KARACHI, Nov 8: The United States is overtly trying to divide Afghanistan along Pakhtoon and non-Pakhtoon lines and it is covertly trying for fragmentation of Pakistan.

This was claimed by Dr Shahida Wizarat, while speaking on “War against terror or the New World Order” here on the SZABIST campus on Thursday. The lecture was heard live over the Internet in the Islamabad campus of the ZSABIST and other parts of the world.

She drew a parallel between the American-led attacks on Iraq in 1991, which she said were aimed at dividing that country, and the present campaign was aimed at dividing Afghanistan. Dr Wizarat was of the view that the ongoing war in Afghanistan seemed to be the implementation of the CIA report 2015, written some years back.

She also called upon the developing countries to unite against neo- colonialism.

Dr Wizarat said many Muslim countries were justified in their apprehension that this war was against them, but she differed from the perception and said Muslims alone were not the target of the US-led coalition but the entire developing world, especially those who opposed American policies.

The “war against terrorism” was nothing except the next stage of implementing the NWO by the Anglo-US axis through their three-pronged strategy which included brute force, fraud and misuse of religion.

They were using political, cultural (through the English language, dress and etiquette) and economic means, including the New International Economic Order, ie, globalization, to impose a New World Order.

“For the past 200 years, we have been living in a world designed on US- British based strategies to get for these two nations the complete dominance of the whole world,” she said.

She felt that their political strategy was being implemented through the establishment of puppet governments in the majority of countries while military part of their intentions was being carried out through Nato.

“The most probable objectives of this New International Economic Order could be to get control over the Caspian Sea oil, imperialism and fragmenting countries into small geographical parts, like they tried to divide Iraq,” she claimed.

Dr Wizarat said the war against terrorism had everyone on board, including the European Union, Japan, Russia, the Central Asian Republics, China and Russia.

She believed that globalization had brought more poverty than progress to many countries.

Dr Wizarat also referred to historical evolution and rise and fall of empires and said the US should not forget the fall of the British Empire and the liquidation of the Soviet Union. The USA, she said, could not escape the price of its attacks on Afghanistan. She pointed out that the Soviet Union not only lost its superpower status but also it very existence as a political entity, as a result of its engagement in Afghanistan.

She referred to a book on the Western armament industry, published in 1967, in which the author had contended that killing and maiming of peoples in the developing countries brought prosperity to the West through boosting the industrial-military complex.

“If innocent lives in Afghanistan are being lost for bringing prosperity to the West, then who is the terrorist? I tend to agree with Chomsky who has termed the US the biggest terrorist and rogue state in the world,” she said.
