H.E. President Hamed Karzai's Statement
 


General KhodaidadDrugs are not only a threat to the economy and security of the country, but, have a direct link to terrorism, disgraces Afghanistan on the international level, spreads into the afghan families like cancer and gradually destroys the lives of Afghan people.

In those parts of the country where they cultivate poppy, most of the people have been addicted and are gradually losing their lives.

If on one side, the foreign citizens are affected by our cultivation, on the other hand the Afghans are blistered in this fire as well.


Those who grow poppy should keep in mind that this poppy is going to kill their children.
We shouldn't let Afghanistan fall once again in the hands of terrorists and neighbors.

The holy religion of Islam is the religion of human savior, honor, peace, security and luck not the religion of aggression or destruction of humanity.

If we don’t stop drug production in our country, either the world or the poppy will demolish us, because for the past three years, some countries are warning that if we don’t stop poppy cultivation, they will spread chemicals over our poppy fields through air, however I will not allow such an act, but they are insisting since they can not find any other ways.

If any worker or citizen of this country commits a small negligence in preventing drug cultivation, in fact he punishes his own children. Because drug mafias are outside our country and they work for the destruction of our country. By doing this, they deposit a lot of money in the foreign banks. They get the benefit and we get the disgrace.

The money earned from drugs supports terrorism, our scholars and teachers are killed, our schools are closed, our clinics are burnt and our country and nation does not develop. Drugs jeopardize our Afghanhood, history and religious values. Therefore, it is our religious and national duty that; all the citizens of this country should save their country from the dark spots of disgrace and disrepute.


In the provinces, where the government is dominant, drug cultivation has reduced and the provinces where the government is less dominant, drug cultivation has increased.
The international mafias are involved in drug trafficking, not the Afghans. The Afghans are working day and night in order to eliminate poppy.
