Afghanistan: Two lessons to be learnt from Taliban takeover – Fani-Kayode

Tobi Adebayo
A former Minister for Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has described the takeover of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan as a victory of evil over good.

Fani-Kayode said this in a series of tweets on Monday.

The Islamist organization had over the weekend taken over Kabul, the country’s capital, 20 years after the United States ousted them from power.

The President fled the country shortly after the takeover.

Reacting to the incident, Fani-Kayode tweeted: “20 years after the Americans drove the Taliban out of power in Afghanistan and after spending trillions of dollars to stop them from returning, the war against Islamist terror in that country has been lost. Kabul has finally fallen to the Taliban and the Afghan Pres. has fled out of the country. This is a victory of evil over good.

“The implications for millions of Afghans are obvious and the implications for the entire region and the international community are legion.

“As from today Islamist terrorist groups all over the world will have massive financial, logistical and moral support from a strong Islamist Government in Afghanistan. Apart from that, millions of Afghan men who refuse to accept the dictates of the Islamists and jihadists will be executed and millions of Afghan women and girls will be enslaved.

“Two lessons can be learnt from this. Firstly we must NEVER rely on the Americans or the international community to defend our nation from the terrorists that are ravaging our land and instead we must do it ourselves.

“Secondly, we must come together, unite, forget our differences & collectively fight and resist the scourge of Islamist terror that has plagued our land. May God NEVER allow Boko Haram, ISWAP, the foreign Fulani militias, or any other terrorist organization to fly their flag over our nation, take over our nation’s capital, defeat our Armed Forces and conquer Nigeria.”
