If you were president

[faye]

if i knew the president of afghanistan, i would suggest he/she get advice from mahatir of malaysia and other leaders of successfully developing muslim countries. i would suggest that afghanistan try to work with them and encourage investments from their companies. i would suggest to try to stay independent in banking. libya had that organised.

[IamDZJ]

it would be a dictatorship for me not a presidency. people are very good with theories of how a goverment should be run but they suck at applying it in practice...i would probably have the same rules except the public prosecutions where offenders will be barbecued one by one regardless of how minor the crimes have been.
yeah, i don't think i would do too well with power so i will skip on the opportunity.

mahatir of malaysia ...........verl wl said

[Amir al Ghaznavi]

If I was President of Afghanistan, I would enact the following policies

1. Meet with the Pakistani military and intelligence leaders, and agree to a strategic agreement and understanding with them so we can have clarity on our partnership.

The basis of this agreement would be as follows:

- No support from Afghanistan for any nationalist or criminal elements of Pakistan
- Renouncing any and all land claims east of the Durand
- Elimination of any relations with India outside of strict economic trade, which must be security sensitive, to re assure our Pakistani neighbours

- In return, Pakistan agrees to ending any and all support for any anti Afghan elements
- Co operation on drug trafikking and ending the black market economy of the Pashtun tribal border areas
- Co operation in repatriating all Afghan refugess
- Possible Free trade agreement, depending on its economic feasibility

2) In exchange for legal immunity and maintaining their economic positions, all warlords/narcos/new elite are subject to a 50% tax on all their assets and resources

3) I would change the name of Afghanistan to Ariana

4) I would declare the state to be an Islamic Emirate, with me as the Emir

5) I would take down all pictures of Massoud from Kabul and any govt institution anywhere in the country.

6) I would build statues, masoleums and squares to honour all of our heroes from all backgrounds and eras. This will educate the people on our rich history and identity

7) For administrative purposes, I would divide the country into 10 provinces.

- Helmand (Helmand, Farah, Nimruz)
- Herat (Herat, Badghis)
- Balkh (Balkh, Jowzjan, Samangan, Sor E Pol, etc)
- Bamian (Dey Kundi, Bamian, Ghor)
- Badakhshan (Qunduz, Badakhshan, Takhar, Parwan, Panjsher etc)
- Nangarhar (Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar, Nuristan)
- Ghazni (Ghazni, Maidan Wardak, Logar)
- Paktia (Paktia, Paktika, Khost)
- Kandahar (Kandahar, Uruzgan, Zabul)
- Kabul

Economic development would be conducted on a regional basis, with the focus on developing the main city centre within each of those regions. The idea, is to increase the urbanization of the country by focusing on 10 regional capitals.

8) Education would be divided into Primary, Secondary and Post Secondary. The quality and availability of all levels of education would be equal between Pashto and Farsi. Every region would have a Pashto and Farsi school (P,S,PS). Uzbeki, Pashai, Nuristani, Baloch etc would be available as courses in their respective areas.

9) I would reform the education system to emphasize science, math and i.t. English would be a mode of instruction in both the Farsi and Pashto universities

10) I would create dozens of technical schools across the country, so our people can be trained in trades like plumbing, landscaping, electrician etc to help rebuild the nation

11) Massive infrastructure development in all the urban centres, with a focus on Kabul. This means hundreds of thousands of new homes, corresponding roads, a sewage system, fully accessibly electricity etc

12) Kabul would be a fully bilingual province. Federal jobs are only open to bilingual individuals.

13) I would conclude a Strategic partnership agreement with Iran, whereby we cooperate closely on repatriating Afghan refugees, cooperate on ending the drug trade, pledge full non interference with one another, cooperate on cultural exchanges, and pledge to never allow an external power to use our soil against Iran

14) I would declare Ariana to be 100% neutral in all capacities, and pledge complete non interference in all neighbours affairs. I would withdraw the nation from any security pacts.

15) I would disband the Afghan army, and shift it away from a standing conventional army, to a strictly defensive guerilla army. I would keep a token air force and tanks/artillery for domestic security purposes. But I would remove any offensive capabilities of our army to re assure our neighbours. Instead I would raise a 40,000 guerilla army, with 100,000 reservists, broken down into small units, that would be exclusively trained to engage in guerilla warfare against an occupying force (shouldnt be hard). This would be much cheaper to maintain than a modern conventional army that requires much greater resources and logistics

16) I would cut the number of security forces and govt employees (civil servants, teachers etc) drastically, retain the quality ones, and double their pay.

17) No foreign soldiers on our soil whatsoever

18) Automatic death penalty for any murder, treason or rape

19) I would incorporate all ulema and madrassahs under strict state supervision

20) Sign deals with corporations to begin work on our natural resources, but ensuring that local development and training of Afghans in engineering, excavation etc so we retain control of our resources


I would reign for 15 years or so to ensure the foundation is set. Then I would allow for the formation of federal and regional political parties, while remaining as head of state in a ceremonial manner

you will probably get shot before bowing down to pakistan on Afghanistan's behalf.

2) In exchange for legal immunity and maintaining their economic positions, all warlords/narcos/new elite are subject to a 50% tax on all their assets and resources

sounds good/but i would make 100%

3) I would change the name of Afghanistan to Ariana

Dream on kid

4) I would declare the state to be an Islamic Emirate, with me as the Emir

an agnostic muslim state?LOL

5) I would take down all pictures of Massoud from Kabul and any govt institution anywhere in the country.

goood

6) I would build statues, masoleums and squares to honour all of our heroes from all backgrounds and eras. This will educate the people on our rich history and identity

statues are forbidden in islam so what kind of Islamic emirate are we talking about amir saheb

doesnt make sense

Exactly amir saab

Impossible first thing an Islamic republic will do is unite with fellow muslim countries especially sunni former russian satelites and pakistan.

almost blasphemous!!!

20) Sign deals with corporations to begin work on our natural resources, but ensuring that local development and training of Afghans in engineering, excavation etc so we retain control of our resources

= will think about it

I would change the name of Afghanistan to Ariana ......... mara walay

you must be confused. you didnt read the part where I said this was an Islamic Emirate, not a democracy.

You can go along with the plan, or you can spend the next 5 yrs in Pol E Charkhi

[Amir al Ghaznavi]

Our country needs a new beginning and a fresh slate. Afghanistan is synonomous with backwardness, war, rape, refugees, terrorism etc

Our glorious past offers much in the way of inspiration

[Amir al Ghaznavi]

21. I would ban 90% of the ngos in the country

22. Every household has a choice: Son in school or a son in the army

23. I would build residences for all the orphans and widows and prostitutes on the streets of Kabul. It is beneath us as a people to beg.

24. Head coverings in the country are mandatory, burqas optional

25. I would have an ombudsman for each region and at the federal level. These officials would be independent of govt, and in charge of ensuring no corruption

[Alchemist]

My first act as president would be declare the very same electoral process that put me in power as ineffective and illegitimate. All technocrats and politicians will be stripped of their titles and the trickle down system build by the international colonialist dismantled. Leaving only the corporations, the militias, warlords and gangs and foreign forces.

All foreign occupation forces will be declared as enemy to the nation and a scourge and a cancer. And it will be duty of every native to fight to the last breath against them.

Thus I will abolish all trace of the current existing government by disbanding the national army which has been trained by the occupying forces and used only to put brother against brother.

I will then declare that Afghanistan refuses to recognize or respect any of it's boarders, especially it's boarders with Pakistan. And that any tax levied on any Afghan businessman by any state will be responded by a bullet per dollar taxed. (An idle threat given that I won't have any forces to coordinate against). I will demand access to the Indian ocean...and if ISI or CIA or whatever get's in the way, then I will urge all the millions of afghans to march on ...with pickets, axes and bats.

The resolution of my administration will be to act without any foreign assistance of any kind towards the betterment of the living standards of the Afghan individual. The aid of any organization or institution will be accepted on the terms that their agenda be transparent and the that they work in tandem with Locals.

I will then take whatever resources that were wasted on "Security" and spend it on organizing a peaceful coalition that will consist of professionals abroad and at home to spread a doctrine of peace based on neighbourly love. Rather than form urban pockets, I will fast forward the state of the Afghans by giving every Afghan family one laptop and a computer. Then I will form a distinct Afghan computer network that will synchronize all nationals and transcend the limits of "time and space" ...thus connecting every Afghan regardless of where in the world they be. Thus, instead of spending resources on centralizing urban centres, every village can be it's own centre. And employing the latest of technologies in providing limitless energy, I will ensure that every village and niche will be self sufficient towards its own needs. Learning centres, such as universities and colleges and even madrassas will act as places of community involvement.

All natural resources will be nationalized! There will be no privatization of even telecommunication or electrical utilities or forestry and especially mining.
Anyone caught poaching wildlife or celling historic artefacts will have their hands chopped off.
Banks as an institution will be abolished. There is no such thing as an "Islamic Bank".

I am sure ..right after I make this declaration I ll be shot dead...

you pull this, and we;ll be somalia status

[faye]

illogical, alchemist. your first act will make you illegitimate as a president and you would then become a dictator. automatically dismantling the army is what america did in iraq and puts many people out of work who have military training and the anger to take you down.
third policy will like put you at war with pakistan and leave afghanistan too busy fighting, once again, for you, the dictator, to be able to implement the rest of your plans.

[Alchemist]

Yeah, you are illogical faye...

How am I an dictator if I don't have an army? How am I going to enforce or dictate my laws?

The US dispatched Hussain's Army and then put in place their own army...which enlisted the old army.

And in case you didn't hear the news...pakistan has been warring against afghanistan already.


And Yes Amir ul Harem...

In case you haven't heard..somalia is called the new afghanistan lol
run a google search.
