New interview by CNN with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid


Alemarah website presents to its viewers the interview of Zabihullah Mujahid done with CNN news network on the 14/02/2012 where a range of questions regarding the current ongoing situation and political issues are answered.
 
Q. Is it possible for the Taliban to renounce international terrorism in one of its written statements as per the American demand?
A. All praise is due to Allah and may his peace and blessings be upon his chosen servant.
To proceed, I must first and foremost say that we do not work according to the guidelines of America or any other country but all of our decisions are based on Islamic principles while giving consideration to our national interests however based on mutual respect, we do believe in reaching an understanding with all the countries of the world.
Now, regarding the issue of terrorism:
If America and its allies consider the current Jihad and struggle in Afghanistan against the eradication of the occupation and its continuation until all foreign troops leave and an Islamic government is established as terrorism, then we cannot shun this as it would be an un-Islamic act because we consider this Jihad and struggle as our Islamic obligation, the shunning of which is not possible in any circumstance. However, as we continue with this obligation (Jihad and struggle) we are religiously held responsible in preventing civilian casualties.
 
Q. Do you have delegates based in Qatar at the moment who are engaged in talks with America? If you don’t, do you have plans to send delegations in the near future?
A. A representative of Islamic Emirate has held meetings with American delegates in Qatar regarding confidence building measures. As for when we will send or not send delegations to Qatar, then it all depends on when we reach the negotiation stage. Up until now, this has not officially occurred and naturally, as we reach the negotiation stage, a delegation or a team of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will be chosen and sent to Qatar.
 
Q. Have you yet been asked to meet with the Karzai administration in Saudi Arabia? If not, will you accept to meet with them in Saudi Arabia if requested?
A. Before I answer your question I firstly must say that in order to reach an understanding with America, Qatar was chosen as an intermediary nation by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. This was our own choice and not on due part to the behest or pressure of another nation, a selection which America also accepted.
In regards to Saudi Arabia, no one has put forward such a request to us and even if such a thing was requested, our answer will be that the government of Karzai is not independent and meeting with it will not benefit in any way in solving the problem.
 
Q. Do you believe that the active lower level Taliban will accept you accord if you were to reach a positive outcome with America in Qatar?
A. In our system, no consideration is given to the issue of high rank or low rank but rather the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan works as a cohesive administration. All of its offices, its officials and members work for a mutual goal under the leadership of the Commander of the Faithful. The current talks or future negotiations all take place with the permission and guidance of the Amir and all agreements which all done with the consent of the Amir in the light of Islamic principles and national interests are happily accepted by all and they who work earnestly to implement them.
 
Q. Do you think talking with the Karzai administration will be beneficial or do you want to directly talk with the Americans?
A. I must say that Karzai, Kabul administration, Afghans and the Americans or Washington is not concerned here as some people say, as a form of protest, that the Taliban only want to talk with the Americans instead of their own Afghans. In reality, the concern is of one exercising power and one with no power. It is well known to the Afghan people as well as the world that the real power holder fighting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan is America. It has used Karzai and his administration as an instrument to maintain its grip and continue its occupation.
 
Q. If those Taliban that are being held in Guantanamo are not released, will your negotiations with the Americans still continue?
A. Negotiations have not yet began with the Americans so talking about it continuing does not mean much. Now the question is, when will negotiations begin? I must say that before any negotiations can take place, confidence building measures must first succeed so an atmosphere can be created for negotiations and this confidence building measure rests entirely with the Americans and they must take steps for it which are; exchange of Guantanamo prisoners, the opening of a political office and the termination of the black list of the United Nations as well as the bounty lists of America and her allies.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Martyrdom of its Deputy, Distinguished Personality and Honorable Mujāhid, Al Hāj Mulla 'Ubaydah Allah Akhond"

It is with immense sorrow that we received confirmation that Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond, who was the minister of defense during Islamic Emirate and the deputy of Islamic Emirate during the current barbaric invasion of Afghanistan under the leadership of America, has passed away in a Pakistani prison. Surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return.

The honorable Mujahid was detained by the government of Pakistan on the 3rd of January 2007 in the province of Balouchistan while on a visit after which his whereabouts were unknown for a long period of time until recently, when his family received word that two years from today, on March the 5th 2010, the mentioned person passed away from heart complications while being held in a prison in the city of Karachi. To validate this distressing news, the family has attained trustworthy evidence which confirms his passing away however it is still not established if this distinguished personality of the Islamic Ummah and Afghanistan passed away due to heart complications or if he was martyred due to torture while being imprisoned.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, on the occasion of the passing away of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond, would like to extend its commiseration, condolences, and consolation to his distinguished family, all the Mujahideen and the people of Afghanistan as well as the entire Muslim Ummah. Just as the mentioned Mujahid devoted his soul in his Jihadi life and path to his Creator and Lord Almighty, we supplicate to Allah (SWT) to accept his martyrdom and grant him the highest ranks in Paradise (al Firdows). Similarly, we ask Allah (SWT) to grant his relatives patience and a great reward.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers the martyrdom of Shaheed Mullah Obaidullah Akhond a void for the entire Islamic Ummah and especially Afghanistan which cannot be compensated and vigorously demand from the Pakistani officials to give the complete and factual information of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah’s detention, illness and death to the Islamic Emirate. In this regard, we also hold the International Red Cross responsible as the news of the martyrdom of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond was received after a period of 2 years and also for not providing any type information about the concerned martyr and others to the families of these prisoners of Islamic Emirate who are held in Pakistan and we also demand that they fill this shortcoming in the future as it is their obligation.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, at a time when all of the non Muslim states and nations have violated its country, considers it very unfortunate that it is targeted with such inhumane actions by some Islamic countries every now and again. Today, the Afghan nation is considered homeless, helpless and oppressed only because of their crime of Islamic valor. On the account of Islamic brotherhood, we call on all the Islamic nations and its people to behave in a brotherly manner with all the Afghan immigrants, travelers and prisoners in all parts of the world.

Wasalam

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Short biography

Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond was the son of the Al Haaj Mullah Yaar Muhammad Akhond Sahib and the grandson of a famous religious scholar of his time, the late Al Haaj Mullah Fath Muhammad Akhond. Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond opened his eyes to this transient world in the village of Alkozo, Nalgham area, Zhiri district in the year 1388 hijri.

The late (may Allah have mercy on him) had just reached his teenage years when the rule of the soviet invaders was forced upon our beloved country.

During this period, the late (may Allah have mercy on him), due to his religious zeal joined the front of the famous Taliban commander, Haji Mullah Muhammad Sadiq Akhond and fought shoulder to shoulder with his armed brothers against the invading infidels and was quickly promoted as the head commander of this front after showing exceptional capability and sincerity.

It is said that during the hard periods of Jihad, the late (may Allah have mercy on him) was wounded multiple times and was once wounded in Mahlajat area of Kandahar city while fighting in the same trench with the esteemed Commander of the faithful, Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid. The late (may Allah have mercy on him) was busy with his armed struggle in Kandahar until the very last moments of Jihad against Communism while continuing it in the front of Mullah Muhammad Sadiq Akhond, which was famously known as the Taliban front.

During the factional chaos that ensued, the late (may Allah have mercy on him) was one of the first persons to endure various hardships from the initial stages of the establishment of the Taliban Islamic movement to bring order. Besides bearing other responsibilities for the Islamic movement, he also served as the commander of Kandahar corps until the liberation of Kabul.

One year before the liberation of Kabul, Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was captured by the fighters of Ismail Khan during a large scale offensive in Farah province on day of Eid but was released after a forty day period after a general prisoner exchange.

When the capital of Afghanistan was liberated by the Islamic movement, Mullah Obaidullah Akond (may Allah have mercy on him) was appointed the minister of defense by the Amir ul Mumineen.

Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was wounded seven times during his time with the Islamic movement while fighting on the various fronts and was fatally wounded the last time near Kalakano district center (north of Kabul) in which his neural system was also damaged.

When the capital Kabul and other major cities were evacuated by Islamic Emirate after the American attack, Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) also travelled to Kandahar from Kabul through Charasyab and Logar and with newfound spirit, presented himself with the initiation of Jihad and was later appointed as his deputy by the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen.

Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was also always busy in trying to complete his religious studies alongside his Jihadi activities and was even busy with studying books from Warha Dawrah (one year before graduation) right before being detained.

In the end, the righteous warrior and Mujahid of the right path gave up his soul to the caller of death while he had spent all his life in the service of this divine religion, Jihad, learning and establishment of an Islamic government without any distractions. May his soul rest in peace and memory live on forever.

Surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return.
