Our Missions

The people of Afghanistan are the victims of international terrorism and make personal and financial sacrifices every day. Afghanistan is a strategic partner of the international community in the ongoing war against international terrorism, and currently it has military and civilian presence in Afghanistan but the ongoing war in Afghanistan, political crisis, corruption, lawlessness, peace covert and overt efforts, vague attempts for the release of prisoners, drugs, threats to Islamic, civil and human rights are those things that not only causes concerns to every Afghan but affect the lives of all Afghans every day. In practice, problems are added by each passing day.
Over the past nineteen years all sections of Afghanistan have sacrificed their lives in the war against international terrorism and for the protection of democracy, national interests and human rights ??in Afghanistan. Religious scholars and clergies have raised their voices, senior security officials and soldiers have fought in frontlines and local people have revolted in villages. Judges, prosecutors and lawyers have served the justice, Afghan investors have invested in the economy, and the public have again and again supported the government, national political movements, civil society, intellectuals, and influential figures have always stood behind the government. But today when Afghanistan's national interests are ignored and threatened, their concerns are well-founded.

Over the past nineteen years, new political movements, civil and social movements and ideas have born in the country. Currently, there is no region and group of Afghanistan that is not financially and intellectually aligned with these new ideas and values. But now without consulting with the important layers of society in the peace process of Afghanistan such as; political parties, civil movements, women's rights groups, religious and spiritual figures and prominent figures in the community, ignoring Islamic values ??and the national interests of Afghans peace with the Taliban will not bring the desired outcome for both us and the international community. The peace agreement with the Taliban without strong international guarantees and not disrupting the financial resources of international terrorists has concerned the Afghans. The problem is that no one feels safe in Afghanistan anymore and Afghans have no political, military, economic, social, environmental protection. Our basic demand is that we want peace for all Afghans and this notion has forced the nation to form “The National Integration Movement of Afghanistan (NIMA)” to express their concerns through this address.
The movement brings together hundreds of current and retired generals from National Security Departments of Afghanistan, members from civil society, trade unions, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, community leaders, politicians and many others from different parts of the Afghan community. The National Integration Movement of Afghanistan (NIMA) had planned to hold a large gathering to protest its concerns in the ongoing peace process but due to the COVID19 PANDEMIC instructions from the Ministry of Public Health we have postponed the large gathering for right now and we will be gratified with a notice and this declaration. Not only we have objections to the Afghan government and the international community on the ongoing peace process but at the same time on behalf of different segments of the nation we have drafted a comprehensive political plan that can help both the Afghan government and the International Community. The plan is presented as follows:

1-We support inter-Afghan negotiations, but the national interest of Afghans must be preserved in the negotiations.

2-A permanent ceasefire between the government and the Taliban is needed to increase trust between the two sides of the conflict and pave the way for lasting peace.

3-Drugs in Afghanistan are a global phenomenon and a major financial source of international terrorism but local Afghans are its victims. We want this issue to be included in the inter-Afghan talks with the Taliban.

4-We want peace in Afghanistan but a peace that protects both the national interests of Afghans and eliminate the elements of terrorism that allows other terrorist groups to thrive.

5-The Taliban assured the Americans in the “Qatar Peace Agreement with Taliban” that Afghanistan's soil will not be used against the Americans, but we want assurances from the international community, especially from the United States and Britain that the soil of neighboring countries should not to be used against Afghanistan.

6-The people of Afghanistan especially the military, the judiciary, civil servants and academics who have fought against terrorism in Afghanistan for nineteen years, as a vital part of the Afghan society they should be included in after peace government and Afghan community need to benefit from their expertise about peace and governance.

7-We believe that Afghanistan's national interests can only be safeguarded (in a democratic system). We opposed any compromises on (democratic system) in peace negotiations.

8-We support the exchange of prisoners between the Taliban and the government but if the Taliban prisoners who are convicted of drug trafficking and terrorism are supposed to be released, then those prisoners who are convicted only for drug offenses should also be released.

9-Afghan military officers, prosecutors, judges, lawyers and civil servants have been involved in arresting and prosecuting of the Taliban prisoners who are supposed to be released in the peace agreement, the security of those military and civil servants of the government must be guaranteed.

10-Weapons are a major factor in war. Anyone who makes peace with the Afghan government should raise the issue of weapons collection. If left unchecked, there are fears that the weapons could fall into the hands of another militant group and the war could continue.

Note:
If the international community and the Afghan government take action against the national interests of Afghans the National Integration Movement of Afghanistan (NIMA) will continue to protests peacefully and will present its demands to international legal authorities.
Thanks.
The High Council of the (NIMA)
