New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “On the 37th Anniversary of the Expulsion of Soviet Union’s Red Army from Afghanistan”

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan extends its heartfelt congratulations to the noble Muslim people of Afghanistan and to the Mujahideen on the occasion of the anniversary of the defeat and withdrawal of the Red Army of the former Soviet Union from Afghanistan. This historic day stands as a moment of pride and gratitude, and as a shining chapter in the contemporary history of our homeland.

By the infinite mercy and assistance of Allah Almighty, the Afghan Mujahideen—through steadfast jihad, immense sacrifices, migration, and enduring hardships—were granted the honor of overcoming a great power and compelling its forces to withdraw from our sacred land. This victory remains a testament to the unyielding faith, resilience, and determination of the Afghan Muslim nation.

The liberation of Afghanistan from occupation for the third time within the past century, by the will and help of Allah Almighty, clearly demonstrates the firm resolve of our Muslim people to safeguard their religion, protect their independence, and defend their territorial integrity. Throughout successive invasions over the last hundred years, history has shown that aggression against Afghanistan is met with steadfast resistance and ultimate failure.

Those who harbor ill intentions toward our freedom and sovereignty should take heed from the lessons of the past and refrain from any actions that threaten the independence and Islamic values of our country.

The Islamic Emirate calls upon its brave and faithful countrymen to remain vigilant against all forms of conspiracy and subversion. By preserving unity, strengthening Islamic brotherhood, and adhering firmly to the path of their righteous predecessors, they shall continue to safeguard their religion, beliefs, and independence.

May peace and the mercy of Allah be upon the Afghan nation.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
