Recently, it has emerged in a report published by SIGAR that the United States has spent more on reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan than it spent on the Marshal Plan, which resuscitated Europe after the Second World War.

According to the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), congressional appropriations for reconstruction in Afghanistan have reached $104 billion in today's dollars. On the other hand, the Marshall Plan delivered $103 billion in today's dollars to 16 European countries between 1948 and 1952. However, the Economic Ministry of Afghanistan rejects the amount mentioned in the report and says that only 73 billion, in which only 18% spending was at the hands of Afghan government, was given to Afghanistan.

 

Comment:

Even though, the crusaders have spent 62 billion dollars only on strengthening Democracy in Afghanistan using B-52, helicopters, tanks and by equipping the security agencies of Afghanistan, they still have no impact on the street criminals let alone dealing with "Terrorists". These Afghan agencies and military personnel, despite of getting trainings and all sorts of equipment, have no trust in Democracy and its values. Despite all the money and efforts, for the first time in the history, Afghanistan is placed the number one most corrupt countries of the world.

So far, Afghanistan government has failed to showcase any project that has played any significant role in the prosperity of its people and is of any strategic importance. Well constructed wide roads are not constructed for the masses, rather, these are only for the free and easy movement of the crusaders Army and for its logistics, so that they are secured from the attacks of the Mujahedeen and move risk free. However, the roads are on the verge of destruction in most of the areas and government has no strategic plan nor have any budget to repair it. Hence, this can be a mere claim but nothing substantial in reality.

Despite huge spending, war, killings and other countless crimes, democracy has not been accepted by the people of Afghanistan. The recent presidential election is a clear testimony that only three million people have casted their votes which was not because of their credence of Democracy, and that their votes will bring change; rather this vote casting was because of ethnic, linguistic and tribal affiliations, and the loyalty to some leaders. The other 4-5 million votes as we all know were bogus votes casted in collaboration with the government organizations, election commission, observers assigned by the candidates, the dispute of which hasn't been solved yet even with the interference of United Nations and John Kerry.

At the same time back home in America, the ruling elite are warning and threatening their people of severe economic crises in the near future and that because of these crises America could face conditions worse than Spain and Greece. In relations to this, in a recent interview to Fox News program ‘On the Record' Donald Tramp said it clearly that America is no more regarded as a wealthy nation. He also said that, when a country is not wealthy it needs to take loans and we are getting loans from China and other countries. Our debt now has reached to 16 Trillion and very soon it will exceed more than this. He not only described the U.S. debt being sky high, but also mentioned the dire situation of unemployment and said it is actually 15% and not 8.2%. He mentioned that even some experts believe that the unemployment has reached to 21%.

Lastly, this is capitalist ideology, an ideology made by human beings using their limited minds. That's the reason why we see the same ruling elite creating problems for the rest of their people to get benefit. At the same time, they are warning their people about their dark future so that they justify their brutal invasions, colonializing other nations to loot and plunder their resources under the guise of Freedom and Democracy, and hide their crimes behind the fancy terms. However, the day is not far when the world will soon witness a system, Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah, given to us by our Creator which will not only take the Muslim Ummah out of this political, economic and social mayhem but will liberate the entire humanity from the savagery and ferocity inflicted upon them. This will be done by enacting the Ahkams of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw), by reestablishing the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate".

That day will be the day of regret and shame for those who reject the call of Allah (swt) and his Messenger (saw). As Allah (swt) said in the Holy Quran;

((إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ))

"Lo! Those who disbelieve spend their wealth in order that they may debar (men) from the way of Allah. They will spend it, then it will become anguish for them, then they will be conquered. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto hell."
