Politically proven, the actual sellout of this nation is King Zahir Shah. Refusing to be ousted from power he is foreced to be exiled in Italy and then after the many blood sheds of the Invasion of Soviet Union even though he could return to Afghanistan for he is no longer exhiled he refused to return and when Russians were defeated, he never returned, when the warlords were defeated he never returned, when all of a sudden the Taliban were defeated he returns home to bring peace and stability?
Never knowing or thinking about the losses the Afghan people received during these wars. The so called King never thinks about the wounds he has caused himself for the lives before and he returns to save them? Were was he during the Soviet Invasion between 1979 - 1989? Were was he during he Sovient Intrim Government between 1989 - 1992? Where was he between 1992 - 1996? Were was he during the Taliban Regime? Invasion, civil wars, regimes have gone and yet he returns decades later to save the people?
May GOD have mercy on your soul for the wrongs you have done.
