The plan went on so well that the Soviets were forced out on 15 February, 1989 and the Afghan government collapsed. But what resulted was anarchy until students, called the Taliban, seized power in September, 1996. The Taliban, led by their teacher, Mullah Mohammed Omar, a pious gentleman had been an Afghan Mujahideen general.

In 2012, the US Central Intelligence Agency Director, David Petraeus, under the directive of President Barack Obama, trained thousands of AQI members, now renamed Islamic State , to invade Syria whose government was perceived as communist and a stooge of Russia. The Islamic State added Syria to its name and became known as ISIS.

Another scourge we are forced to live with is the Israeli State. Its gallant armed forces which scored unparalleled success in world history by pitilessly fighting hospitals, scored another spectacular victory this Easter Monday, 1 April. On that day, a clearly marked three-vehicle aid convoy run by the World Central Kitchen, WCK, was on a “deconflicted zone” dropping off food supplies with the consent of the Israeli military, which also coordinated the convoy’s movements.

The obvious intention of Israel is to halt humanitarian aid to the starving Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has largely succeeded, as the WCK has suspended all aid. The United Nations has also suspended its own aid programme for 48 hours. All these fit perfectly into the policy announced by Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, who declared: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed.
