    ON
    *A
    “Sacred Mission”
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    ===================
    GREAT
    AHMAD SHAH MASSOOD
    OF
    Afghanistan
    .
    **************************
    ***************************
    ************

    ***
    THE
    HIGH RIVER VALLEY :
    •••••••••••••••••••••
    *
    Strong sense of traditional Islamic piety
    always dominated most aspects of lives; like
    daily prayer calls- all through out the constellations of towns and villages that stretched below under the high peaked
    glaciers and lower rugged terrains
    along
    the steep mountain slopes and swift-running river flows of Punj-Shayr high valley ((roughly 75 miles long)).

    Interacting towns and villages are also dotted down bellow, along
    the Punj-Shayr river banks and streams- on its winding pathways, from
    “Gul-Bahahr” rapids and falls, all the way south
    to
    “Tug-Aub” hamlets,
    of
    “Kapisa” Province.
    ((next to eastern high-peaked flanks
    of
    the
    “Shamali’s big valley”)).

    *****
    ***
    *
    Those loosely-connected
    and
    traditional networks of isolated communities were always culturally well-defined and tacitly maintained
    under
    unofficially-strict Islamic norms and jurisdictions which gave the whole region a rare form
    of
    “cohesive unity”- unparalleled
    to
    most other parts
    of
    the country at large.
    *
    Those deeply-held ancient symbolic expressions and religious devotions
    ((early 70’s)) were always acting as a sort of
    counterbalance
    to
    whimsical
    shifting cultural moods and trends
    of
    “Kabul City”
    ((roughly 60 miles southeast from the entrance to the Punj-Shayr valley))
    *
    Kabul City was rapidly modernizing
    and
    slowly turning into a major international political hub right in the midst
    of
    Central
    and
    Southwest Asia.
    *
    A case in point, was the presence
    of
    more than thirty embassies that were representing many countries across the world.
    *

    FOR
    A
    SACRED CAUSE :
    ••••••••••••••••••••
    *
    The intensification of tug of the cold-wars among the major international political power brokers and their collaborators,
    ((later 70’s and onwards)), began
    to
    gradually stir endemic regional instabilities that made the whole region, at times, greatly-vulnerable
    to
    extreme forms of social upheaval and foreign take overs.
    *
    *
    The Capital was getting increasingly alienated, on
    its social, economical and political platforms and affairs, from the rest
    of
    the strongly-established traditional rural lives, outside
    the mainstreams of the Capital city where foreigners, ((even hippies)), were freely mingling and actively
    pushing
    and
    selling
    their unique agendas
    to
    agents of the government and local businesses
    *
    The political mobilization and later tactical resistance and stands of the alliance under
    Ahmad Shah Massood’s charismatic ideological and military leadership against the Soviet invasion ((late December of 1979)) turned as a solid model,
    for
    most other parts of the country.
    *
    The mottos of his movement were closely resonated with the traditional cultural
    and
    religious aspirations
    of
    the majority
    of
    the people of Afghanistan
    *
    =================
    Social mobilization
    of
    the Muslim people of
    “Punj-Shayr”, ((a conservative and isolated river valley bastion)), was set
    to
    be used as a model
    for
    the rest of the country- it was the beginning
    of
    a “sacred cause” that soon transcended the
    geographic boundaries
    and
    ethnic lines.
    ==================
    ========•••••••••========•======••••••
    The wise leadership formulated something special by embracing
    deeply-rooted traditionally-practical schools of Islamic jurisprudence
    as
    an inspirational guide- it was all meant to address the cherished traditional religious norms, as well as, the cultural independence
    of
    those isolated folks that were increasingly coming
    under
    intense social pressures and harmful grips of foreign-inspired ideologies.
    ===================
    ===================
    *
    Ahmad Shah Massood was
    keenly aware
    of
    his unique position and the required urgency
    and
    devotion to help counter the imposing agendas which were mainly serving the exclusive geopolitical interests
    of
    the imposing powers.
    *
    ==========
    =====
    ===
    =
    ON
    A
    STRAIGHT PATH :
    ••••••••••••••••••••
    *
    Soon, after the Soviet departure from Afghanistan, ((1989)), all hopeful signs
    of
    a peaceful Afghanistan dashed; and detracted -unquestionably, due to executions
    of
    new rounds
    of well-calculated plots that were obviously meant to perpetuate
    anarchies; destabilize the local economy derail peaceful process among the regular Islamic political parties inside Afghanistan.
    *
    *
    The dilemmas of the presence
    of
    arrogantly-poised
    foreign military and diplomatic corps, on one hand, and the critically-importance
    of
    a peaceful resolution as a final aspiration
    of
    the regular folks, on the other hand, kept
    Ahmad Shah Massood
    and
    other honorable resistance leaders vigilant,
    as
    well as,
    suspiciously-puzzled- all due to greedy and savage natures of the foreign-conceived
    dirty schemes and their
    direct
    and/or
    indirect
    military interventions.
    *
    *****************************************
    **************************
    ***************
    **********
    *****
    Obviously, the main purpose
    of
    the foreign perpetrators was to maintain the powerful mass movements of Afghanistan at bay- by keeping the internal infernos
    aflame under the intense fires
    of
    imposed anarchies
    and
    disunity.

    *
    *
    In spite of extreme efforts,
    ((by
    Ahmad Shah Massood; his associates
    and
    other honorable Islamic leaders
    of
    Afghanistan)), for a peaceful resolution, the leaderships
    of
    the bullying international powers were
    always opting for distraction and making sure
    to
    deprive
    the regular folks
    of
    Afghanistan from restoration
    of
    civilized
    law and order
