thank you so much for uploadin this video about our great leader who fought for justice, democrocy, freedom and respect for human rights.

even though i am a pashtun but we still love him, because he defended every single Afghanistani throughout his resistance against Russians, Taliban, Al Qaeda and panjabi pashtuns. many thanks

The Russians at that point were in agreement with the British that there should not be any Persianate Sunni Jihad against Russia. The British then aided the low life tribal bastards & theives of the border with their protege Nadir to launch a war from the the south. Habibullah beat them back several times - but eventually relented. The Doz tribes looted Kabul. These running dog of the kuffar tribes were allies of the British in earlier invasion - against whom Parwan Kapisa.

The truth about Habibulah is very interesting. The Russians invaded the north of Afghanistan whilst habibulah was Amir - in an effort to restore the Pashtun fascist illegitmate born Amanullah. Habibullah lost 8000 of his troops fighting to kick the Russian out. He wanted to launch a Jihad against the USSR for its occupation of Central Asia - and the Russians primarliy feared that a Persian led Sunni Jihad against them from south of the Amu could cause the Persiante ppl of CA to rise up.

People know their history, but because of the past 150, or 200 years on this land were such goverments that if anyone did say something about this, their marks would dissapear, as would they. E.g: Our Famous Writers, Poets, Freedom Fighters. For Example, Habib ullah. And in Schools, because of pashtun force, we are taught that he was a rebel. Bacie Sakaw, but he was a real freedom fighter. dorood ba tamome ham tabor hoiam TAJIKAN in PARSI IAN.

Thank you. It is great to know that more and more of us are becoming concious of the real history of our land.

[JohnTheAriahi]

I agree completely with what you said here, word-by-word.

Long live Khorasan, the real name of this land! Let not colonialists think that through the creation of the taliban against us, they are able to prise away OUR land from us. Our land was called, is called, and will be called Khorasan. We may have fallen from our horse, but we still have a quill in our hand.

Long Live Aryan People, And the land of Aryana. Khorasan and the Valley of the five lions Panjsher.

You are the best

[Ghurshah]

Thank you for this.

Ahmad Shah Massoud was a representative of the real culture and people of that land, that land of Khurasan.

Khurasan has had and still has countless enemies, Massoud too had and still does have many enemies.

The concept of Afghanistan is a foul invention of colonialism and a conspiracy against the people, culture and land of Khurasan.
