Today in Doha, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Honorable Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi and senior delegation held a joint meeting with ambassadors and representatives of US, EU and other western countries. H.E. Muttaqi talked in detail about the current Afghan situation, relations with other countries, prevailing economic difficulties, humanitarian assistance, resumption of incomplete development projects and existing sanctions, drawing the attention of all participants, adding that weakening the Afghan government is not in the interest of anyone because its negative effects will directly affect the world in security sector and economic migration from the country. Pressure tactics have not yielded results in Afghanistan, instead let us adopt constructive interaction and cooperation.

H.E. Muttaqi remarked our priority is paying salaries from previous months to half a million civil servants and resumption of new economic projects. In this regard we urge world countries to end existing sanctions and let banks operates normally so that charity groups, organizations and the government can pay salaries to their staff with their own reserves and international financial assistance.

Participants of the meeting agreed that an instable Afghanistan is not in the interest of anyone however they do have some concerns that must be addressed by you that will lead to positive effects on relations. Majority of participations asserted they have increased humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan and want to deliver it by the end of the year. Moreover, all were of the opinion to continue such meetings and interactions in the future.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “On the First Anniversary of the Doha Agreement”

l_DzlA8Q

On the 5th of Rajab 1441 Hijri Lunar corresponding with 10th Hoot 1338 Hijri Solar, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States of America signed a historic deal in the presence of international observers along with the foreign ministers and representatives of multiple countries.

This agreement is a historic accord between the people of Afghanistan and the people of America because it is aimed at ending the twenty-year imposed war.

We congratulate everyone specifically our beloved compatriots and valiant Mujahideen on the first anniversary of this momentous agreement.

The United States of America has committed itself in the agreement that in fourteen months following this date, they will withdraw all their military personnel along with those of their allies and coalition as well as all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private contractors, trainers, advisors and service providers.

On the other side, the Islamic Emirate committed itself to not allow anyone to use the soil of Afghanistan to threaten the security of the United States of America and its allies.

On the basis of this historic agreement, five thousand prisoners of the Islamic Emirate and one thousand of the other side were released and the intra-Afghan talks subsequently launched. Even though this process was unfortunately delayed for six months, this delay was not on part of the Islamic Emirate.

But in spite of this, the release of prisoners and launch of intra-Afghan dialogue served as positive momentum towards finding a resolution to the Afghan issue and for bringing peace and prosperity to the people.

The release of six thousand prisoners was in reality a cause for joy and celebration for six thousand Afghan families.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would like to communicate its stance on the first anniversary of this agreement as following:

1 – The Islamic Emirate is committed on its part to all contents of the agreement and views its implementation the sole effective tool for resolving the Afghan issue and establishing peace, that shall be realized under the shade of an Islamic system.

2 – The Islamic Emirate also calls on the other party to the agreement (United States of America) to honor its own commitments towards security and stability in Afghanistan by implementing all parts of the agreement.

3 – The release of remaining prisoners and end of blacklists are part of the agreement that have yet to be implemented. Practical steps must by undertaken to expedite the ongoing intra-Afghan dialogue process. The implementation of the agreement must be utilized to improve the situation and pushing it in the wrong direction must be avoided.

4 – The Doha agreement has created a practical framework for bringing peace and security to Afghanistan. If any other pathway is pursued as a replacement, then it is already doomed to failure.

5 – The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has significantly reduced the level of operations in line with the Doha agreement. No operations have targeted major military and intelligence centers, martyrdom operations have seized, provinces have not been overrun, provincial capitals have not been attacked, district centers have not been targeted, and this is known and clear to everyone.

However, the other side has not fulfilled its obligations in this regard as bombardments, drone strikes, raids and offensive operations that were all prohibit on the basis of the agreement are still continuing, which is mostly causing civilian harm and increasing the levels of violence.

Moreover, some circles with their interests tied to foreign actors have recently launched a wave of targeted attacks especially against civilians with the aim of showing the situation as teetering on the brink of a crisis, and to create excuses for the continuation of occupation and war.

6 – But despite these shortcomings, the agreement is still moving in a positive direction, the results of which shall be beneficial for all parties. In line with this agreement, a large part of foreign forces specifically American forces have withdrawn from our country, while the rest must also withdraw within the specified date. Similarly, the Islamic Emirate has also shown complete adherence to its commitments and continues to honor them.

7 – The State of Qatar, Security Council along with all other countries and international observers that participated in the signing ceremony have an obligation in the complete implementation of the agreement that must be fulfilled.

New video message from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Interview with the Deputy Minister of the Islamic Cultural Commission (Mawlāwī Aḥmad Allah Wathīq) On the Occasion of the End of the Occupation Agreement in Doha, Qatar”

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: “Clarification Concerning the Postponement of the Qatar Conference”

l_DzlA8Q

An intra-Afghan conference was scheduled to take place on the 20th and 21st April in the Qatari capital of Doha but has now been cancelled.

We deem it necessary to make the following clarification:

1 – A decision was made during the Moscow conference on 6th of February that a similar conference will again be held in Qatar.

The Islamic Emirate is still committed to that policy and pledge of an identical conference being held; rather the Islamic Emirate went a step further by agreeing to allow an even larger number of male and female compatriots to attend when compared to the Moscow conference.

It was agreed that all participants of the conference shall declare their own personal views regarding the Afghan issue however the Kabul administration officials launched efforts to introduce this conference as a negotiation’s meetings between the Kabul administration and the Islamic Emirate, a position in conflict with the policy of the conference.

2 – All participants attended the Moscow conference in a personal capacity and the upcoming Qatar conference was also planned with similar guidelines from the very first day.

Both the hosts of the conference and Qatar made it clear and even stipulated this point in the invitation letters that all individuals shall partake in personal capacity but the head of Kabul administration (Ashraf Ghani and another official Umar Daudzai) repeatedly held press conferences and declared that members selected by them shall participate as representatives of the Kabul administration, a clear attempt at sabotaging this conference and peace efforts.

3 – Just as all the arrangements for the conference were finalized, the Kabul administration officials launched their own bizarre meetings inside the Arg palace, announcing their red lines and conditions, claiming host status for the conference, filing and publicizing a participant list not only ill-suited for the conference site and situation but also having not chance of being accepted. And the strangest of all was the publication of this list before even sharing or reaching an understanding or agreement with the conference hosts, deliberately creating turmoil.

4 – At a time when the policy of the Islamic Emirate is absolutely clear that the initial stage of the negotiations process shall resolve the foreign aspect of the issue – meaning the complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan as dialogue with the powerless and crumbling Kabul administration is a waste of time.

But even with this policy, over thirty Kabul administration peace council and other officials were accommodated in the Qatar conference and majority of the list was comprised of current and former members and supporters of the Kabul administration partaking in a personal capacity whereas only twenty five members of the Islamic Emirate were to be part of the conference. Yet the Kabul administration still insisted on a 250 member lopsided list which was an inappropriate undertaking.

5 – The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan reassures its oppressed nation and the world that the Islamic Emirate has made use of absolute patience. The Political Office and Negotiation Team headed by the respected Mullah Baradar Akhund worked day and night, exercised self-restraint and showed flexibility in policy to the highest level; but since Kabul administration officials and secret circles created obstacles for this effort therefore its responsibility also falls upon their shoulders. The Help of Allah and support of nation shall remain with us and the enemies of peace shall themselves come to understand that they miscalculated and were wrong.

6 – In the end we thank all individuals and parties especially the distinguished Qatari officials, officials of Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies and sincere peace activities inside the country who aided in this process and tried their best till the very end, may Allah (SwT) reward them for their efforts, specifically those who prepared themselves for the conference.

Those eminent personalities who went to Kabul from adjacent provinces and some who even arrived at Doha, we show our utmost appreciation for all their efforts and hope for further resolve in their future efforts.
The Islamic Emirate shall continue its legitimate struggle until true peace prevails and an intra-Afghan Islamic system is established, Allah willing.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: “Clarification Regarding Intra-Afghan Conference In Qatar”

l_DzlA8Q

As our fellow countrymen are already aware, an intra-Afghan conference in planned for the 20th and 21st April in the capital of Qatar, Doha. We must clarify that the hosts of this conference have explained in both written and verbal form that no one will be representing the Kabul administration in this conference. If any participant is affiliated with the Kabul administration as was the case in the Moscow conference, they shall partake in a personal capacity and express their own personal views as no one is allowed to represent the Kabul administration.

The Kabul administration has published a list of 250 participants for the said conference but the hosts of this conference have no plans of accepting so many people from Kabul and neither is such participation normal in such conferences.

Only a limited number of political and national figures from this list are selected for the finalized list and only they shall be participating.

The creators of Kabul list must realize that this is an orderly and prearranged conference in a far-away Khaleeji country and not an invitation to some wedding or other party at a hotel in Kabul.

Arranging and publishing such lists signifies that the Kabul administration fears these conferences and progress towards peace and is trying to be a spoiler with such actions.
