New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Dispelling the Concerns of Some of Afghanistan's Neighboring States"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


Recently some of Afghanistan’s neighboring states, namely India, China and Russia, have expressed concern that if American forces exit Afghanistan then Afghanistan will be faced with strife and could become a threat to the stability of the region.
We consider these concerns to be the product of the propaganda dissemination by Western Intelligence-controlled media outlets, and encourage our neighboring states to take an impartial stance and look at this issue from the prism of the prevalent realities. The Islamic Emirate, as a responsible entity, assures its neighbors that Afghanistan will not cause any harm to its neighboring fellow states. The Islamic Emirate strives to achieve peace both in our country and in the wider region. However, the continued presence of American forces in Afghanistan is the prime reason for the instability of our country and meddling in the wider region. Our neighboring states must understand the threats that are posed to our region as a result of continued US-Nato military presence in Afghanistan. This military presence provides a pretext for further instability in the region, continues to arouse the sensitivities of the common people of this region, and for the Afghan people especially, this military presence is absolutely unacceptable.
We are unequivocally opposed to any American military presence in Afghanistan and we will continue our armed struggle until Afghanistan regains its full sovereignty and all foreign military forces leave our country. Afghanistan’s neighboring states bear a responsibility to take into account the legitimate aspirations of the people of this region and take steps to become aware of the realities of this war rather than simply rely on the information fed by western intelligence-controlled media outlets with the purpose of prolonging the instability of Afghanistan. Our neighboring countries should study the characteristics of the Afghan people and take steps towards building such a relationship with our nation that will prove fruitful to all parties and fulfill the legitimate aspirations of all people.

The Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Zabiullah Mujahid

New statement from the Global Islamic Media Front: "Condolences and Congratulations to the Islamic Ummah on the Martyrdom of the Amīr Ḥakīm Allah Meḥsūd"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

R7ZIy
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
{Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.}

Praise be to Allah for what He decided and what He decreed, and for what He grants for each person in order not to be delayed, and prayers and peace be upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad, and on all of his family and companions.

Thereafter:

We offer condolences to the Ummah of patience and Jihad, the Ummah of Islam, for the martyrdom of the the brave leader and hero Hakimullah Mehsud – may Allah accept him – condolences mixed with sorrow for our pride in our loss of our deceased. His example from the heroes of our Ummah does not depart from us except when they ride with the reins of their horses attacking their enemies, the enemies of Islam, until their last breath. Yes, life is what has been lived, and yes, life is what departed from him, as we consider him, and Allah is his Reckoner, and we do not commend anyone to Allah. The leader Hakimullah Mehsud was granted a love of Jihad and the teachings of what made him begin his march along the path of Jihad since his youth, raising the banner of Tawhid, seeking his expected death as a valiant, attacking Mujahid, then a leader of a group of lions, and then a happy martyr – with Allah’s permission – achieving what he left for and lived for: martyrdom, may Allah accept him from its people with the best of acceptance.
And if the martyr departed before he saw the fruits of his Jihad in order to make a full and complete victory, then we reckon him as leaving behind men as mountains, and they will be restless until they see the banner of Tawhid waving and the religion of Allah triumphing over all religions, even if the infidels dislike it.

O Allah, accept our martyr, forgive him, have mercy on him, and raise him to the highest level of Your paradise.
O Allah, place prayers on Your servant and Your Messenger Muhammad, and on all of his family and companions.
