ISLAMABAD, Dec 10: The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (Rawa) has warned the United Nations and the world community that delay in despatching UN peacekeeping forces in Afghanistan would result bloodbaths and repetition of the unparalleled horrors and atrocities of the 1992-96.

In a declaration on the occasion of International Human Rights Day, Rawa feared that current fighting between Dostum and Hezb-i-Wahdat would not remain restricted to Mazar-i-Sharif and if the UN was sincere in its efforts to bring peace and stability in Afghanistan, then it must not support Northern Alliance.

Rawa said the UN should condemn and punish the countries, supplying funds and arms to these alleged murderers. “It will only be then that a government, devoid of terrorist- fundamentalist contamination and based on democratic values can be set up in Afghanistan,” the declaration said.

It said Rawa regarded the Bonn conference with mistrust. “The composition of the interim government, which includes Jihadis and two women, one of them a leader of the Hezb-i-Wahdat party and the other a known traitor, has proven that unfortunately the United Nations has failed in aiding our people to get rid of the rancid remains of the Northern Alliance”, it said.
