Facilitators of the National Dialogue

At the outset of the National Dialogue, Mili Mehwar has taken on the responsibility for the technical, logistical, and financial organisation of this process. However, with the commencement of the Dialogue, efforts will be made to establish a strong Secretariat to handle these tasks moving forward. Mili Mehwar is committed to initiating this process with utmost sincerity and impartiality, and as long as Mili Mehwar’s support is needed, it will spare no effort or resources. For your reassurance, we are sharing a brief introduction of Mili Mehwar with you.

A Stronghold for National Interests and Values

The Necessity of Mili Mehwar

For decades, Afghanistan has been caught in an endless cycle of war, crisis, corruption, and division. Hope seemed distant, and no unified force emerged to steer the nation toward liberation. While many of our compatriots engaged in civil and cultural initiatives, it became clear that Afghanistan’s fundamental challenge was political—and that political problems require political solutions backed by real power.

Unfortunately, political authority rested in the hands of those who prioritized personal, organizational, and ethnic interests over the nation’s well-being. Afghanistan’s destiny remained at the mercy of corrupt and self-serving forces. We realized that unless honest and capable individuals stepped forward, the country would remain trapped in turmoil. The absence of strong national institutions only deepened this crisis.

In developed nations, politics is managed by professionals and policymakers. In Afghanistan, however, politics dictates every aspect of life—our security, economy, dignity, and independence. This makes political engagement not just a choice but a moral, national, and even religious obligation.

It was no longer acceptable for power to remain in the hands of corrupt actors who neither represented the people nor safeguarded national interests. With this conviction, we—alongside a group of like-minded patriots—stepped into the political arena, determined to establish a movement that would stand firm for Afghanistan’s national identity, independence, dignity, and prosperity. Thus, Mili Mehwar was born—a political stronghold built on principles rather than personal ambition, dedicated to the greater good of the Afghan people.

Our Journey: From Social Reform to Political Leadership

Our struggle began 15 years ago under the name “Wise Afghan”, a social reform movement focused on enlightening society and fighting against ignorance, corruption, and division. Over time, two other youth-led initiatives, Wise Youth and Today’s Youth Civil Society, joined our cause, leading to the formation of the Afghan National Movement. This movement became a platform for advocating peace, social justice, independence, and democracy, organizing significant protests, campaigns, and conferences across the country. However, we soon recognized that Afghanistan needed more than just activism it required a national political party capable of leading the country toward a stable future. In 1395 (solar calendar), we held our first congress and officially established Mili Mehwar as a political party committed to Afghanistan’s national interests and values.

What Makes Mili Mehwar Different?

While many political parties exist in Afghanistan, Mili Mehwar stands apart through its guiding principles:

A Movement of Ideas, Not Personal Gain – Unlike parties built around individuals seeking power, Mili Mehwar is founded on principles, values, and national unity.
Long-Term Vision, Not Short-Term Politics – Where others focus on opportunistic gains, we invest in sustainable and strategic nation-building efforts.
Collective Leadership, Not Personality Cults – Many parties revolve around a single figure; we believe in teamwork, organizational strength, and shared responsibility.
National Unity, Not Division – We reject ethnic, regional, or sectarian agendas. Our mission is to unite all Afghans under a shared national identity.
People Over Power – While other parties seek power, we seek to empower the people to be their voice, to hold leaders accountable, and to champion solutions that benefit the entire nation.

Even as idealism and values-based politics decline in Afghanistan, we remain steadfast. We know that true change requires patience, dedication, and sacrifice. When the republic collapsed, many political parties vanished but Mili Mehwar not only survived, it expanded.

A Nationwide Movement: Strength in Unity

Today, Mili Mehwar has an active presence across Afghanistan, with branches in multiple provinces and representatives from all walks of life. The majority of our members are young professionals, but our movement includes individuals of all generations.

Women play a significant role in Mili Mehwar, with dedicated branches focused on female leadership. Additionally, our party has established strong international networks in the UK, Germany, the USA, and Canada. Given the risks of political activism inside Afghanistan, many of our external members work to amplify our message on the global stage.

The Khushal Baba Intellectual Movement

In 1392, we launched the Khushal Baba Intellectual Movement—an academic and educational initiative designed to promote awareness, national consciousness, and intellectual development among Afghan youth. This movement has since expanded, organizing hundreds of seminars, conferences, workshops, and educational programs to foster a spirit of enlightenment and civic responsibility.

Our Vision: A Dignified Afghanistan

At the heart of Mili Mehwar is a commitment to human, Islamic, and Afghan values. We believe that democracy is the best system for representing the national will, and our hope is to see an Afghanistan where:

The people decide their political destiny.
Dignity and peace replace fear and oppression.
No Afghan is forced to flee their homeland.
Every citizen—regardless of gender, ethnicity, language, or faith feels a sense of belonging and ownership.
Fundamental human rights, tolerance, and national unity prevail over division and despair.

Our Political Strategy: A Path to Change

We do not expect our aspirations to materialize under the Taliban, as they have consistently rejected democracy, civil liberties, and modern progress. However, we believe that through peaceful civil resistance and strategic political engagement, we can push for reforms and pave the way for a national alternative.

To achieve this, we must work on four parallel fronts:

Long-Term Party Building – Afghanistan needs strong, sustainable national parties that offer a genuine political alternative. We must invest in institutional development and coalition-building.
Short-Term Unity for Change – National, democratic, and peace-loving forces must coordinate efforts and form a broad political alliance with clear goals and mechanisms.
National Dialogue – A comprehensive and inclusive dialogue is essential to achieving political stability and lasting peace. This must start among national forces before expanding to all sectors of society.
Reviving National Values – Decades of war have eroded patriotism, responsibility, and trust. We must restore national integrity, honesty, and unity to counteract the culture of indifference and opportunism.

Our Resolve: Building the Future Together

A common question we hear is: Can Mili Mehwar fill the void of a major national party?

The answer is yes but not alone. We have the principles, the vision, and the committed leadership. But true success depends on you on every Afghan who refuses to accept a broken system and dares to fight for a better future.

Challenges remain:

Disillusionment with politics has led many to turn away, allowing corrupt elites to retain control.
Many intellectuals wait for a perfect party instead of contributing to building one.
Decades of division and distrust have made unity difficult, but not impossible.

Despite these obstacles, Mili Mehwar remains committed to reclaiming Afghanistan’s national dignity, fostering political unity, and reviving the values that once made this nation strong. With the support of the Afghan people, we will not only fill the void of a major national party we will become the force that reshapes Afghanistan’s destiny.
