Tamim Asi, former deputy minister of defense of Afghanistan and expert on military issues, in a sharp and historic reaction to Pakistan’s recent policies, called the country a “military dictatorship” that is governed under the control of the army chief of staff and the ISI. Referring to Islamabad’s media portrayal of some Afghan figures, he described them as “ignorant and traitorous clowns” and emphasized that Afghanistan has its own master; an aware, knowledgeable and patriotic generation that loves its homeland with a limp and a slap or with a sneer and a sneer.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Tamim Asi, former deputy minister of defense of Afghanistan, reacted to Pakistan’s recent positions and actions towards Afghanistan by publishing a fiery note on his X-page and challenged the power structure in Islamabad in a frank and reckless language.
Military Dictatorship; The Legacy of Two Dynasties and the Infamous Army
In the opening paragraph of his message, Asi addressed Pakistani leaders: “The clowns you invited to Islamabad to display in front of the media were ignorant and traitorous Afghans. Pakistan should first put its own internal affairs in order before advising others on how to run their country.”
He then described Pakistan’s political structure and stated: “You are practically living in a military dictatorship right now. There is no freedom unless it is approved by or served by the Chief of Army Staff, Hafiz Munir, and the ISI.”
The former Deputy Minister of Defense called Pakistan’s political history a captivity of the two Bhutto and Sharif dynasties, adding: “Since the establishment of Pakistan, the politics of this country have been under the control of two dynasties; the Bhuttos and the Sharifs, both of whom are the creations of the infamous Pakistani army. These families see the rest of the people as slaves who have to pay for the back-breaking debts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Saudis and other expenses.”
A Reverse Narrative of History: Afghans Paved the Way for British Dominance in India
Tammim Asi then turned the page, referring to the historical narratives prevalent in Pakistan regarding Afghanistan’s border role in colonial equations, and citing the works of Sir William Dalrymple, a prominent British historian, and stating: “Afghanistan was not carved or built by the British Empire; on the contrary, the fact is that the successive Afghan campaigns in India paved the way for the British East India Company to dominate India. The Marathas, who were hardworking warriors, were destroyed and weakened so that the British could take advantage of the weakness caused by the Afghan campaigns and dominate India. Read the books of Sir William Dalrymple.”
He then added, in a scathing attack on the foundations of Pakistan’s founding: “Later, it was the British who gifted Pakistan to Muhammad Ali Jinnah as a trophy. So, if we go by your logic, the first victim of any restoration of British order and plotting in the region will be Pakistan itself; a country that is already struggling with at least three separatist movements and internal insurgencies.”
Nuclear weapons will not prevent collapse
Asi went on to give Islamabad a historic warning, referring to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal: “Do not fire your nuclear warheads. Nuclear weapons did not prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union and will not help you either.”
A Conscious Afghan Generation; One Homeland, One Love
The former Deputy Defense Minister concluded, in an epic tone full of national pride, by referring to the unity of Afghanistan’s young generation and wrote: “Afghanistan has its own people. It has a young, conscious and knowledgeable generation. One went to school and one went to university, but we all love that homeland. One of us wears a langi and chapalek and went to school, the other wears a darshi and nakta and went to university. But a homeland is a homeland.”
This message is considered a reflection of the solidarity of the educated and traditional generation of Afghanistan in defending the national identity and territorial integrity of their country against foreign pressures, especially Pakistan.
Dr. Maria Sultan, the voice of “the disintegration of Afghanistan”
This is while, according to Mr. Asi, the Central Asia Strategic Stability Institute in Pakistan and its board of directors, including Dr. Maria Sultan, who has now raised the voice of “the disintegration of Afghanistan” and “support for Afghan separatist and centrist movements,” recently hosted a group of Afghan “female activists” and “political dissidents.”
He noted: This center acts as a “think tank” and “the arm of the ESA” on Afghan issues, but the question is: In what overt and covert deal did the participants of the Islamabad conference and the facilitator of the “Islamabad process” submit to such humiliation and in return for what? Is the Islamabad process still active? Who are the organizers and facilitators of this process?
Maria Sultan, head of the South Asia Strategic Stability Institute (SSASI) in Pakistan, says that Afghanistan will lose its geography in the emerging regional environment. She says that perhaps in the future there will be no country with this shape and structure. According to her, there are Tajiks, Uzbeks and Pashtuns in Afghanistan, but not Afghans.
These words have been met with widespread anger and strong reactions among the people and political and media activists of Afghanistan, and have once again united everyone around the axis of anti-Pakistan policy.
