Two weeks before US presidential elections the Taliban have restarted butchering the Afghan population, knowing that the USA and international forces can't retaliate for some time and that also the Afghan army is unprepared because of so-called peace talks between Pashtun-led government, US-Pashtun envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Pashtun Taliban.
Here is a chronicle of what has happened so far inside Afghanistan:
24 Oct 2020: Nine civilians killed in bomb attack on bus between Kabul and Ghazni, Afghanistan, including three women, were killed in the explosion. [1]
24 Oct 2020: Almost 30 people killed in IS attack at Afghan education centre in a Shiite district of Kabul [2]
On Friday, rights group Amnesty International said that at least 50 people had been killed in attacks just in the preceding week, accusing the warring sides of failing to protect civilians.
“The world must sit up and take notice. Afghan civilians are being slaughtered on a daily basis,” said the rights group’s Omar Waraich.
The Taliban – a background story and the proceeding in the so-called Afghan 'peace process'
Zalmay Khalilzad is responsible for the release of over 5000 criminal and terrorist Taliban. He has claimed that he was "not happy about" the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners and added that "you have to make hard decisions". [5]
Although being of Afghan origin (he was born in 1951 in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, and is an ethnic Pashtun from the Noorzai tribe), he talks as if he has nothing in common with Afghans: "Now Afghans cannot blame the United States". [3]
Zalmay Khalilzad can be compared to Laili Helms, a US-Pashtun woman who was the Taliban's best-known advocate in the West before the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. Following the attacks, The New York Times described Helms, who is married to a nephew of the former CIA director Richard Helms, as the Taliban's "unofficial liaison to the West". [4]
The result of the release of thousands of criminal Taliban is that the Taliban now have more thugs who can terrorize the Afghan population, which is happening right now in all parts of Afghanistan, from North to South, and from East to the West. From Nimroz to Helmand to Balkh Province, the Taliban have started to kill Afghans and are continuing to terrorise Afghans.
What is the ISIS?
ISIS means Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, but nowadays it is present in many parts of the world, including Afghanistan. After the war against the Syrian secular government had started in 2011, many extremist Sunni groups emerged. Among the most extreme group became the Sunni-Wahabi group ISIS, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which was formed around 2014. The members of it had been members of other Wahabi groups before they joined the ISIS. All of them were originated in al-Qaida and were renamed several times. Wahabism is an extremist ideology which has its roots in today's Saudi Arabia, and which is the state religion in there. It is spread through petro dollars all around the globe and is the most violent Islamic group. This ideology is streamed through its representatives on Television via satellite and can be found on YouTube and on social media. It openly declares other Muslim sects as non-Muslim and declares war to all non-Wahabis, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The first acts of violence by the ISIS in Afghanistan came soon and started around 2014 when they started to attack Shia communities and mosques around Afghanistan. The main idea behind the group was to official kill Shia civilians and members of other religions without involving the Taliban or al-Qaida, as they wanted to present themselves as moderates. But this in fact is a double-game by the Taliban and their masters because at the end of the day both groups consist of same members, and while the Taliban claim responsibility for terror attacks against soldiers the ISIS claims responsibility for terror attacks against civilians with different religions and ethnic backgrounds than Pashtun. The ideology of all terror groups, ISIS, Taliban, al-Qaida, al-Nusra and all, stay the same, Saudi State sponsored and Western equipped Wahabism. Al-Qaida is still widely active in Afghanistan. [6]
On November 2nd, 2020, a terrorist attack took place in Vienna, Austria, in which 4 people died. Austrian newspaper wrote that the 20 year old Austrian-Macedonian ISIS terrorist Kujtim Fejzulai who commited the attack, initially wanted to travel to Afghanistan to join the ISIS there. [7]
That shows that Afghanistan has risen to a centre for international terrorism and is a sign that after killing minorities in that country terrorists might rejoin international terrorism after 2 decades of defeat, which they faced after the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001. Unfortunately the US-government of Trump has been short-sighted concerning the Taliban and their involvement in international terrorism.
The involvement of the corrupted Afghan and Pakistani government in the Afghan war
The corrupted Afghan government led by incompetent Pashtun president has become notorious after several attacks in October and November of the year 2020.
Marion Detjen writes in German newspaper "Die Zeit": "O. ist voller Verbitterung über die "Friedensgespräche" der korrupten Regierung und der US-Amerikaner mit den Taliban." [8] (Englisch translation: "O. [an Afghan studying in the West, author's note] is full of resentment in regards to the "peace talks" of the corrupted government and of the US government with the Taliban.")
The newspaper also reports in the same article about the deadly terrorist attacks on the Kabul university on November 2nd, 2020 and wrote about 35 deads and hundreds of injured. [8]
Also in November 2020 Al Jazeera writes: "Dayee was the second journalist to be killed in less than a week in what Human Rights Watch decried as an alarming pattern of “increased threats and attacks on the media by the Taliban”." [9]
In the year 2020 we can talk of the most perverted terror attacks in the history of humans, when hospitals, schools, journalists and universities were aimed by Taliban terrorists and their allies in Afghanistan. All those attacks happened while the corrupted Afghan government with its ally USA and US-ambassador Khalilzad were watching and often enough were even reluctant to condemn what was a result of their own actions.
Pashtunwali (Pakthunwali) - the cruel Afghan culture
In the West, especially in Germany, it has become common that mainly Afghan-Pashtun men kill their wives, partners or ex-girlfriends with knives. This culture is connected to the Pashtunwali, the Pashtun code or Pashtun tribal laws.
Some of the examples are listed below and are from German online newspapers:
December 2017: New Afghan migrant Abdul D. kills his German ex-girlfriend with a knife:
"Abdul D. tötete Mia (15) aus Kandel im Dezember 2017 mit einem Küchenmesser."
July 2020: 37 year old Afghan man kills his 27 year old wife with a knife in a bus in Bavaria, Germany:
"Ein 37-jähriger Mann aus Afghanistan hat im schwäbischen Obergünzburg seine Ex-Frau erstochen – am helllichten Tag, in einem mit Schulkindern besetzten Linienbus."
On 24 November 2020 Abdul Mohammad Tukhi (41) killed his 34 year old Afghan wife and left Germany towards Afghanistan:
"
Im Verdacht, die Frau getötet zu haben, steht ihr Ehemann Abdul Mohammad T.(41). Die beiden waren seit zwei Jahren verheiratet, sie hatte zwei Söhne (3, 7) in die Beziehung mitgebracht. Der Afghane kam 2010 nach Deutschland. Das Paar wohnte seit März in München."

The list is endless.
The Pashtunwali codex doesn't follow national laws and instead follows own verdicts. This tribal law advocates an extreme version of arbitrary law and many Pashtuns still follow it in every country in which they are living.
The involvement of Pakistani government with the Taliban
There is proof that Pakistani government and the Pakistani intelligence ISI are supporting the Taliban and are directly involved in the planning of terror attacks against Afghanistan, especially its capital Kabul. Pakistan is interested in occupying and ruling over (parts of) Afghanistan.
23 Dec. 2020: Pakistani female dissident killed in Canada. [15]
The Pakistani-German journalist writes: "In Pakistan verschwinden immer mehr Oppositionelle, auch im Ausland werden sie verfolgt." [16]
(English translation: "More and more opposing politicians disappear in Pakistan and they are also persecuted outside of Pakistan.")
Killing and attacking the Afghan intellectual elite
15 Dec. 2020: "Kabul’s deputy governor and his assistant have
been killed in a blast in Afghanistan, police say, adding that a sticky bomb
was attached to his car by unknown assailants." [10]
21 Dec. 2020: "Gunmen have murdered an Afghan journalist in
the eastern city of Ghazni, the third reporter in the violence-plagued country
to be killed in the last two months." [11]
22 Dec. 2020: "At least five people, including four doctors, were killed after a magnetic bomb attached to their car exploded in the Afghanistan capital, Kabul." [12]
24 Dec. 2020: "Weltweit verzeichnete Mexiko in diesem Jahr die höchste Zahl von
Journalisten, die wegen ihres Berufs getötet wurden. Es folgten
Afghanistan und die Philippinen, wie es in einem Bericht des Komitees
zum Schutz von Journalisten mit Sitz in New York hieß." [13]
(English translation: Afghanistan is named just second after Mexico of those countries with the highest number of journalists getting killed.)
25 Dec. 2020: Die 29-jährige Freshta Kohistani wurde in der Provinz Kapisa von bewaffneten Angreifern auf einem Motorrad erschossen (...). Dabei sei auch ihr Bruder getötet worden. (...) In Afghanistan gebe es "keine Hoffnung auf Frieden", schrieb die 29-Jährige.
Erst am Mittwoch war der bekannte afghanische Aktivist Mohammed Yusuf
Rashid in einem südlichen Vorort der Hauptstadt Kabul von bewaffneten
Männern tödlich verletzt worden. Rashid war Leiter einer unabhängigen
Wahlbeobachtungsorganisation. [14]
(English translation: 29 year old Freshta Kohistani was shot dead in the province Kapisa by armed men on a motorcycle. Her brother was also killed in the attack. Few days before her death she wrote that there is "no hope for peace" in Afghanistan. On Wednesday of the same week Afghan activist Yusuf Rashid was killed in a souther suburb of Kabul.)
