Sayed Ali Chavoshi/ Two years ago, in 1401 AH, a ceremony was held at the office of the Tebyan Center for Social and Cultural Activities and the Tebyan News Agency in Mazar-e-Sharif to mark National Journalists’ Day and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of AVA.
This ceremony, which was organized by enlightening and media elements at the office of the Tebyan Center and the Afghan Voice Agency in Mazar-e-Sharif with the participation of various segments of society, including scholars, students, influential people and public elders, and especially media people and cultural figures, was unfortunately attacked by the enemies of awareness and awakening.
Since the traitorous enemy fears the growth of the intellectual level of the Islamic society, he has always tried to ensure that a powerful Islamic state never forms anywhere on earth. We all witnessed that the goal of creating a power vacuum in Afghanistan and creating a free region (without a central government) in this geography by the United States was to revive civil wars and turn this geostrategic situation in the region into a threat to anti-arrogant countries and Israel.
By creating fear and terror, the US wanted to destroy the opportunity for the formation of a central government in Afghanistan and instead of stability in the country, create chaos and tribal and sectarian bullying, in which, of course, the soldiers of the National Army under the name of ISIS played the largest role.
Therefore, after the fall of the Republic and at the beginning of the Islamic Emirate, groups affiliated with the US and the mercenaries of the enemies of Islam and Afghanistan began terrorist activities in all corners of Afghanistan, according to the orders of their masters, to achieve the previously planned goals of the US in the country. Among them, in 1401 AH, by organizing an explosion, a ceremony held under the title of "Mahdism, Media and Culture Promotion" by the Center for Social and Cultural Activities of Tebyan Afghanistan and the Afghan Voice News Agency (AVA) in Mazar-e-Sharif was destroyed.
The hidden goals of this assassination:
1- Weakening the fledgling government and inciting the people against it; Given the propaganda that had been carried out against the Taliban movement in the past and considering the previous actions of this movement over the past twenty years, a number of people were not only not happy with their return to power, but were also extremely worried and anxious about their dominance and establishment. Therefore, according to American estimates, the best opportunity to create challenges in the path of the fledgling Islamic Emirate government was the first days of this movement’s re-appearance in Afghanistan.
2- Eliminating, destroying and weakening popular organizations that, contrary to American policies, sought to establish security and peace for the people and, not only at this time but for more than several decades, provided enlightenment against the plans of global arrogance not only in Afghanistan but also in the region and provided a platform for the growth of Islamic and national thought and ideas.
3- Creating fear and panic and deepening the spirit of despair and hopelessness among the society and encouraging them to emigrate to neighboring countries and beyond the region.
And also some goals that cannot be mentioned in this brief text.
Yes, my dears!
During the ceremony that day, journalists, who have the capacity to shout out the people’s pain and to explain the government’s actions to the people, were attacked. About 25 prominent and prominent journalists from more than 20 provincial, national and international media outlets residing in Mazar-e-Sharif attended the ceremony to, on the one hand, participate in an analytical discussion on the topic of the meeting and, on the other hand, to honor them on the occasion of National Journalist Day; unfortunately, a bloody explosion occurred and 37 journalists and cultural figures present were injured and three others were martyred.
The martyrs of the Afghan News Center and the Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) stood guard in order to fulfill their mission of informing the people and for the growth and development of the country and homeland, sometimes shouting out the voices of the oppressed and sometimes informing the people about the government’s constructive functions and programs, but ultimately they paid the price for this sacred responsibility with their own lives.
Today, the responsibility of continuing their path falls on you and me, so that by keeping their memory alive, and by drawing inspiration from the thoughts and ways of these martyrs of awareness and awakening, we can enlighten and inform about the plots and deceit of the enemies of religion and country, fight against the seditions and tricks of global arrogance and the hostile media affiliated with them, and increase the political, cultural, and media awareness of our society as much as possible.
