AN URGENT PASHTUN
CRY FOR JUSTICE in United AFGHANISTAN
I, Dr. Rahmat Rabi Zirakyar, received the account below (in the national language of Afghanistan
Pashto) on December 12, 2010. From the pain he is expressing in his letter, its author is obviously a Pashtun parliamentarian
in Afghanistan. My concern for his safety does not allow me to reveal his name. Dr. Rahmat Rabi Zirakyar,
U.S.A.

Respected….! I wish you long life to help your Afghan brothers in need.
Manawi [Head of the election commission]
did what Rabani, Fahim, Abdullah and Qanooni had planed, and he surpassed their predecessor [Ahmad Shah] Massoud.
They enjoyed Iranian support on the international level. Before the elections, they manage to control the
Ministry of Interior, and they deteriorated the security situation in regions where Pashtuns and the Persian-speaking Afghans
live together. Manawi went on tours of those provinces
and realigned his plans with Besmellah. Together, they did three things: First,
they forged a plan to reduce the number of Pashtuns in the lower house of Parliament, the House of
Representatives. Second, they reduced the number of the members of Afghan Social-Democratic
Party (Afghan Mellatyans) and of Islamic Party [of Hekmatyar’s Hezb-e Islami]. Third,
they prepared the groundwork for the hard-core Setamies [Persian-speaking anti-Pashtun elements-- usually supported by former
Soviet Union/current Russia, as well as Iran]. Despite all the threats and dangers, a number
of Pashtuns voted with great courage for their candidates. Shamelessly, votes for those Pashtun candidates in
Konduz, Hearat,Balkh, Ghazni and in some other provinces were declared null and void. Finally
through ridiculous complaints, a handful of successful Pashtun candidates were also declared failed. Manawi and his masters
want to change the political system in Afghanistan and its Constitution. People
like Latin Pedram and Hafiz Mansur were sent to the Parliament. They want federalism. By trying to own
two-third seats in the parliament, they would try – in the event of the president’s non-approval - to bring changes
in the Constitution and establish federal system in Afghanistan…. They also would attempt – with a two-third
majority in the House of Representatives – to introduce “melli sarod” (national anthem) and national terminology
in Persian. On December 12, 2010 Manawi openly protested that they will not let these elections to be re-run. He threatened
that the dire consequences for doing so will lead to a new rebellion in the country and the responsibility will be on the
shoulders of those who make such attempt. It is quite obvious
that they have strong support behind them. Today, the
solution to the problem is this one: Election results in some of the places such as Ghazni,
Heart, Konduz ,Kabul, Balkh and some other controversial provinces shall be declared null and void, and perhaps members of
the previous parliament could continue until grounds are prepared for a re-run of the elections. The country could face dire
situation if Pashtuns are ignored and not offered their fair share in the election. This is not a simple but a serious problem
which could give rise to the failure [of the mission] of the International Community and could lead to
the emergence of even more painful catastrophe in Afghanistan. This
is the voice of the oppressed Pashtunns. It shall be reflected in the world’s mass media and it is
hoped the world listens to it. In
hope of a united and developed Afghanistan!
