We condemn John Bolton for his lies and nonsense about Afghanistan

 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

In his newly released book, John Bolton has written only lies and nonsense about President Trump's Afghanistan policy. He has portrayed President Trump's completely harmless statements as negative and exaggerated. He wants to deceive the public and boost his profits from book sales.

Bolton wanted to create unrest in Afghanistan and continue the war regardless of the human loss. A political adviser should behave fairly. If he writes about a country like Afghanistan, then he should also have sufficient knowledge. However, it is obvious that he has no knowledge of Afghanistan policy. Before the publication of his book, Mr Bolton should have considered that his lies and nonsense would harm the country of Afghanistan and pour even more petrol onto the fires of war.

It would have been fair and just if the court responsible had prevented the book from being published and imposed a penalty on Bolton for his actions because the lies and nonsense it contains could exacerbate the Afghanistan conflict, which could result in millions of more deaths.

The war in Afghanistan has been going on for 41 years. The people of Afghanistan have a strong desire for peace. They have placed their hope for a peaceful solution to the Afghanistan conflict on President Trump. The Afghan people were delighted when Mr Trump was able to sign the peace deal with the Taliban on 29 February 2020. Based on information known to us, many Afghans, including older women, have prayed fervently that Allah would allow President Trump to enter paradise because he has cared for peace in Afghanistan unlike anyone before. We are now very close to peace in Afghanistan.

We are convinced that President Trump has been successful in both domestic and foreign policy. In particular, his Afghanistan policy should be given the highest marks thanks to the peace agreement signed with the Taliban on 29 February 2020.  Bolton may have become jealous of President Trump's success.  President Trump is seeking to ensure peace in Afghanistan. However, Mr. Bolton's behaviour continues to cause wars and conflicts around the world.

Best regards

Hayattullah Maiwand
