New article from a member of the Anṣār al-Mujāhidīn English Forum: "The Failure Of AMISOM And An Urgent Message To The Kenyan People"


Salaam Alaykom wa rahmatollah wa barakatuh,
in the name of Allah,most gracious,most merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation; Lord and Supporter of the oppressed monotheists; Breaker and Vanquisher of unjust tyrants. Peace and blessings be upon the Seal of the Prophets, and their master; Imam and exemplar of the Mujahideen; and upon his household and his companions and those guided by his guidance; revive his Sunnah until the Day of Judgment.
This message is directed to:
– The Muslims of Kenya 
– The Kenyans who long for martyrdom or victory
– The scholars and students of Kenya
– The Kenyans who have a mustard seed of faith
– The Apostates who work for the puppet government

On October 16, 2011, the Kenyan apostate government invaded Somalia under the banner of the crusader west. Thousands of Kenyan Mercenaries stormed into Somalia to fight the youth Mujahiden movement. With their armored trucks, tanks and helicopters they want to cause mischief on earth.
Allah Says in the Glorious Quran: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement. (al-Mā’ida 5:33-34)

The failure of AMISOM and 
Sheikh la Sharif Ahmed
This new invasion clearly shows us the failure of the AMISOM troops and the militias of Sheikh la Sharif Ahmed in their war against the defenders of monotheism. The crusaders and apostates tried everything to turn the people against the Mujahiden of Al-Shabaab. First they tried to damage the image of the Mujahiden by portraying them as blood hungry criminals, who fight for foreign countries who want to destroy Somalia. After their first failure they tried to convince the people that democracy is the only way to hope, peace and liberty. In their last attempt (Insha’Allah) they used an old weak tactic “Hold your dog hungry and it will follow you“.
The commanders of al-Shabaab managed with the help of Allah, to tackle all of the above mentioned evil plots. The Somalian people know the real criminals of Somalia. The war lords who used to operate under Yusuf Ahmed joined the green zone government in their fight against Al-Shabaab. The people of Somalia know very good who the warlords are and what they are fighting for. The warlords who used to rape,kill and steel from the people under the banner of Yusuf Ahmed are the same people who rape,kill and steel under the banner of Sheikh la Sharif Ahmed. Not only that, but the people also know the commanders of Al-Shabaab. The commanders of Al-Shabaab are known for their da’wa and jihad. Most of the commanders fought with the Islamic courts union against the government of Yusuf Ahmed.
The Mujahiden of Al-Shabaab also succeeded in exposing the false concept of democracy. The democracy of Sheikh la Sharif Ahmed is the democracy of America. The democracy of America has nothing to do with human rights, freedom and justice. The democracy of America is freedom of infidelity, immorality and injustice. Look up the statistics and you understand what I mean.
Allah Says in The Quran: You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. (Al-Imran 3:111)
In their last attempt (Insha’Allah) they failed miserably. they thought that by boycotting the mujahiden the people would leave the Islamic provinces and immigrate to the green zone.
Allah Says in the Quran: And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners. (Al-Imran 3:54)
Instead of leaving the Mujahiden more people immigrated to the Islamic provinces. The mujahiden treated the poor Muslims according to the Islamic law. All praise be to Allah, the mujahiden closed the Al-Yasir camp and ordered the people to return to their homes.
The main subject:. 
It seems to me that the Kenyan mercenaries don’t have a clue as to what they are doing. Do they really think that after 4 years of fighting, the Mujahiden have become weak or tired? The Mujahiden become stronger and stronger every time the enemies increase their troops.
Allah Says in the Quran: And when the believers saw the Confederate forces, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth.” And it increased them only in faith and acceptance. (Al-Ahzab 33:22)
** The mujahiden are like rough Diamonds. The more pressure and heat, the stronger and beautiful they become after the process **

My message to the Kenyan Muslims:
O’ Muslims of Kenya, raise the banner of Jihad and assist the mujahideen in Somalia. Don’t get distracted by the Somalian-Kenyan border. We don’t acknowledge borders which are made by the United Nations. The United Nation is an International kufr organization which is led by the Zionist and crusaders. The most important thing for the Muslims is unity.
The Quran states that “verily, this nation of yours is one nation and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me” (Anbya 21:92).
The prophet Mohammed peace be upon said: “the Ummah is like one body, when one part is injured, the whole body feels its pain.”
O’ Muslims of Kenya, take an example from the Mujahiden in Pakistan. They have trained and deployed thousands of fighters in Afghanistan. They have turned themselves into shields for the Mujahiden in Afghanistan. They harboured and protected the Muhajireen who immigrated to the fields of Jihad.
Fight the Kenyan Government: 
The best way to fight the Kenyan government is to destroy their biggest income. The biggest income for the Kenyan government is Tourism. The definition of tourism is “the practice of traveling for recreation “. The tourist who travel to Kenya for the sake of evil need to be stopped immediately. They are the messengers of Iblis who stimulate immorality and kufr. The Mujahiden can take advantage of the tourist by asking ransom from the kufr governments.
Remember that money is very important in Jihad.
The prophet Muhammad peace be upon said: “Wage Jihad against the idolators with your wealth, your lives, and your words.”
Sheikh-ul-Islam ibn Taimiyyah said: “Whoever is unable to make Jihad with their bodies and is able to make Jihad with their wealth, it becomes an obligation. It is an obligation for those who are not in a tight situation to spend in Allah’s Cause. Thus, it is an obligation to make Jihad with one’s wealth if it is required if there is any excess, even women and children, just like Zakaah. As for when the enemy attacks, there is no room for difference, as defending the religion, lives, and inviolabilities of the Muslims from their harm is an obligation by Ijmaa‘.”
Spend in the cause of Allah and be one of the good-doers.
And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqun. Those who spend (in Allah’s Cause) in prosperity and in adversity , who repress anger , and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).
(Aal Imran: 133-134)
I advise the brothers to start their fight against the Kenyan mercenaries in Liboi, Hagadera, Garissa, Bura, Gashi and other places close to the border. If you attack them in the above mentioned places, they will feel the heat from both sites (Kenya-Somalia).
Finaly I say to the Kenyan Government
You have opened the gate of hell for your security forces and military. We will target every police station and military bases in our reach. Our martyrdom bombers will target buildings which are used to fight the mujahiden. Our sniper teams will target the heads of kufr and apostasy.
The good news is not what the enemy hears but what they will see!
And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know. {Yusuf 12:21}
O Allah, grant victory to the Mujahedeen over their enemy… Don’t make them reliant on their sayings and doings, and be merciful upon them and be for them and not against them… O Allah, make them from the believers who remember You and fear You and rely on You truly, and make them, O Allah, from the repenting worshippers who fear and obey You… O Allah, make them from those who are the victors before You, those who are deserving of Your victory.. O Allah, reveal upon them your victory, O Lord of the worlds… O Allah, reveal upon them your victory and make them steadfast and shake the earth from below the feet of their enemies, O Victory granter O Helper!
And Allah knows best… and peace and blessings of Allah on our Prophet Muhammad and on his family and companions altogether…
Was salaam Alaykom,
The poor and weak servant of Allah

Two new statments from Zabīhullah Mujāhid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan


Remarks Regarding The Upcoming Supposed Loya Jirga:

Under the orders of its masters, the Kabul administration wants to abuse a much respected custom of our country (Loe Jirga) and try to give a legal face to the establishment of permanent bases for the American occupying forces on the Islamic soil of Afghanistan and in this way prolong the ten year catastrophe befallen on our country, deceive the nation and further expose their own crimes. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would like to make the following statements to the respected nation regarding this issue. Loe Jirga has been our custom ever since the foundation of our country. The governments have always turned to it in times of crucial and significant issues. Have always made decisions for our autonomy and independence and this much respected custom has remained a freedom giving principle for our nation. This tradition has also been abused by some hireling authoritarian figures tied to others to give credence to their illegal rule but such overtures have always mounted to nothing and were rejected by our intelligent and sensible nation. The last communist leader of the Kabul Regime (Najib) also abused this principle many times against the Muslim Afghan people however it did not benefit him or the country. With the onset of the American occupation, the current stooge Kabul regime has also repeatedly utilized the name of Loe Jirga, its high-status and aim to play games and has held such councils under the command of its American master, has gathered faces of its liking and passed resolutions to the likings of the invaders. For its long term goal of permanently staying in Afghanistan, the Americans want to once again abuse this tradition through its stooge regime to call a supposed Loe Jirga in which faces of its preference will be gathered, food will be eaten and once again, games will be played with the fate and future of its nation. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan wants to call on its countrymen that in the past ten years, such conventions have always complied with the invaders and has rubbed salt on your wounds instead of healing them. While paying serious attention to these impairments, no countryman should take part in this partial convention and should wholly side with its country’s freedom. Islamic Emirate wants to warn every person who wants to participate in this so-called Loe Jirga that such traitors will be pursued by Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate in every corner of the country and will face severe repercussions. The country’s trustworthy scholars have passed a decree in this regard and every participant of this convention shall be charged with treason if caught. Islamic Emirate also calls on its brave and courageous Mujahideen to target every security guard, person with intention, participant and every caller of this convention in all corners of the country so to not let the invaders accomplish their plot and perpetually occupy our beloved country under the heading of permanent bases but rather should forever turn their plans to dust. Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Zabihullah Mujahid 2011-10-26

Comments Regarding The Martyrdom Of A Detainee In Bagram Prison:
Thousands of our innocent countrymen are languishing all across the country in the prisons of internal and foreign forces under inhumane conditions and are facing torture and abuse, which was also pointed out in a recent report published by the United Nations so now it happens that on Monday, one of our defenseless prisoners’ reached the high status of a martyr in the notorious Bagram prison under extreme torture.
These kinds of incidents have repeatedly taken place in the mentioned prison but then its custodians cite illness as the cause of the martyrdom?! in such a state that the illness was neither reported to the family members nor some aid agency. This event manifests in itself that the prisons under the control of foreigners and those connected to the Kabul administration are all secure from legal action. Serious life threats are faced by detainees here and this heart rendering occurrence is condemned by Islamic Emirate with the harshest of words. We would like to once again show our deepest concern about this matter to the United Nations, Human Rights Watch Organization and other International circles and asks them to pay serious attention to the terrible conditions of the Afghan prisoners and to stop hiding the violators in political curtains. The conditions in the prisons of our country are far worse than that which is sometimes pointed to by in the media and other reports. The beatings, torture and martyrdom of our prisoners cannot lower the moral and weaken the determination of our Muslim nation. Our enemies should realize that this kind and other kinds of incidents will only make us more determined in our struggle and will increase the sense of self-determination, honor and zeal of our nation, God willing.
Zabihullah Mujahid
Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
