“Afghanistan’s Future”
A Strategic Dialogue on Peace and Geopolitics
The Paris Academy of Geopolitics and the Geopragma Institute
Keynote Remarks by Amrullah Saleh – Chairman and Leader of Afghanistan Green Trend – AGT
| 22 April 2025
Key Themes
-
Western Betrayal: The August 15, 2021, collapse marked the West’s moral failure, abandoning agreements like the Strategic Partnership Agreement and funding the Taliban ($45–60 million weekly), described as a “birthday cake” handover (Lisa Curtis).
-
Human Suffering: 8 million Afghans are displaced, with uncounted deaths ignored by Western media, which blames Afghans instead of NATO’s failures.
-
Doha Conspiracy: The Doha Agreement was a geopolitical scheme to install the Taliban, not a peace process, perpetuating a “human zoo” narrative.
-
Lessons: Western exploitation, abandoned values, the importance of regional neighbors, and the error of disarming anti-Taliban forces (DDR) left Afghans vulnerable
Proposed Solutions
-
Constitutional Process: inclusive national constitution to ensure legitimacy and stability.
-
Western Neutrality: Stop blaming Afghans, whitewashing the Taliban, or funding them; support political expression and conditional aid.
-
