New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Twentieth Anniversary of the Conquest of Kabul"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
6th of Mizana 1375 (Hijri Solar) is considered a unique and memorable day in the history of Afghanistan. On this day a dark page in the history of Afghanistan was turned, the abominable period of anarchy of factionalism was ended and the white flag of a peaceful Islamic government was raised in the capital Kabul.
We congratulate our believing oppressed nation on the 20th Anniversary of this blessed day in the history of our country and share with them our hopes of the reestablishment of a pure Islamic government.
The conquest of Kabul at the hands of the Islamic Emirate on 6th of Mizana is considered a monumental day in the history of Afghanistan because on this very day the capital was rescued from evil, corruption, anarchy, looting, wars of prejudice and many other injustices. Kabul – where the personal wealth of locals, underground electricity wires and even zoo animals were not safe from the factional criminals – inaugurated on Mizana 6th a day of security, peace and respect such which was not experienced in the past few years.
The conquest of Kabul by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate was not only a historical event in terms of sealing fate of the country but this incident was also unprecedented in its nature. The forces of Islamic Emirate entered Kabul city from multiple axis during the night but neither was the home or wealth of anyone looted, nor were civilians harmed, nor were any government offices, banks, shops or money exchange points ransacked and nor did any other such incident take place that normally occurs in such war conditions.
The reason behind this was because the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate, unlike the warlords, did not enter Kabul for plunder and corruption rather they conquered Kabul to establish order, peace and an Islamic government.
Kabul under the American occupation and in the claws of their stooges is again experiencing a condition reminiscent of the time before the 6th of Mizana. Kabul is once again partitioned by powerful gunmen into neighborhoods and streets of influence. Government land and fertile grounds are again usurped by gangs. The same warlords are once again challenging each other from the Tapas (hilltops) of Kabul, are building trenches and fanning the fire of prejudice. Security has deteriorated to a level where the kidnapping, killing and armed robbery of the wealthy have become daily occurrences. The oppressed citizens of Kabul have had enough of the regime’s extortion, embezzlement, plunder and exploitation and are once again awaiting a savior force to rescue the hearth of Afghanistan from American stooges and elements of evil and corruption.
Just as the reign of terror and corruption is temporary hence it is not far that Kabul shall once again see the face of peace, security and an Islamic government and be emancipated from corruption, Allah willing. And nothing is hard for Allah Almighty.

New release from the Teḥrīk-ī-Ṭālibān Pākistān's Miqdād al-al-Khurāsānī: "Reasons For The Failure Of Talks With the Pākistānī Government: Real Story, Real Facts"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

There have been many negative things printed and circulated on social media regarding peace talks. So I decided to reveal real facts.

Because the man was present during whole peace process, so it was necessary to bring out facts before Muslim Ummah regarding the events that took place during this whole period of peace talks.

 The dialogue was mainly an excuse for the government to take gullible masses of Pakistan into confidence by fooling them. Everyone knows that America has been demanding operation since many years but Pakistan government has replied that if we suddenly start operation on your demand without any talks then masses will think that this operation is started to obey the orders of America , and as a result we will face opposition, so let us first take the masses into confidence so that we could conduct military operation with full support from the people easily without any resistance from the masses.  My point is supported by the fact that the final decision of operation was taken on 24 January 2014 and on next day 25 January 2014 American coalition support fund, which was closed since long time, was restored and 35 million dollars were approved for Pakistan byUnited States of America.

Now if someone objects that this is coalition support fund , why  you thrust it in military operation . Then we ask these gentlemen that see the statement given by Pakistani ambassador Jalil Abbas Jeelani who is living in America. In which he clearly stated that this coalition support fund is given by America for Waziristan’s operation.  So when the donors and receivers both are describing themselves, then there is no room remaining for audience to comment.

Background of starting the negotiations was that, the media was giving impression that Taliban want to continue war unnecessarily, if they don’t want war then why don’t they resolve the dispute by peace talks. So Taliban clarified their position that they want Pakistan government and army to leave American slavery and want an Islamic system to be implemented in the country. If this dispute is resolved through negotiations and if government and army are serious in resolving this dispute by negotiations then we are ready for it.

At the time when peace talks were being started, suddenly America killed the leader of Mehsood circle Maulana Wali ur Rehman Mehsood in a drone strike. But Taliban remained firm on their position that we don’t have any enmity with Pakistan, If Pakistan army and government leave slavery of infidels and impose sharia law in the country then we are willing to forget every sorrow and live as a slave of Pakistan. Government told us that America does not want negotiations that’s why America is deliberately creating problems. But at the same time, government and army were busy in serving Americans, if government was really sincere then it would have warned America. You are sensible enough to understand real intentions of government.

Later on, Leader of Tehreek Taliban Pakistan Hakimullah Mehsood was martyred in a drone strike but Taliban did not change their stance.

Government formed a committee for the negotiations and gave them enough publicity in media so that people think that government t is very sincere in negotiation but this was not true, government was not sincere That’s why Maulana Abdul Aziz who was a member of committee left the committee by saying that government is not sincere, government is just fooling people by saying that committee has all the authority and powers but the reality is that no power or authority had been given to committee.

But for a long time, drama continued in media, committee was meeting after weeks of breaks,meetings of committee were useless, no serious step was taken to proceed the process of negotiation’s forward. Media was showing that breakthrough has been achieved but this was not the case. If committee was serious then certainly it would have contacted Taliban as soon as possible, but drama continued for several months and after that government formed a new committee after removing some members of old committee.

Now a new drama started.

When talks started, Taliban announced ceasefire for one month in which Taliban ordered every group under its command to stop war for one month and all groups under command agreed this declaration. As a result Taliban did not conduct any operation for one month period. In this period some attacks took place inside the country but Taliban denied that they or any group under their command was behind these attacks.  It is not only Taliban who are at war with Pakistan government and army, there are many other groups e.g in Balochistan, all over Pakistan. Tehreek Taliban Pakistan was only responsible for group under their command, we are not responsible for all groups who are at war with Pakistan government. Excuse of Tehreek Taliban should have been accepted as Taliban accepted excuse of government that America does not want any negotiations and is trying to spoil the process by killing leader of Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan by conducting drone strikes. On the other hand government had killed some of Taliban prisoners during the ceasefire period, proof of which was provided to government and reply of government was that we are investigating such incidents and guaranteed that these incidents will not take place again.

Before the announcement of ceasefire,Taliban committee had completed their homework e.g which topics are to be discussed in the negotiations and also created lists of prisoners so that when talks begin this issue could be raised upfront. After announcement of ceasefire and completing all the homework, Taliban committee was waiting for government committee to contact with them and start the process of negotiations.

Now imagine seriousness of the government towards peace that even after 3 weeks had already passed of one month ceasefire announcement , government committee was still not contacting the Taliban, After so much advisory meetings , government committee could not complete their affairs.

Even media was shouting that Taliban have announced a ceasefire and have invited committee so why committee is not going?

So brother! Dialogue was a drama of the government,

A trick to fool people!

Well, the government committee wasted 3 weeks, then in last week they contacted Taliban committee and invited Taliban committee to their favorite place which Taliban agreed after advisory meeting. And travelled through most dangerous roads and flood waters to reach the desired destination of governments committee which was militarily very dangerous place, from where a military fortress was just five minutes away.

This place was very suspicious militarily because in the past, government invited haji Muslim khan and other committee members of Taliban and then arrested them who were later killed by poison in jail.

However Taliban remained firm on what they decided and reached the desired destination with sincerity and substantial military arrangements.

It was decided that government committee will reach the place one day after Taliban committee had reached. Next day weather was not clear, when Taliban committee members contacted the government committee and asked when they will come, then government committee replied that we are in Peshawar, as soon as weather becomes clear we will reach the meeting place on helicopter. Taliban committee said that if weather does not become clear up to a week then will we wait here for a full week? So leave the helicopter and travel by road, journey will be long but Insha’Allah you will reach here today. Spokesman of Maulana Sami ul Haq conveyed our message to government committee but they rejected and insisted upon traveling on helicopter.

Anyways, governments committee was not willing to come by road so they did not come that day and Taliban committee had to wait for a day, next day weather became clear, and they arrived next day by enjoying the ride of helicopter.

Negotiations started with greetings behind the close door, government committee started the negotiations by putting allegations against Taliban , they tried their best to intimidate Taliban by their speech  so that Taliban would be forced to accept their demands but when Taliban started their talk, they presented pile of evidence  from Quran and Sunnah, every question was answered with arguments from Quran and Sunnah, even Maulana Sami ul Haq could not raise objections against evidences presented by Taliban.

Taliban spokesman said that this is not the time to on these small issues , lets pay attention to the real matter, well the discussion continued for some time, then talks again began after lunch and prayer break. Taliban were expecting that now talks on real issues will start but it was quite contrary to their expectations. Infact government committee only presented one demand which was to extend ceasefire. Taliban committee said, don’t worry about ceasefire, we will extend it, lets us talk on other points, top of which is release of prisoners, if you release some of our prisoners and we release yours, this will build more confidence. This will be a positive development in peace process. If only ceasefire should have been extended,was the purpose of the meeting, then this meeting would be useless.

But the government committee said that they don’t have authority for releasing prisoners, we are just here to extend ceasefire. Please discuss this issue. Taliban committee replied that if you don’t have any authority then why you were circulating lies on media that committee has full authority, look at us, our leadership has given us full authority, whatever we decide will be accepted by the leadership.

Now government committee became silent, they were insisting on the same thing again, they started describing benefits of extension in ceasefire, they were saying that if Taliban extend ceasefire then world will get the message that peace talks are proceeding successfully,

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Shaykh Hībat Allah Akhūnd Zādah: "Message of Felicitation on the Eve of ‘Īd al 'Aḍḥā"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

cr605sqwiaahf8d
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Allah is the Greatest; Allah is the Greatest; Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.  All praise be to Allah.
Praise be to Allah Who favored us with the blessing of faith and Islam as He sent down on us the best of His books and sent us the best of His prophets and legislated for us the best of His religious law. All praises be to Allah. All the good is in His Hand and all affairs return to Him. He creates whatsoever He wills and chooses. We have not the choice. All the glory is to Allah as well as all the  praises in this world and the world to come. His is the decision and you all return to Him.
I testify that there is no god but Allah. Alone is He and has no associate. I testify that Mohammed (pbuh) is His Servant and Messenger. He conveyed the Message and fulfilled the obligation and preached the Ummah and fought in the cause of Allah as it is due. May peace and blessing be on him and His descendents, the good and the pure ones and on his companions and followers and all those who duly followed him until the doomsday. After this, I would like to say:
Allah, the Almighty says:
“Therefore pray to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him)”. (Chapter:108, Verse:2)
(My) Believing countrymen, brothers and sisters-in-faith in every corner of the world.
Asalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh,
While wishing you (good) health, happiness and prosperity, I would like to extend you my felicitation on the occasion of the auspicious Eid-ul-Adha. May Allah (SwT) accept in His Sight all your worships, sacrificial offerings, charities and all deeds that you have done for the pleasure of Allah (SwT). In addition to the felicitation of the auspicious Eid-ul- Adha, I would like to congratulate the Mujahid people, particularly, the Mujahideen of the Way of Truth on the recent victories which the Almighty Allah has bestowed on the formations of Jihad because of His special blessing and the help and the sacrifices of the Mujahideen and the help of the people, notwithstanding the use of heavy force by the enemy; the influx of foreign troops and the bombardment of different bombers. Still many districts and areas have been cleared from the enemy in different provinces of the country. Praise be to Allah, the white flag of the Islamic Emirate is fluttering there.
(My) Mujahid Brothers,
At the first years of the occupation, our obligation was to combat against the enemy but now as we have control over many areas of the country, it is the time that we should reap the fruit of the 15 years-long jihad and implement objectives of jihad which are: implementation of the Divine Sharia on the land of Allah; to establish justice; maintain stability and security; to protect frontiers and defend life, property, honor and all other God-given rights of the countrymen.
The officials of the Military Commission, governors, the  personnel of the judicial courts, members of the provincial commissions, the district administrators and commanders of (armed) units and all personnel of civilian commissions should pay exclusive attention to the maintenance of security and justice, implementation of Sharia, efficient governance, promotion of religious and modern education and other works of public utility like roads, bridges, health affairs, drinking water, agriculture and trade and other public works. Stop those who harm these places of public utility so that (our) believing people may lead a bright, happy, sufficient and prosperous life under the shadow of the sovereignty of Sharia and take a breath of relief in an atmosphere of peace.
For Mujahideen in order to succeed in this big trial, they should specifically pay attention to these points:
–Make your intention purely for Allah and for the cause of Allah (SwT);
–All should adorn themselves with the ornaments of piety, both the juniors and the seniors;
–keep on praising Allah (SwT) that He enabled you to perform the sacred obligation of Jihad;
–Do justice and do favor;
–Desist from pride, vanity conceit, wrong-doing and treason and keep away from any bias based on ethnicity, geography, language and clique;
–The criterion for  privilege should be only piety and commitment;
–Create an atmosphere of confidence and brotherhood among yourselves and avoid from acts leading to distrust among you;
–The Mujahid brothers should not abandon the obligation of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice. Conduct your prayers in congregation and desist from committing treason in Baitulmal ( public treasury);
–Assume sponsorship of the families and children of martyrs and prisoners in the best manners that can be;
–Never forget the Sharia-based way of conduct of your demised, beloved and kind leaders, Amir-ul-momineen Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid (may Allah bless him) and Martyr Amir-ul-monineen Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Mansoor (may Allah bless him) and meticulously adhere to their ways. Deem  it as (your) religious service and a high goal to serve people and provide prosperity and comfort to them because removing trouble of people is the most beloved act in the sight of the holy prophet of Allah (peace be upon him).
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque in Medina for a month”.
The Mujahid brothers should exclusively focus on purging their ranks and files. Do not let unscrupulous, notorious, self-indulgent, and money-grubbing and immoral persons remain in your ranks — those who misbehave with people. This is in order the people may not face harassment. Mujahideen should maintain interaction with honorable religious and spiritual leaders, tribal influential and pious men of insight; seek their views and advice and benefit from their experiences. In addition to military training, train Mujahideen how to well behave with people, prevent civilian casualties, maintain justice and win hearts and minds of people; instruct them from time to time about people’s rights and dignity. Mujahideen should behave well with those who leave the  (ranks of the)  corrupt Kabul Administration or are detained.
I instruct Mujahideen brothers to perform the duty of Call and Guidance, focus on alluring those who are in the ranks of the enemy, in addition to carrying out (your) Jihadic operations. For this purpose, the Mujahideen, the personnel of the Call and Guidance Commission, the personnel of the Cultural and Media Affairs, men of letters and learning should fully pay attention to (the work of) awareness and allurement; and besides the training of Mujahideen and the emerging generation, disseminate messages for those who are in the ranks of the enemy so that they understand the veracity and success of the ranks of jihad and become aware of their Islamic and valorous history and know the ills of subjugation and perceive that further remaining in the ranks of the invaders is but a harmful and destructive act.
We are grateful to all those beneficent people in every corner of the world who have helped the Islamic Emirate or trust this Jihadic formation, all those honorable religious scholars and writers who have affirmed and supported our cause or shared with us their best views or showed their sympathy with us or expressed their condolence during the demise of Amir-ul-momineen Mullah Mohammed Omer Mujahid (may Allah bless him) and Amir-ul-momineen Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansoor (may Allah bless him). I ask the Almighty Allah to fully reward them for their honesty.
Availing myself of this opportunity of the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, I call on all Afghans who work in the military and civilian sectors of the foreign invaders to ponder over their stance for a moment and figure out for themselves that the invasion of Afghanistan by America and her Allies is part and parcel of the global war of non-believers against the Islamic Ummah. Its aim is to dismantle real Islamic systems and help its trained surrogates to reach the corridors of power; to spread anti-Islamic laws, thoughts, and dogmas and cus   toms in this Islamic land. Therefore, they should deeply think over their jeopardizing position of their being in the ranks of the invaders. Their support to the invading non-believers is undoubtedly in contradiction with the command of the Almighty Allah and His prophet (peace be upon him). The Almighty Allah says:
“Let those who disobey His orders, beware, lest some grief or painful punishment befall them”.(Chapter: 24, Verse:63)
Our message to Islamic countries and all freedom-loving people of the world is that our struggle is not an illegitimate struggle, nor it is a rebellion for unlawful objectives nor a mere expression of emotions without any pillar of Islamic ruling. Contrarily, our country has been invaded and an anti-Islamic, subservient and surrogate regime has been imposed on us by dent of tanks, artilleries bomber aircrafts against the wishes of our religion and independence-loving and independent thought-loving people. The Islamic system and independence of our country is our human and religious rights. The Islamic countries and the freedom-loving people of the world should support our just cause as per their obligation and perform their due responsibility by supporting our oppressed people.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been continuing
