New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Reaction to the False Claims of Resumption of Talks with America"


Some media outlets published reports yesterday that a source (unkown) of Islamic Emirate has told British Channel 4 that talks have resumed between Islamic Emirate and America and that so far 2 meetings have taken place between the two parties all the while these allegations have no basis and are nothing more than baseless claims.
From the day the Islamic Emirate suspended talks with the Americans up until today, all contacts and meetings have ceased between the representatives of America and Islamic Emirate. Just as was stated in the statement regarding suspension of talks with America, the Islamic Emirate will not resume talks until the Americans take constructive steps and fulfill promises which were agreed upon for confidence building.
Due to this, we once again call on all media outlets to follow the ethics of journalism and refrain from publishing such baseless and misleading reports just for propaganda. Before publishing a report, confirmation about its authenticity should be acquired from the spokesman of Islamic Emirate. We have observed some media outlets in the past decade which repeatedly create and publish rumors in order to maintain a malicious propaganda atmosphere.
Hence, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan requests all impartial news agencies to avoid publishing reports sourced from such media outlets associated with known circles without receiving verification from Islamic Emirate while all the accepted rules of journalism should be observed.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Remarks Regarding the US, Pakistan, and Kabul Three-Cornered Summit"


Viewing its massive military collapse lurking ahead, the U.S, the global invading bully, in futile attempts, latest in series of ineffective efforts to make up for its open and
disgraceful defeat and, in a sense, to protect and bolster its battered prestige and status worldwide in a face-saving way, apparently opened a trilateral conference thursday in Islamabad  which was participated by delegations from Pakistan and Kabul stooge administration who agreed on establishing a sub group to look at ways to provide safe passage and facilitate the Mujahideen kowtowing to US demands in the name of supposed reconciliation talks.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, hereby, strongly denounce such foul and horrendous rift-creating attempts and express its remarks as follows:
Precisely, it is an acknowledged fact that the Islamic Emirate is engaging in Jihad for a higher and sacred cause and drive and there is none in the ranks of Mujahideen who may deviate from his supreme command and leadership of the Islamic Emirate, broadly speaking, from the teachings of Islam in return for the few dollars, positions, status and ranks and bow to the invading enemy. Failure to recognize this phenomenon, so far, may be an indication of sheer ignorance on the parts of the US and its allies, that is, either they are still unaware of this fact, or they just fool themselves by looking at their future in Afghanistan through rose-colored glasses.
Our fight has never been and will never be for the sake of the social status and positions, and monetary incentives nor is it for the sake our own comforts and luxuries. On the contrary, we, as true representatives of a free nation, have combated for more than 10 years against the aggression, operation and evils by the invading forces to uphold the truth so as to achieve our a sovereign independent Islamic country which is our due right.
The enemy’s attempts to put temptation in the ways of Mujahideen and create rifts among their ranks in addition to resorting to any kinds of evil ploys and stratagems rather than weighing and understanding the ground reality are adequate and clear proof of its vulnerability and panic, however, all its schemes and traps are destined to be doomed as they used be over the last 10 years.
The Islamic Emirate, mindful of cunning enemy’s every move and tactic, prefer a way which is in the best interest of our beloved-country by putting Islam before everything else.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesman.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "On the Occasion of the 7th & 8th of Saur (April 1978)"


The Afghan communist perpetrators, on 27 April 1978(Saur 7, 1357 Hijri solar year), so as to impose the Red apostate ideology (communist and socialist agenda and ideas) and expand its world-engulfing empire, mounted a repugnant military coup in the center of Kabul city, the Afghan capital.
The abominable local communists, upon the order from their despotic masters began resorting to all tools of oppression, aggression, terror and torture in order to ensnare the brave Afghan nation into the trap of communism, and to deviate them from Islamic and national beliefs; furthermore, take over their political sovereignty and to alienate this nation from its Afghan national identity, and eventually to wipe out this legendary land of the brave and chivalrous from political geography.
The Afghan Mujahid nation, keeping the great heroism and triumphs of its chivalrous ancestors in heart and mind, has never forgotten the ability of defending its beloved homeland against the invading forces and bringing them to their knee. Neither could the deceptive slogans of food, clothing and shelter fool our grassroots, nor could the racial, regional, and linguistic discriminations divide them.
Whereas this Mujahid nation, equipped with spirit of faith and Jihad, with one accord, solidarity and resolve, waged armed Jihad against Kufr (infidelity) and communism despite the lack of arms and ammo and the sounds of the slogans of Allahu Akbar rising from cities and mountains put the communist culprits and their Russian masters through the hell turning the world into the furnace of fire for them.
Allah the Great and the Exalted, through the nationwide uprising, unprecedented and sincere sacrifices by the Afghans led to not only humiliating the communist perpetrators of the Sour Coup De’tat but disintegrating the arrogant Soviet Union, crumbling on its very edifice and putting an end to the Red empire across the world.
14 years after a series of turbulences, sacrifices, hardship of displacement and migrations and engaging in a one-and-a-half decades long Jihad by Afghan Mujahid nation on 28 April 1992 (Saur 8, 1371 Hijri solar year), the caravan of Jihad reached its desired and victorious destination wiping out the communist empire worldwide. This day, (8 Saur) is recorded in Afghan history as a day of collapse of communism and victory of Jihad which is viewed with pride by every Afghan Muslim. But what happened in the aftermath and how some political parties in Afghanistan have, so far, played with bloodshed of our martyrs is extremely disputable and has yet to be questioned.
We have witnessed how brazenly these political parties resorted to civil war within the country for their own personal interests and political power, putting the Afghan nation yet through a much more grievous and unpleasant unrest and disaster.
In the prevailing sensitive circumstance, in which our country is passing through a significant new period in its history, the American invaders and its slave regime are face-to-face with awaiting disgraceful defeat with our country on the road to the independence.
The Afghan, thus, taking a lesson from the history, have to be mindful and smart enough to be outsmarted by the evil intents and traps of the enemy and work toward the liberation of Afghanistan from the impure grip of US occupation and strive for the enforcement of a pure Islamic system in our beloved country with solidarity, integrity and brotherhood.
