Sympathy for the People of Afghanistan and Alongside the Left Forces of this Country
Afghanistan is facing a shocking catastrophe. In that country, the US military-backed government has fallen and the fundamentalist Taliban has come to power. The US-NATO's self-centered invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, which claimed to have saved the people of this country from the yoke of the Taliban regime, ended shamefully with the transfer of power to totalitarian reactionaries. The fate of the Afghan people was trifled with, and the country fell in a much worse situation.
This incident, however, is not only against democracy and sustainable development in Afghanistan, but also against the peace, security, progress, and development of all the people of this region of the world. The establishment of the Taliban in state power will make Afghanistan more and more a base for the growth of terrorism and fundamentalism. Terrorism, which will lead to all kinds of tensions and hostilities, which are source of antagonism and wars, and these are also grounds for trading the weapon of death for the benefit of its producers.
We, the signatories of this joint statement, express our deep regret over the dire situation in Afghanistan and our concern about the consequences. In these difficult times, we strongly support Afghanistan's progressive, democratic, and just forces, who are waging a fierce struggle against fundamentalism and all forms of hegemony. We believe that the Afghan people will put these dark days behind.
Long live the progressive, freedom-seeking, and just struggle of the Afghan people
May the solidarity of the left forces of the nations with each other be stronger
