A sort ofOn August 17, the Johns Hopkins University Covid19 dashboard for Afghanistan reported 101 new cases, with a 7-day average of 176. Since its peak on June 22, it has also shown a continuous downward trend. In the past few days, this positive development has not affected us, and we have not resolved the fact that the new Kabul interim government is not yet ready for vaccination. However, whether these data can be claimed to be meaningful in such a country is not a question.
In this regard, although there is indeed no plan in the past 18 months not to discuss this situation in an epic manner, the epidemiological situation in Afghanistan did not play a role in the “Meschberg” plan on Wednesday night. Not surprisingly. There are good reasons for this ignorance: things of global political importance are happening in Afghanistan, and the value of incidence is no longer a relevant issue.
Today, the worldview is collapsing, so the chaos associated with it may be inevitable. ZDF reporter Theo Koll expressed this when he called the collapse of the Afghanistan House of Cards a turning point. The Western world “not everywhere has the appeal that all of us think”.
Peaceful fantasy
Markus Feldenkirchen from Spiegel-Magazin immediately agreed with Margot Käsmann, former chairman of the EKD committee, 11 years later. “There is nothing good in Afghanistan,” she said in her New Year’s address in Dresden. By the way, she said at the time: “But weapons obviously cannot create peace in Afghanistan. We need more imagination of peace and a completely different way of handling conflict.” In this regard, one can assume that the country and the military of Afghanistan The self-destruction may be an imagination of peace.
On the contrary, it may contradict Käsmann’s original argument.Weapons create peace in Afghanistan, only those TalibanIn this regard, it is still questionable whether the self-confidence of the Protestant diocese will help us in the complex geopolitical constellation eleven years later. As Feldenkirchen said, Afghanistan has become a mission without any goals.

But this is a pious lie. In fact, not only in Germany, there is always one goal: to help Afghanistan gain a foothold. This is far more than just the drilling we are famous for. It affects the police, military, and secret service, as well as the education system or administrative structure.Hundreds of organizations around the world have expressed concern about this: United Nations Down to the smallest non-governmental organization.
It cannot be said that no one wants to achieve this goal. The shock is entirely due to people’s illusions that these legs have never existed in the past few days. In this relationship, Ms. Caseman and her critics encountered a pain point: doubting that her efforts were futile.
This broadcast is characteristic of our political attitude on the subject. Actually this is not about Afghanistan, but about ourselves. This is understandable. After all, we will soon have a federal election with public results. However, without these elections, it is questionable whether the situation will be different. Anna Schneider of the Welt newspaper pointed out that we can hardly assess “what this means in geopolitics.”
Opposition window display
But such a reminder also comes from Gregor Gissi (Left) or Norbert Röttgen (CDU) without any consequences. For us, the most important issue is what Cole euphemistically calls “management errors”, that is, how we treat our former Afghan employees. From early summer, the focus is on the window display of the opposition party. There, you asked the federal government to arrange the repatriation of these local workers in different terms.
