Wenn wir den Feind zurückdrängen wollen, ist Geschwindigkeit entscheidend. Wir werden den Amerikanern anbieten, uns einige ihrer alten Humvees zu verkaufen."
 AFG_fuel_for_economy: "Treibstoff für unsere Wirtschaft"

 AFG_building_society: "Rebuild our Society"
 AFG_building_society_desc: "Most of our budget went towards our troops during the war. Now that we no longer have to deal with the Taliban threat, the United Nations has requested that we focus efforts on our society and taking care of the people."

 AFG_tribes_or_cities_desc: "The stark contrast between tribal and modernisation politics has always been a part of the political process in Afghanistan, and it is a problem that simply cannot be avoided in building a modern Afghanistan. We must choose carefully whether to stick to the old ways or adopt a more modern system."

 AFG_the_mountains_desc: "The tribes are the backbone of Afghanistan, we cannot risk losing our stability and national identity in favour of encouraging the growth of international capital."

 AFG_the_tribal_leaders: "Empower Tribal Leaders"
 AFG_the_tribal_leaders_desc: "In our nation's history the discourse between tribes and the central government has always led to a cycle of national unrest then foreign intervention or invasion. By including the tribal leaders in government, we will not make the same mistake again."
 AFG_the_towns: "Develop Urban Areas"
 AFG_the_towns_desc: "To modernise the country, it is necessary to develop more in the urban areas, starting in the towns. This will surely alienate the tribes but as long as the central government is functioning, everything will be under control."
 AFG_the_cities: "Develop The Cities"
 AFG_the_cities_desc: "Our cities have a lot of potential for development after decades of war, some of the damaged buildings can be renovated and converted to factories to better serve the citizens' needs."
 AFG_the_capital: "Develop Kabul"
 AFG_the_capital_desc: "In the middle of the 20th century, Kabul was a vacation resort, however, decades of war have caused the city to fall into ruin. Rebuilding and modernising Kabul will not only restore its prosperity, but highlight the authority of the central government."
 AFG_getting_running_water: "Get Running Water"
 AFG_getting_running_water_desc: "Afghanistan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and our fellow Afghans have suffered far too much from not being able to get access to clean water.

 AFG_aspiring_nato: "Become Major Non-NATO Ally"
 AFG_aspiring_nato_desc: "Our country's geographic location makes official NATO membership highly unlikely, but we can become a major non-NATO ally. Doing so has the opportunity to gain a variety of military and financial advantages not available to non-NATO countries from the United States."
 AFG_emerging: "Approach the East"
 AFG_emerging_desc: "The Western countries often fail to keep their word when dealing with Third World nations, and in the past, cooperation with them has resulted in subjugation and exploitation of our citizens by the West's capitalist class. This exploitation will only profit a few oligarchs. There are many new opportunities for cooperation with the emerging countries of the East, such as China and Russia."
 AFG_seek_american_protection: "Seek American Protection"
 AFG_seek_american_protection_desc: "The U.S. is the most powerful military force in the world, and given our unique strategic geographic location surrounded by powerful nations, seeking U.S. protection would not only ensure our protection from foreign invasion, but would also provide help in maintaining the country's internal stability."
 AFG_monarchy: "Return of the Barakzai Dynasty"
 AFG_monarchy_desc: "Former Prime Minister Mohammed Daoud Khan made a mistake by overthrowing his cousin, King Mohammed Zahir Shah, and establishing a republican dictatorship.

 AFG_prepare_the_king: "Prepare for the King's Return"
 AFG_prepare_the_king_desc: "Our beloved former king, Mohammed Zahir Shah, still has family living in exile in Italy, it's time to prepare for them to return to Afghanistan to rule over our country as a kingdom once more."

 AFG_restore_the_constitution_desc: "The 1964 constitution is characterised by the embodiment of modern democracy; parliamentary elections, women's rights and civil rights. Importantly, it ensures that the monarchy stays on the throne. We need to restore this constitution in order to bring our kingdom back to its former glory."
 AFG_pro_establishment: "Hezb-i Islami Coup"
 AFG_pro_establishment_desc: "It's time to bring Afghanistan under centralised Pashtun Islamic rule! The tribal wars have affected the modernization and stability of our state. The West has abandoned us and the Eastern powers seek to destroy us. We will work hard to bring Afghanistan under Islamic rule once and for all."
 AFG_bring_military_to_our_side: "Bring Military to our Side"
 AFG_bring_military_to_our_side_desc: "Our military is tasked with guarding our nation and maintaining stability within the country. However, due to the high level of corruption under the previous administration and frequent withholding of military payroll by top officials, the military is skeptical of the new regime. It is imperative that we address this issue to ensure the stability of our new regime."
 AFG_secure_the_power: "Consolidate our Power"
 AFG_secure_the_power_desc: "Now that we have the military on our side, it's time to build up the police force to stabilise the nation and deploy them along with our military to eliminate the tribal influence, and reach our ultimate goal of a strong, centralised, Pashtun-dominated Islamic government."

 AFG_request_chinese_protection: "Request Chinese Protection"
 AFG_request_chinese_protection_desc: "China is our neighbour, but has never had any intention of occupying or subjugating us. Both of us share the same concerns regarding internal security.

 AFG_internal_policy_desc: "Now with our country stabilised, we must determine what course we will take."
 AFG_aggresive_foreign_policy: "Aggressive Foreign Policy"
 AFG_aggresive_foreign_policy_desc: "As the saying goes, offence is the best defence. The reason our country has always been invaded by foreign empires throughout history is that we have always adopted a policy of passive defence. We have to be aggressive to prevent history from repeating itself."
 AFG_isolism: "Defensive Foreign Policy"
 AFG_isolism_desc: "Although Afghanistan was once a historically strong nation and defeated two former superpowers, it is undeniable that Afghanistan is not a regional power in contemporary times, however. The welfare of the people is the number one priority of this government. We can adopt a policy of active defence diplomatically to avoid another foreign intervention or invasion of the country."
 AFG_increased_mobilization: "Increase Conscription"
 AFG_increased_mobilization_desc: "Our country is surrounded by strong enemies, yet our citizens are not ready to fight, and we must implement conscription to ensure the readiness of our citizens for war."
 AFG_eyes_on_pakistan: "Publically Denounce Durrani Line"
 AFG_eyes_on_pakistan_desc: "The Durand Line set out by the British in the 20th century is a disgrace and an insult to our country, it leaves most of our Pashtun brothers living within the borders of Pakistan, a country that we believe should not exist. We will never recognize the Durand Line, nor will we forget the decades of suffering that Pakistan has historically inflicted on our people."
 AFG_defending_our_borders: "Defend our Borders"
 AFG_defending_our_borders_desc: "Although our country is following strict neutral diplomacy, not every country around us is stable and as such, we cannot become complacent. As part of an active defence doctrine, we will build defensive structures on our border with Pakistan."
 AFG_leg_infantry: "Improve our Infantry"
 AFG_leg_infantry_desc: "Our weapons in the past were mainly obtained from neighbouring and regional powers, and our soldiers primarily infantry-based. Although re-equipping our soldiers can be postponed, our weapons are seriously lacking for contemporary times; we need to renovate our infantry weapons."
 AFG_afghan_sof: "Special Forces Focus"
 AFG_afghan_sof_desc: "In the 21st century, special forces are often the first units to enter the battlefield and the last to be pulled out of it. They are tasked with the most difficult but unappreciated missions, including reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, disaster relief, etc. We should develop these units."
 AFG_mobile_units: "Focus on Mobile Units"

 AFG_preparing_invasion: "Prepare for War"
 AFG_preparing_invasion_desc: "In order to recover Pashtunistan, which is rightfully ours, we must begin preparations for war. Pakistan will not be an easy enemy to deal with."

 AFG_invade_pakistan_desc: "The time has come, it is time to liberate our fellow Pashtuns from the tyrannical rule of Pakistan."
 AFG_armoured_units: "Develop our Armoured Units"
 AFG_armoured_units_desc: "A modern army is not an effective fighting force without a decent armoured unit. We have had tanks in past wars that have thankfully suffered only minor damage, blown tracks and other easily repairable problems. We can have those tanks repaired while developing a domestic tank design to assemble an effective armoured corps."
 AFG_defensive_army: "A Defensive Army"
 AFG_defensive_army_desc: "Our national situation does not allow us to spend too much of our budget on the military, yet in many cases the combat effectiveness of the military does not depend on the modernity of weapons or numbers, as evidenced by our past efforts to oust the Soviets and the British. We can improve the combat effectiveness of our military without overspending on the military by teaching defensive tactics."
 AFG_army_engineer_school: "Army Engineer School"
 AFG_army_engineer_school_desc: "In improving the combat effectiveness of our officers and enlisted men, it is important to have military academies to teach our future officers. With tenured veterans as professors, the government is confident that our future officers will lead our army to success."
 AFG_homeguard: "The Homeguard"
 AFG_homeguard_desc: "In the view of the military command, the regular army alone is not enough to effectively defend our country. Fortunately our unique geography allows us to train militia units, experts in mountain warfare. These militia members usually live normal civilian lives but will receive regular military training, and will be able to quickly engage in combat to defend our country in the event of a foreign invasion."
 AFG_the_swiss_way: "The Switzerland Way"
 AFG_the_swiss_way_desc: "Afghanistan was at its most peaceful and stable in the middle of the last century and was called the \"Switzerland of the Middle East\" at the time. We should try to restore this historical status. Our geography is somewhat similar to Switzerland's, and the government thinks we can learn from Switzerland in building fortifications around key points in the nation."
 AFG_superior_firepower: "Superior Firepower"
 AFG_superior_firepower_desc: "For some countries, pure military strength would dissuade an attacker from mounting a costly invasion. We should invest in the superior firepower doctrine so as to most effectively defend our borders."

 AFG_fight_corruption: "Fight Government Corruption"
 AFG_fight_corruption_desc: "The key to gaining the peoples' trust is for our government to tackle the endemic corruption in the nation. It's important the people know that our government serves the people's interests, not the interests of the powerful and noble class."
 AFG_decentralization: "Decentralisation"
 AFG_decentralization_desc: "One of the key points of the Jamiat-e Islami agenda is decentralisation, Ahmad Shah Massoud has stated that power relations within Afghanistan should follow the Swiss model, effectively creating a decentralised government and a devolution of power from Kabul. This will allow the country's provinces to distribute resources and power more efficiently, bringing prosperity and stability to the country as a whole."
 AFG_jamiate_islami: "The Swiss Political Model"
 AFG_jamiate_islami_desc: "We have reformed our government structure and the people's support is definitively behind these plans. It is time to begin a new era for Afghanistan."
 AFG_authortarian: "Junbish-i-Milli Government"
 AFG_authortarian_desc: "Junbish-i-Milli is a big-tent populist party with the military leader Abdul Rashid Dostum at its helm. It aims to promote secularism, protect Afghan, Turkmen, and Uzbek interests, and restore the prosperity we had last century under republican rule. Dostum will surely lead the country to a new era."
 AFG_helping_our_friends: "Political Purges"
 AFG_helping_our_friends_desc: "Although we have taken power, some of our former allies pose a great threat to the central government's authority. We must purge them from their positions and those loyal to us will be placed in their stead."
 AFG_secularism_campaign: "Secularisation Campaign"
 AFG_secularism_campaign_desc: "One of the key points in Dostum's agenda is to separate religion from politics; this move seeks to increase the power of the central government and sideline the mullahs from politics. This will surely spark anger in some religious communities but we will counter that via several means."
 AFG_junbishi_milli: "Restore Secular Republic"
 AFG_junbishi_milli_desc: "Under the republican government of the last century, Afghanistan was able to modernise quickly and women were emancipated, able to participate equally in Afghan society. The republican way of governance has proved that Afghanistan can, in fact, leave the outdated customs behind and modernise the country."
 AFG_pro_western: "Pro-Western Independents"
 AFG_pro_western_desc: "Supported by the West, an independent government will almost certainly lean towards the West and maintain a status-quo within the region."
 AFG_supported_by_west: "Western Support"
 AFG_supported_by_west_desc: "Our government currently lacks the support of the people because of corruption within it. We need to protect our ruling elites from the wrath of the people, and since we align towards the West, the West will surely support us, including pressuring the opposition to form a coalition."
 AFG_increase_opium_trade: "Secretly Support Opium Industry"
 AFG_increase_opium_trade_desc: "Despite our public announcement of our intention of tackling the opium issue, we can secretly support the opium industry by doing nothing about it and even guard the poppy fields with some plain-clothes policemen. We will likely get some political contributions in return from the opium barons."
 AFG_afghan_independents: "Enable Kleptocracy"
 AFG_afghan_independents_desc: "Change? Who needs change? We have the West to aid us and the situation will improve as planned."

 AFG_invite_fatemiyoun: "Call Upon Fatemiyoun"
 AFG_invite_fatemiyoun_desc: "The Fatemiyoun Division was raised from Afghan Shia volunteers and trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Calling its veterans home would put battle-hardened fighters at Khalili's disposal, provided Tehran agrees to arm them."
 AFG_join_axis_of_resistance: "Axis of Resistance"
 AFG_join_axis_of_resistance_desc: "Tehran leads a network of allied movements across the region, and a Shia government in Kabul belongs in it. Formally aligning our clergy with the Iranian model would end Sunni primacy in the state and bind our defence to Iran's."
 AFG_declare_hazaristan: "Declare Hazaristan"
 AFG_declare_hazaristan_desc: "The Hazara have been the hunted minority of every Afghan regime for a century. Proclaiming Hazaristan renames the state after them and settles the question of who Afghanistan now belongs to."
 AFG_remain_neutral: "Path of Neutrality"

 GULBUDDIN_HEKMATYAR_DESC: "Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is an Afghan politician and former mujahideen leader. He is the founder and leader of the Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin political party, so called after Mohammad Yunus Khalis split from Hezb-e Islami in 1979 to found Hezb-i Islami Khalis. He served as Prime Minister twice during the 1990s. Hekmatyar joined the Muslim Youth organization as a student in the early 1970s, where he was known for his Islamic radicalism rejected by much of the organization.\n\nHe spent time in Pakistan before returning to Afghanistan when the Soviet–Afghan War began in 1979, at which time the CIA began funding his rapidly growing Hezb-e Islami organization through the Pakistani intelligence service, ISI, one of the largest of the Afghan mujahideen. He received more CIA funding than any other mujahideen leader during the Soviet-Afghan War.\n\nFollowing the ouster of Soviet-backed Afghan President Mohammad Najibullah in 1992, Hekmatyar declined to form part of the new government and, with other warlords, engaged in the Afghan civil war, leading to the death of around 50,000 civilians in Kabul alone. Hekmatyar was accused of bearing the most responsibility for the rocket attacks on the city. In the meantime, as part of the peace and power-sharing efforts led by Ahmad Shah Massoud, Hekmatyar became Prime Minister of Afghanistan from 1993 to 1994 and again briefly from 1996 to 1997."

In the 1950s, Zahir Shah began modernising the country, culminating in the creation of a new constitution and a constitutional monarchy system. Demonstrating nonpartisanship, his long reign was marked by peace in the country that was lost afterwards.\n\nIn 1973, while Zahir Shah was undergoing medical treatment in Italy, his regime was overthrown in a coup d'etat by his cousin and former prime minister, Mohammed Daoud Khan, who established a single-party republic, ending more than 225 years of continuous monarchical government.\n\nZahir Shah is the best suiting candidate to revive a monarchist Afghanistan and to prolong his family's claim to the throne."

Several commandos sadly died as a result.\n\nIn debriefing, some military generals suspect that there may have been sympathisers within the organisers of the operation who could have leaked the plan to the Taliban, the debriefing report also criticised corruption from the government that may have led to the loss of the commandos' lives.
