Afghan Questions

The international community views the national reconciliation process in Afghanistan as a bold political experiment that can have a most beneficial impact on the elimination of regional conflicts throughout the world. It is not by chance that this innovative initiative is already being supported and continued by the revolutionary government of Nicaragua, along whose borders an undeclared war has been waged for many years now by the "Contras" financed by the United States. As M. S. Gorbachev, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, stated in his Declaration on Afghanistan, "this is an expression of new political thought on the Afghan side." This is also an opportunity to demonstrate our good will to the great powers whose governments and peoples bear special responsibility for the elimination and prevention of dangerous hotbeds of tension on earth.
