It’s now proven that Afghanistan is a society without a state. We do not deal with a weak state; rather we do have no state at all. What is the state? State is an organization which guarantees a minimum order, security, welfare and decent life and represents a minimum of public opinions. The current state not only fails to care for order, security, welfare or decent life, but also fails to share least common concerns with people.

We all know that modern state comprises of a set of security, political, cultural and economic bodies. Thus the state is more of service institution serving the people in the fields described above, and citizens, according to the law, have to take some responsibilities to it. However, Afghani state is incapable of providing minimum security. Today, armed opposition groups have given up on guerilla and limited operations used to being carried out in far located provinces and marginal regions, and target the central core of power. Carrying out attacks on military step in Hasht Sawr, raiding the prison and etc. are not just some terrorist, limited attacks; rather they reveal Karzai’s lack of authority (something that never existed from the very beginning). Given that most of terrorists who participate in such raids have been previously freed from governmental prisons, one might come to conclude that the current state is not associated with legitimate concerns and presentiments of the citizens, but with hidden, back-stage mafia groups.

Arming and urging Taliban forces to attack Hazara people, which constitutes a common ground between Taliban, state and the Islamic Party, is indicative of the state falling into the hands of tribal mafia, and reveals how the state has been diverted from its genuine origin, playing right into the hands of armed tribal mafia. Do not complain so much that poverty, corruption and discrimination is associated with current state. Be aware: there is no state at all. Rather, a mafia body works here on behalf of Taliban and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

When the conspiracy to bring down Abdul Rashid Dostum led to no result, Hekmatyar’s joining the Karzai party (or the reverse, if more appropriate to say) was delayed; however, according to which practical end, current mafia-state came to hate and bring down the very person exalted by it previously? Which practical end justifies appointing the very perpetrator who killed innocent people in Sheberghan roads to be advisor to president? And is it indeed expedient that since 6 months ago, state, Hekmatyar and Taliban try to urge, equip and arm nomads (Kuchis) of west and east to go to the lands of Hazara people, set houses on fire and destroy farmlands? Do you still believe that there is a state, and there exist a responsive system?

Economic failures, plundering public properties, lack of intellectual views within the government and provoking less important language issues, are cliché and speaking of them is just repeating the repeated and somehow troublesome. We are of no state.
