Afghan Embassy's Racist and descriminating Website

Afghanistan is composed of many ethnicities with different languages and in many cases quite different traditions and values. But the common thing about this complex ethnic picture is that we are all Afghans. Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara and Uzbek all belong to the same soil. That is why we should have the same heroes and the same enemies.

But is that really so? No it is not - unfortunately.
 
The Afghan embassy's website in Poland shows the notorious warlord Ahmad Shah Masood among the very respected Afghan figures like his highness the King and the president Karzai. It is, least said, the worst case of racism and party politics.

I happened to check the websites of Afghan ebmassies all around the world and I found out many shocking facts: Most of them have a clearly descriminating attitude towards Pashto language. Pashto is undermined on many Afghan embassy sites but the worst of all is the website of Afghan embassy in Poland.

It has, as a matter of fact, very provoking layout and a clearly descriminating content. The entry page of the site contains the photos of The Father of nation his highness the King and the notorious warlord of the Panjshir valley Ahmad Shah Masood. Both are shown as the people who represent Afghanistan.

This is a clear attempt to depict Masood as a national hero which we at Zmong-Afghanistan.COM strongly condemn. The job of an embassy is to represent a whole nation and take into consideration all the ethnic groups of a land. That is why it makes no sense to us that the ambassador has chosen to display Masood among the respected figures of the nation like his highness the King and the president Karzai.

In addition to that, the website has completely ignored Pashto and all the information about Passport and Visa is in English, Polish and Dari. Not even a word of Pashto, which is the language of the majoriy and one of the official languages in Afghanistan, can be found on the site.

Safis Web strongly condemns this act and considers this an abvious case of descrimination and racism. We have contacted the embassy and expressed our opinion on the matter and we hope the ambassador would take the necessary action to correct the matter. Read the email sent from Safis Web to the ambassador.


It is a shameful act and the fact that it is on the website representing the embassy of Afghanistan makes the matter worse. Pashtuns have always been considerate and shown least interest in such matters, that is why today Pashto's existence is in clear danger.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Ahmad Shah Masood, Rashid Dostum, Rabbani, Sayyaf and other warlords have one thing in common: they have been supported by foreign countries and Afghans consider them as traitors.

We at Safis Web want all Pashtuns and other ethnic groups to contact the embassy and express your opinions on the matter at the following email address:

warsaw@afghanembassy.com.pl

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Ahmad Shah Masood, Rashid Dostum, Rabbani, Sayyaf and other warlords have one thing in common: they have been supported by foreign countries and Afghans consider them as traitors.


God bless our Fatherland.

Comments:  Some people complain that some Pashtun sites, like Safi web, do not represent the Tajiks in their websites. That is false, atleast most Pashtun websites refer to Tajiks as brothers, and don't put up humiliating stuff against them. Atleast they don't monger hate and animosity towards them. In reality, it is actually the Tajiki websites that promote hate among Afghans, websites that promote ethnic supremacy, and ethnic hatred and cleansing. Some example of those Tajik-run Afghan websites are: http://members.tripod.com/%7Ek.....s/why.html http://dividedafghanistan.tripod.com/id21.html http://ahmaqshababa.tripod.com/new_page_10.htm

Comments: The one-sided partisan website of Polish Afghan Embassy is indeed a clear and disastrous depiction of racism and ethnic nationalism. Afghan unity and tolerance towards all Afghan nationals have been sacrificed for their own selfish dictum of accrediting a personal "hero," whom some Afghans don't even warrant a status of a hero. This shows that some Afghans, or in this case, Tajiks, are willing to promote their ethnicty superiority on the basis of personal bias and hatred. Such kind of ignorant and geonicidal representatives should not be elected to these kinds of offices in the first place, otherwise, it will result in more ethno-political hatred among the various ethnicities of Afghanistan.

Comments: I feel ashmed, not proud, to see Masood manhoos picture anywhere..specially, on an Afghan embassy webiste. It is Absolutley degrading to our motherland to associate Masood (a well known thug, opportunist and a certified fascist rapist) with our country or her tri-color flag!

Comments: Nabil Tanha you fucking uneducated prick go learn english first then talk big. The sites you mentioned are all personal sites and personal sites could be anything because it is a personal choice. But what we are talking about here is a web site that represents the whole community of Afghans in Poland and it is racist to bring forward a personal point of view like 'Masoos an Afghan Hero' I wouldn't piss on this guy because they all are 'watan faroosh' and are accountable for thousands of innocent lives.

The following pages are about our Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara brothers:
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/tajik.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/uzbek.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/hazara.asp
These pages have been on our site from the first day. Besides, you can find articles on Tajik, Hazara and Uzbek profiles in our "Afghan Profiles" section. Some examples:
http://www.laghman.net/profiles/masood.asp
http://www.laghman.net/profiles/dostum.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/profiles/zia-masood.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/profiles/qanuni.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/profiles/abdullah.asp
http://www.zmong-afghanistan.com/profiles/fahim.asp
Do you see? We have dozens of articles and information on Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara leaders in Afghanistan since we consider them all Afghans. We are not only agaist Masoud but also condemn what Hekmatyar, Sayyaf and other Pashtun leaders did to our country.
