This pup - presenting Ziaul-Haq's solo role as "military advisor" (completely criminal role let's be clear) as Pak state policy - is Yusuf, on his dozenth anon account. He's a cheerleader of CIA puppet Amrullah Saleh +out-&-out liar who spoke rather too freely to me some yrs back https://twitter.com/Afgansty/status/1247423307714039809
I have no problem with Afghans bitter at Pak - in many cases it's justified - but Yusuf is a lying pup who likes to pretend that hatred of Pakistan has something to do with Islam and regularly twists history (the real history of 1970 and Zia's wicked role therein is a diff story)
this is latest of many attempts Yusuf has made to circulate this ridiculous claim, based off universalizing Zia's (let's be clear wrongful but entirely individual) support of Hussein in 1970-71. It's only line he has apart from long-debunked Northern Alliance propaganda from 1995
Now being critical of Pakistan is fine, and being bad at history is fine. problem is that Yusuf, who squeals about Brit-Am links to Pak, is a throaty cheerleader not only of Brit-Am war in Afghanistan but IN PARTICULAR the KHAD-inherited spymaster Amrullah Saleh, a CIA protege
So he's not only a liar, he's a hypocritical liar (hypocrite in the non-religious sense of the word I mean). He belongs to the KHAD/NDS brand of Kabul nationalists who in their attempt to pose as nationalists despite being 20-y long clients of the United States square circle by
focusing every criticism - rightly but often, as in this case, wrongly - on Pakistan. It's esp ironic b/c Yusuf also claims to be a fan of Shah Masud, Ata Noor, Abdul-Qadir Zabihullah, and other 1980s mujahideen who were mostly supported to the teeth by Zia in particular in 1980s
Again, I had a pleasant convo with him in 2016 - I regret being so polite to a brat who is clearly a beghairat liar with the moral fibre of a child-trafficking prostitute, but the plus side was that he spoke rather too freely to me and I managed to suss out his agenda.
He's basically Afghan equivalent of the Pak ultranationalist who blames everything on "namak haram Afghans" - except in his case its even more ironic cos he talks abt Pak being a puppet yet is a full-throated cheerleader for worst segments in a 20-y occupation of his own country.
it's also funny because Saleh, of whom Yusuf is such a fan, is not only a protégé of CIA but racked up the Afghan secret service (NDS) with veterans of Soviet-spawned KHAD (b/c they were seen as useful in fighting Taliban, and b/c both shared links with Indian intelligence)
So he is a fan of the same man who was quite willing to sell out Masoud/Zabihullah etc's resistance against Soviets by stacking the Afghan security with the Soviets' proteges - first propped up by KHAD then by CIA, and with RAW playing the intermediary role. Shabash
I wouldn't normally waste any breath on this pup, but he has made the same claim on diff accounts and it's important to realize it's the same beghairat pup doing it. It's neither an accurate reflection of history nor of his Afg countrymen, even those critical of Pakistan.
nicest thing I can say about Yusuf here is that he is successful in imitating his aqa Amrullah Saleh - i.e. making up for his lack of ghairat for Afghanistan with a hatred of Pakistan that's esp ironic given Saleh's own massive links to foreign (non-Afg) intel agencies
