concerning the true situation in our region, the true situation on our borders and in our country. They have even betrayed their own friends and allies bv providing them with propaganda instead of information, resulting in policies that have complicated the situation in my country. Given true Political will, this situation would not be very difficult to resolve. I have referred to what happened in Jalalabad and, recently, in Kabul. Let me briefly add this: What saved the day in Jalalabad was the Afghan nation - the Afghan nation as a whole. Only a small number of extremists in the service of the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) decided to open fire on their brethren. Even many commanders inside Afghanistan refused to do that; they refused to obey the orders issued by the Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence. What saved the day was the valour, decisiveness and unity of a nation which is 5,000 years old. I should like to ask the representative of Pakistan this: where were these military circles in Pakistan when we defeated colonialism in our region, for the first time, and provided a good example far other nations to rise up for their rights? The representative of Pakistan arrogated to himself the right to speak some very slanderous words about this proud nation with a very long history and civilization. I want to remind the representative of Pakistan that the people of this nation are at one in their desire to develop their country, to have at their disposal all the possibilities of a modern country. Pakistan cannot impose on Afghanistan a return to the Dark Ages. I believe that all my compatriots throughout the world - in Western Europe, here in the United States of America, and elsewhere - will not allow Pakistan to impose on Afghanistan a return to the Dark Ages.
