimony on Afghanistan

2009-12-26T11:56:00.000-08:00

I found some interesting quotes of some American politicians (senators, millitary & government) on Afghanistan. The quotes are taken from a transcript you can find here.

1.

Senator UDALL:— So, in an ideal world, we would get the job

done militarily in the short term; in the medium and long term, we

would have a presence in the region, economically, diplomacy, and

politically.

Secretary CLINTON: Well, as we have with so many other countries—

obviously, we have troops in a limited number of countries

around the world; some have been there for 50, 60 years, but we

have long-term economic assistance and development programs in

many others. And we think that’s a likely outcome in both Afghanistan

and Pakistan, that we would be there with a long-term commitment.

_____________________________________

Comment:
I believe that this slipped from her tounge. I mean it is easy to misunterstand her, the way she said it and many blogs interpreted that the US troops might stay for 50, 60 years. These blog writers simply ripped the connection of her statment from the question of the senator. I think this was taken out of context. The truth is that Clinton said, the more likely outcome would be a long-term economic assistance and development programms rather than having troops in Afghanistan for 50, 60 years. I mean, she is not that stupid to say this.

_____________________________________

2.

Senator HAGAN: (...)But, I do know that some of the countries have mentioned, in the

past, about starting their own withdrawals. In particular, I believe

Germany has suggested a transition by 2013, and they have 4,000

troops; Canada suggesting some pullout in 2011 in Kandahar—they

have 2500 troops; the Italian leaders, 2800 troops, leaving Herat by

December 2011; Dutch leaders suggesting they might want to pull

out by 2010. And I was just wondering if that is still a concern.

I’ll—Secretary Gates, if you have some information on that.

Secretary GATES: Well, it is a concern. The only two firm decisions

that have been made that I’m aware of are that the Dutch

will leave, next year, with their forces, and the Canadians, by the

end of 2011. These are parliamentary decisions that have been

made.

_____________________________________

Comment:
The important thins in this text is that senator Hagan believes that Gemany has suggested a transition by 2013. No German politician mentions something about this. Secretary Gates said the the only two firm decisions were made by the Dutch and the Canadians, but the question is, why does/did he believe the Germans will pull out there troops in 2013? I mean this man is an insider. I thing this is also something which slipped out of a tounge. Were did he get this information? Does he know something we don't know? He mentioned an exact year and I don't think that he just said something from his stomach.
_____________________________________

3.

Senator LEMIEUX:— Just to touch quickly on the international

partner issue, you mentioned bringing 5- to 7,000 more troops from

international partners. In the past, you have been, as you stated,

somewhat critical of those troops, and you wanted to make sure

that those troops were caveat-free. Do you believe that these troops

that are coming, hopefully the 5- to 7,000 troops will be, as you

said before, caveat-free and be able to fully engage?

Secretary GATES: One of the positive developments, I would say,

of the last year, but especially since the NATO summit last spring,

has been a fairly steady reduction in the number of caveats that

are being imposed by governments. I think they are realizing—you

heard the German Defense Minister, a couple of weeks ago, for the

first time in Germany, refer to what is going on in Afghanistan as

a ‘‘war,’’ or ‘‘warlike.’’ So, they are, I think, domestically, beginning

to deal with the realities of Afghanistan, and I think that has contributed

to a reduction in the caveats.
_____________________________________

Comment:
This part was just a little funny because there was a big debate about this in Germany.
_____________________________________

4.

Senator KIRK: (...)When—if I understand it, when General McChrystal advocated a

strategy along these lines, it wasn’t just the troops, he said, and

I’m quoting here, ‘‘A foreign army alone cannot beat an insurgency.

The insurgency in Afghanistan requires an Afghan solution. This

is their war.’’ And he went on to say, any success must come,

quote, ‘‘by, with, and through the Afghan government.’’ In other

words, without a legitimate, credible, reliable Afghan governmental

partner, it sounds to me like the strategy would be flawed.

By all reports that we have, President Karzai had been installed,

basically, as a result of a flawed election, if not a fraudulent election,

by default, and that he presides over a culture of corruption

and dependent on, unfortunately, an opium economy.
_____________________________________

Comment:
Exactly how it is.
_____________________________________

5.

Senator COLLINS: Thank you.

Secretary Clinton, Secretary Gates has given an excellent answer

to the question of, ‘‘Why Afghanistan?’’ My question for you is, Can

we succeed, despite the brilliance of our leaders, the courage of our

troops, the efforts of the civilian component? Is this an impossible

task? We have a corrupt and ineffective government as a partner.

We’ve seen, in the last 2 years, even with the presence of NATO

troops, the government lose control of much of the country. Can

this work, despite everybody’s best efforts?
_____________________________________

6.

Senator THUNE:— Let me ask—the President, last night, said

that we will support efforts by the Afghan government to open the

door to those Taliban who abandon violence. General Petraeus has

previously indicated that we lacked the nuanced and sophisticated

understanding of the Taliban to identify and distinguish between

reconcilable and irreconcilable elements of the Taliban. And I guess

my question is, How do we go about reliably identifying the reconcilable

elements of the Taliban?

Secretary CLINTON: Well, Senator, there are several efforts already

underway to answer the questions that General Petraeus

and others have posed. As you might know, General McChrystal

has asked General Lamb, a retired British general who was instrumental

in the work that was done in Iraq, to come to Afghanistan

to advise him. The Afghans themselves, led by President Karzai,

have a pretty good idea of who they think can, if persuaded, be reintegrated.

But, this is very much a case-by-case effort. And there are certain

aspects of it that we are very insistent on. One, that they have

to renounce any ties to al Qaeda, and they have to renounce violence,

and they have to be willing to reintegrate into Afghan society

in a peaceful way.

We know that some of the Taliban will not renounce al Qaeda;

they are too closely interconnected. We know that others, who call

themselves ‘‘Taliban’’ want to have a continuing means of, you

know, acting in a military capacity, and we want them, you know,

to have to give up their commitment to violence and, maybe, join

the army, if that’s appropriate, join one of the community defense

initiatives. But, this is very painstaking work. And we have very

high expectations for who we would support reintegrating.

Secretary GATES: Let me just add to that. I think that, here

again, there may be some parallels with Iraq.

First of all, I think that reintegration, particularly at the front

end, is going to be retail, not wholesale. And it is going to—we will

end up, as we did in Iraq, turning to local leaders that we have

confidence in who will, in turn, then vouch for these people and

who will essentially pledge their community to the reliability of

these people that are willing to come away from the Taliban.

A second point, we think that there’s a fair percentage of the foot

soldiers in the Taliban that basically do this for pay. And so, creating

economic opportunities as an alternative in order to support

their families is another vehicle for this.

And finally, to the Admiral’s point, security is essential. Somebody

who—I mean, they—there are too many examples of people

who have tried to leave the Taliban and themselves and all of their

family have been killed. And so, until—in retaliation—and so, until

we can provide a secure environment, at the local level, that gives

them some confidence they can—they will not be retaliated against,

it will be a problem.

_____________________________________

Comment:
This part of the hearing basically gives us this to know:

- Not all Taliban fighters are the same
- A fair percentage of Taliban fighters do it for money

Clinton als mentioned that Karzai is the leader of Afghans, which is quite ignorant to say after all admittings that Karzai is corrupt.
I checked the trancscript and they didn't talk much or detailed enough about the Afghan government. Some ministers of the Afghan government are warlords, corrupts and criminals. How can Karzai tackle corruption (paradox: he is not a democratic elected president, he is a puppy of the USA) when his brother is a drugdealer king?

Massenmord für Weinachten - Antwort

2009-12-22T06:51:00.000-08:00

Dies ist eine Antwort auf:
http://alles-nur-programm.blogspot.com/2009/12/wird-das-fest-der-liebe-wieder-ein.html

Ich will deine Gefuehle nicht verletzen, die du zu den Lebewesen entwickelt hast, aber ich muss sagen, dass ich nur etwas deiner Meinung bin.

Ich denke, dass es zum Menschen einfach gehoert, Fleisch zu essen, da dies ein natuerlicher Prozess ist. Fuer andere ist es sogar eine religioese Pflicht und muessen es also tun. Wir Menschen sind Teil eines "foodwebs". Ich stimme dir zu, dass was heutzutage passiert (Massentierhaltung-unwuerdevolles Leben) schlimm ist und gar nicht im Einklang der Natur sein kann. Ich bin also dagegen.

Aber (zB) gehoere ich einer Religion an, die einmal im Jahr ein Tier opfern muss, um das Fleisch an den armen Menschen zu verteilen. Nach den religioesen Lehren, sollte man aber auch nicht zu viel Fleisch essen. Unser Vorbild, hat manchmal (ungefaehr) einen Monat lang, kein Fleisch gegessen, um uns zu zeigen, dass zu viel Fleisch ethisch, aber auch gesundheitlich schlecht ist. Was ich bei den Christen nicht verstehe (glaube die meisten wissen es selber nicht), warum sie Weinachten feiern. Fest steht, dass Jesus nicht am 24. Dezember geboren ist. Allein deshalb, finde ich dieses Fest sehr unlogisch. Bei den Russen habe ich also fast nichts auszusetzen (haben ja ein exakteres Kalender). Ich denke dieses Fest wird durch die Medien und andere Konzerne hinterhaeltig aufgebauscht, damit die Menschen viele Waaren kaufen. Als naechstes, was hat eine Gans etc, mit dem Christentum zu tun? Was hat dies mit Weinachten zu tun? Ich weiss dir geht es um andere Aspekte, aber ich will das trotzdem loswerden. Auch wenn viele Weinachten nur als Tradition feiern, ist diese Unlogik nervig. Bei uns im Supermarkt laeuft 24 Stunden „Weinachtsmusik“. Was macht diese Musik oder die typischen „Weinachtsmelodien“ bitteschoen weinachtlich?

Fleisch ist wichtig fuer uns Menschen, auch wenn wir ohne Fleisch ueberleben koennten. Bestimmte Vitamine, die wir aus Fleisch gewinnen, kann unser Koerper besser und leichter verarbeiten als die, die wir aus den Pflanzen gewinnen. Aus Fisch erhalten wir sogar essentielle „Omega3“ Saeuren. Diese Fettsaeuren sind nicht ohne Grund, lebenswichtig (man sollte mind. einmal die Woche Fisch essen).

Ps. Gaense sind nicht dumm. Dumm sind vielleicht Menschen, aber Gaense folgen nur ihren Instinkten.

Kabul says 112 Fighters and 30 Civilians

2009-12-20T22:18:00.000-08:00

According to this article, 142 people died in the Air Strike ordered by a German Commander.

The remarks come as the country's unpopular presence in Afghanistan remains in the limelight since a raid called by a German commander killed 142 people in Kunduz just weeks ahead of Federal elections.

This number is reasonable. But it says further that Kabul says, only 30 cilvilian died in the German ordered air strike:

The defense minister has firmly refused to resign over the controversial airstrike near the northern city of Konduz, which Kabul says killed 30 civilians, despite forcing two top officials to step down for withholding 'details'.

So according to the puppet Afghan government 112 Taliban fighters were needed to kidnapp two oil tankers.

Kabul says, in order to please their foreign masters.

According to more reliable information, only 5 out of 147 deads were from the Taliban.

See this article:

Germany supports talks with moderate Taliban

2009-12-20T22:03:00.000-08:00

Germany's defense minister says he supports talks with 'moderate' Taliban in war-torn Afghanistan, days after a committee was formed to probe a deadly German-ordered airstrike which resulted in heavy civilian casualties.

In an interview with the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg said on Sunday that he favored keeping open channels of communications with moderate Afghan tribes and communities but cautioned against potential risks.

"Not every insurgent is a direct threat to Western society…There is a difference between groups who have the goal of fighting our culture out of a radical rejection of the West and those for example who see culture as connected to the place where you live," he was quoted as saying.

Now these people come as if they just recently found out that not every Afghan resistance fighter is same. Disgusting actors and liers.

This is what I am telling since years. The media strongly tries to discredit all the resistance fighters as backwards thinking fundamental religious extremists. It is like brainwashing millions of people and it works as well. The Truth is that no Afghan likes it if Afghanistan is ruled by another country via a corrupt puppet government aka Hamid Karzai. It is in the blood of every Afghan. There are many Afghans who don't care to be Afghans because of many different reasons. But if the country is ruled by foreigns for their interests, then they do care.

In my opinion these are the main reasons why Afghans fight the foreign troops and the puppet Afghan Governmant:

- Poverty
- Revenge

Karzai is accountable for any corruption

2009-12-20T21:52:00.000-08:00

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is defending his new Cabinet picks, saying he and the ministers will be held accountable for any corruption.

Some Afghan lawmakers are criticizing the president's decision to keep a former warlord (Ismail Khan of the Energy Ministry) accused of human rights abuses, and to nominate others linked to regional power-brokers and corrupt officials.

Critics also are complaining that the new Cabinet includes only one woman and no opposition members.

I will keep this phrase now forever:

"Afghan President Hamid Karzai is defending his new Cabinet picks, saying he and the ministers will be held accountable for any corruption."

accused of commiting war crimes

2009-12-20T21:47:00.000-08:00

But Afghan officials say President Karzai also plans to keep energy minister Ismail Khan, who has been accused by Human Rights Watch of committing war crimes.

In a separate development, Afghan officials say three civilians were killed during a NATO air strike against suspected militants in the country's south.

How can corruption eliminate corruption?

2009-12-20T21:28:00.000-08:00

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has welcomed Afghan President Hamid Karzai's nomination of the new cabinet.

"I share President Karzai's view that the Afghan people deserve an effective government characterized by integrity and professionalism and welcome his stated commitment to fighting corruption," Rasmussen said on Sunday.

The NATO secretary general added that his organization would continue to assist Afghanistan and its new government. He also hailed the Afghan president's commitment to fighting corruption

I couldn't believe what Rasmussen said when I read this article. You can call me a conspiracy theorist, but this! is clearly a concpiracy. Every politician and Afghan knows that Karzai is corrupt himself as he uses his position so that his family can benefit from it. Karzai's brother gets the protection from him and continues peacefully his drugs business. Why is Rasmussen not mentioning this? Karzai himself needs to be exchanged in order to stop corruption. Karzai is corruption. What will corruption do in order to eliminate corruption? It will only act. But the truth is that this government is a puppet government. So battleing corruption within a corrupt system is a paradox itself. How can't this be a conspiracy by all the politicians? The true politicians have nothing to say. If they try, then they get punched out. Despite this, some of his Ministers are still accused of corruoption and one even of Human rights abuses.

This will be his new cabinet. The Minister of Forreign Affairs is not in the list. It is expected that the corrupt Rangeen Dafdar Spanta will keep his position as the Forreign Affairs Minister. The Minster or War Lord Ismail Khan (Minister of Energy and Water ) is even accused of human rights abuses.

Does Russia wants to experience another defeat?

2009-12-19T12:04:00.000-08:00

I don't think so... but:

"The General Secretary of NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussen has urged Moscow to extend its presence and cooperation in Afghanistan. While meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, he said NATO expects Russia to expand its assistance in Afghanistan. While talking to media in Moscow, Rasmussen said he has proposed Russia provide a helicopter package and that he hopes Moscow would consider it positively. He also mentioned about his discussion with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about expanding its training of Afghan army and police."

Only 5 were Taliban - Nur 5 waren Taliban

2009-12-19T11:40:00.000-08:00

KABUL - Only five out the 137 people killed in a September air strike by NATO forces in northern Kunduz province were Taliban while the rest were civilians, a joint investigation by a German committee and Kunduz provincial council members revealed on Wednesday. The air strike that killed 137 people and wounded another 20 was carried out by American soldiers after German troops based in the province ordered the raid. The air raid came hours after Taliban fighters hijacked two fuel tanks in Chardara district on September 4.

Karim Popal said the investigation carried out by his team through visiting house to house and meeting relatives of the victims with the help of provincial council members indicated that only five Taliban militants were among the dead while the rest were civilians. Popal said according their probe the air strike killed 137 people. Twenty-two people went missing, 20 wounded, 91 women widowed and 163 children orphaned as a result of the bombing, he said. Popal said he had prepared a report he would send to the German defense ministry about the Kunduz incident. He said he had set a weeklong deadline for the ministry and if he received no answer, he would complain to the United Nations.

Karim Popal is a german lawyer with Afghan Origin.

Deutsch:

Nur fuenf von den 137 ermordeten Menschen waren Talebankaempfer. Das heisst im Klartext, dass Deutschland ein Massaker in der Kunduzregion (Afghanistan) veruebt hat. Die Verantwortlichen muessen dafuer bezaehlen.

Cover up of election fraud and an angry Karzai

2009-12-19T08:23:00.000-08:00

"The UN, Galbraith said, had failed "to take steps that might have prevented the fraud in the Afghan elections" and then afterwards decided to try to cover it up.He said his dismissal had become a source of "acute embarrassment to the United Nations when it turned that what I was saying was 100 per cent correct."Galbraith left Afghanistan in early September after the first round of the country's presidential elections and was fired from his post weeks later.He has accused Kai Eide, the Norwegian diplomat heading the UN mission in Afghanistan, of trying to conceal the degree of fraud in favour of Karzai's re-election.In October, after Galbraith was sacked, a UN audit stripped Karzai of almost a third of the votes he had taken in the first round, forcing him into a second-round run-off.However, days later Karzai was re-appointed to office uncontested after his rival, Abdullah Abdullah, withdrew from the run-off, citing widespread corruption."

-----

"Peter Galbraith said he simply suggested replacing Mr Karzai with an interim government to avoid a constitutional crisis.He said he was fired for accusing his boss, Kai Eide, of concealing widespread fraud in the elections.Mr Galbraith has launched UN proceedings to challenge his dismissal.He says that his suggestion to remove President Karzai was simply a recommendation in case the disputed Afghan presidential election remained unresolved. Mr Eide said his deputy's plan was unconstitutional, represented international interference of the worst sort, and deeply angered Mr Karzai"

Iran alleged to support the Taliban

2009-12-19T08:06:00.000-08:00

Questioner: What can you tell us about the role of Iran in helping Taliban militants -- particularly those that have been proliferating in western Afghanistan?

Eikenberry: There are intelligence reports that Iran or elements within Iran have provided training assistance to Taliban and have provided some weapons to Taliban.

I know [U.S.] General [David] Petraeus has said that the scope of that support is nothing on the level of the support that was given previously, at one time, by Iran to various terrorist elements in Iraq. Still, the reports that continue to be received about this kind of low-level support and periodic cooperation between elements in Iran and the militant extremist Taliban are disturbing and do not show good faith by [Afghanistan's] neighbor to the west.

I would like to see these reports and documents you are talking about Mr. Karl Eikenberry, US Ambassador for Afghanistan. Reports such as the reports that Iraq had mass-destructive weapons. What a disgusting person he is. At people like him I spit on!
Iran is Shia dominant and the Taliban are against the teachings of the Shias. They don't like each other and in fact, Iran once threatened the Taliban regime with war in the past, if i have it correctly in mind. Nevertheless, Iran could use the Taliban to punch somehow the USA. But proof does not exists.

Interstingly, he avoids to answer this question in detail:

Questioner: Why is there no mention of reconciliation and reintegration of former Taliban fighters in the new Obama strategy? Does this mean the United States is opposed to the idea?

Eikenberry: Clearly, part of the comprehensive strategy of your government supported by the United States and the international community is one in which of course reconciliation and reintegration have an important role. I'd like to emphasize that the United States and indeed the international community will support the efforts of the government of Afghanistan to move forward with a more comprehensive policy on reconciliation and reintegration.

And then he goes on talking about civilian casulties so he can change the topic because the truth is that there is no reconcilation and reintegration of Taliban fighters. The USA/NATO ist not interested to solve the conflict. They are there because they are interested in a long-term partnership as Eikenberry said: "Let me emphasize that the United States is not withdrawing from Afghanistan; we have a long-term partnership with your country".
He goes on and explains how this parntership will look like: "We will have a long-term relationship of providing security assistance, training, equipment, special capabilities to your army and police in the years ahead."

Just see how disgusting this person speaks like a bird:

And just as we were here in the 1950s and 1960s providing developmental assistance, our developmental assistance, our economic relations will continue in the decades ahead. Our long-term relationship.

And we will continue to have extraordinarily strong diplomatic relationship, and there'll be strong people-to-people relationship between our peoples for decades to come. So this is not about withdrawal, it's about strengthening our friendship and partnership over the longer term.

No thank you, we don't want your shitty relationship with Afghanistan.

30000 Soldaten werden in den Süden Afghanistans eingesetzt

2009-12-19T06:15:00.000-08:00

In einer Radiosendung in Kabul wurde der amerikanischen Botschafter aus Afghanistan von mehreren Zuhoerer mit mehreren Fragen konfrontiert:

Questioner: Where will the 30,000 additional U.S. soldiers being deployed to Afghanistan be sent in the country? Are there any plans to deploy them in parts of northern Afghanistan where the Taliban has been growing in strength during the past year?

Eikenberry: ...And although the majority of...the additional troops from the United States will go to southern and eastern Afghanistan, I believe that other NATO allies, but more importantly the Afghan national security forces, with their increasing strength, will be contending with the problems in certain places of the north and the northwest [to] which you referred.

Kurz: Die 30000 US Soldaten werden in den Sueden eingesetzt, laut dem amerikanischen Botschafter aus Afghanistan.

Air Strike kills three civilians / Luft(terror)anschlag toetet drei Zivillisten

2009-12-19T05:55:00.000-08:00

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- A NATO helicopter killed three civilians and wounded four others during an air strike in Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, provincial government said Friday.

On Dec. 8, hundreds of Afghans protested in eastern Laghman province over a NATO operation in which the Afghan government said six civilians were killed. ISAF rejected the claim, saying all those killed were militants.

Am 18. Dezember hat die Nato waehrend eines Luftangriffes, drei afghanische Zivillisten ermordet und vier weitere verletzt (eine Frau und drei Kinder). Am 08. Dezember, sind hunderte Afghanen protestieren gegangen, weil durch Nato Operation sechs Zivillisten ums Leben kamen. Die Isaf hat diese Behauptung zurueckgewiesen, denn nur Millitanten waeren umgebracht worden. Wie immer, versucht die Nato zu vertuschen und zu luegen.

Afghanistan - Stammeskultur, Demokratie, Taliban, Definition

2009-12-18T15:54:00.000-08:00

In weiten Teilen Afghanistans, speziell wo Pashtunen die Mehrheit bilden, herrst Stammeskultur. Demokratie, Monarchie, Kommunismus was es noch so alles gibt, kann nicht in Afghanistan funktionieren. Die Afghanen sind es gewoehnt, dass Regierungen kommen und gehen. Sie nehmen diese gar nicht ernst. Es ist eher so, dass Gruppierungen innerhalb der Taleban schon fuer den Rueckkehr an der Macht vorbereiten. Eine Schattenregierung wurde gestellt, Minister, Imame, Richter, Polizisten und co wurden und werden heute schon bestimmt, fuer die zukuenftigen Aemter. Der gesammte Widerstand ist der Ansicht, dass ein "Ruekkehr" an die Macht unausweichlich ist. Doch kann man wirklich von Rueckkehr sprechen?
Sind es die gleichen Menschen, die auch damals an der Macht waren? Oder hat sich der Begriff "Taleban" etwas geaendert?

Damals gegen die Russen gab es auch die Mujahedeen. Doch Mujahedeen war nur ein Oberbegriff fuer alle Widerstandsgruppen, damals gegen die Soviets. Ich bin stark der Meinung, dass man heute wie damals jeden pauschal als Taleban bezeichnet, der gegen die Nato-Soldaten kaempft. Taleban hat im Westen einen negativen Beigeschmack, da es meistens mit Steinigung und Brutalitaet assoziiert wird. Doch in Afghanistan nennt sich jeder ein Mujahed oder Taleban, der gegen die Besatzer kaempft. Es ist nur ein Oberbegriff. Auch innerhalb des afghanischen Widerstands, gibt es unterschiedliche Gruppierungen mit verschiedenen Meinungen. Rabani, Massoud oder Hekmatyar waren auch alle Mujahedeen, doch am Ende haben sie sich ja gegenseitig bekriegt. Man kann also nicht sagen, dass die Mujahedeen die Mujahedeen bekaempft, kann man? Genauso wenig wird man vielleicht spaeter sagen koennen, dass die Taleban die Taleban bekaempft. Was ich sagen will, ist dass man nicht alle Widerstandskaempfer mit boesen Bildern assoziieren soll, denn das ist einfach ein unwahres Bild. Viele wollen einfach die Auslaender aus dem Land haben. Andere wollen sich wegen ihrer toten Verwandten raechen. Es ist erwiesen, dass ein grosser Teil der Aufstaendler, bezahlt werden, um gegen die auslaedischen Nato-Soldaten und gegen die nationalen afghanischen Truppen zu kaempfen. In Afghanistan herrscht eine Armut, die kaum vorstellbar ist. Die Menschen wuerden alles machen um ein bisschen Geld zu verdienen.

Alles zusammen:
Demokraite kann in Afghanistan nicht funktionieren, weil durch die Stammeskultur alles geregelt wird. Dazu kommt noch die grosse Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass auch diese Regierung irgendwann verschwinden wird, wie alle anderen davor (daran glauben die Afghanen). Taleban ist ein Oberbegriff fuer alle Widerstandskaempfer, selbst shiitische Widerstandskaempfer wuerden als Taleban bezeichnet, wenn es sie geben wuerde (habe gehoert, es bewegt sich da langsam etwas).

Ich werde diesen Beitrag editieren, wenn ich Fehler entdecke oder wenn etwas unklar geschrieben worden ist. Auch werde ich bald Verlinkungen zum Text hinzufuegen.

Ueber dieses Thema mache ich gerade eine Arbeit und werde deshalb auch intensiver und detailierter auf englischer Sprache dazu berichten.

Dronen verfolgen und aufspüren - Peinlich

2009-12-17T11:22:00.000-08:00

Iraqi militants have regularly used cheap and widely-available software to intercept the feeds of US-operated drones, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

Citing senior defense and intelligence officials, the Journal said Iranian-backed Shiite insurgents used software programs such as SkyGrabber -- available online for 25.95 dollars (18 euros) -- to capture drone feeds.

Irgendwie peinlich, oder? Gut fuer die Iraker, bloed fuer die Amis. Die Afghanen/Iraker haben ihre eigene Technik. ;)

Gaza - Statistiken - Das Leben nach dem Krieg

2009-12-17T11:03:00.000-08:00

Some children no longer look on their homes as a place of safety, security and comfort. Others don't even have a home to go to. The Israeli bombardment damaged or destroyed more than 20,000 houses, forcing some families into tents and others into crowding in with relatives. Hamas distributed money to displaced families to rebuild their homes but the Israeli blockade has created a desperate shortage of materials. Almost one year later, some children still have no roof over their head.
