Afghanistan is not only rich in natural resources, but  in terms of geographical location it is also very important .  It connects South Asia and Europe by land via Central Asia. Due to the fact that it is in the middle of six countries of the region, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and especially China and Pakistan, it increases the importance of Afghanistan in global and regional politics.  For this reason, it is not only a victim of the conspiracies of various imperialist countries, but also the center of the war to seize it.  According to a study, the United States has spent 26,200 billion on this war.  As a result, the US budget deficit widened and the money was spent on debt.  It will have to pay USD  6.5 billion in interest by 2050.  As a result, every American owes 20,000USD  That is how the US received the cost of the entire war from its own people by imposing more taxes.  While the profits of the American arms companies increased thousands of times.  The owners of these industries include retired army and serving soldiers.  Similarly, China filled the coffers of its capitalists by extracting billions of rupees worth of precious metals such as copper and lithium from Afghanistan's mines.  Pakistan, whose occupying powers have adopted jihad as a business, has become a facilitator of these imperialist centres on the one hand and its desire to make Afghanistan its subordinate state on the other.  This is leading to the fact that the people of Afghanistan are suffering from war instead of prosperity.  Innocents have been pushed into the arena of fire and blood.

 The Communist Party believes that the war by the US arms trade and imperialist interests is taking its toll on the Afghan people, especially women.  Mullahs and tribal chiefs are making good money from this war economy.  Their families are not only enjoying peace and prosperity in many countries including Pakistan but their children are also getting higher education.  The families of the Afghan people are suffering from the bloodshed of the war or the hardship of refuge.The Communist Party of Pakistan demands that the Pakistani rulers and business generals who trade in jihad stop this business now.  The Pakistani people, especially the progressive and democratic forces, should unite with the Afghan brothers and sisters and put pressure on their state to not to be facilitator of the imperialist centres and stop killing the unarmed people with bombs and ammunition, leaving them only dead bodies of their loved ones.  Don't force them to fly or migrate to Pakistan.

 The Communist Party calls on the United Nations and the international community to provide food, milk and medicine for innocent children as soon as possible to save the Afghan people, who are being raised in the shadow of the forces of anarchy, from any further horrific human tragedy again unfolding on their doorsteps.  Establish a broad-based interim government in Afghanistan that includes representatives of all nationalities, ethnic units, sects and ideologies.  Let this government hold elections and move the country on the path of democracy.
