Mohib's Book Narrates the Collapse of the Republic of Afghanistan and Critiques of Ghani

The book "The Collapse of the Republic of Afghanistan" by Hamdullah Mohib is a candid account of the fall of the Republic of Afghanistan and the political challenges of that time. Mohib, who left Afghanistan with Mohammad Ashraf Ghani in the last days of his government, provides a deep analysis of the political problems and institution-building in the country.

A Critique of Ashraf Ghani's Policies

In this book, Mohib defends Mohammad Ashraf Ghani's record, considering him a politician who believed in institution-building and fighting corruption. According to Mohib, Ghani was trying to "rescue power from the clutches of warlords" and that is why he entered politics. However, at the same time, Mohib critically addresses some of Ghani's political rivals and questions their performance.

Political Disputes and Government Crises

One of the main themes of the book is the deep rift between Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah. Mohib specifically points out that these disputes reached a dangerous stage where both declared themselves winners of the election and held oath-taking ceremonies in separate locations. This political divide was so deep and complex that ministries and security forces were also split into two factions and ceased cooperation.

Mohib further critiques the "Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan," stating that this party hindered the implementation of Ghani's development and reform plans. He criticizes Salahuddin Rabbani as one of the key figures of this party, describing him as a "prince-minded" individual lacking self-confidence.

Mohib's book not only narrates the political challenges in Afghanistan but also delves into aspects of his own biography. From his years living among Afghan refugees in Pakistan to studying in England and entering politics, Mohib recounts as an eyewitness to Afghanistan's transformations.

Deep Analysis of Institutional Inefficiency

As a former official in Afghanistan's National Security Council, Mohib also refers to the inefficiency of this institution, describing it as "a kindergarten for little princes." He writes that many employees of this institution not only did not know their duties but were hired due to familial and political connections.

Mohib also criticizes Hanif Atmar, the National Security Advisor, considering him a selfish individual with a personal agenda. These critiques reflect an inefficient system within Afghanistan's political structure that gradually led to the collapse of the republic.

Ultimately, Mohib's book can be seen as an important resource for a deeper understanding of the challenges and failures of the Republic of Afghanistan in recent years, while also providing a more precise analysis of the roots of these crises.
