New article from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Suppressing ISIS, Our Own Responsibility “

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Afghans fought for 20 years against the occupational forces of fifty countries under the leadership of the United States, in such a way that they proved predictions of all the wise people of the world wrong and finally forced all of the occupational forces to flee the country under the leadership of the United States.

In addition, they foiled all the conspiracies of the invaders and international intelligence that they used against Afghans during these twenty years, however, the most dangerous conspiracy, which was the last hope and strength of international intelligence organizations, was under the name of ISIS.

ISIS made unexpected progress in some specific areas of Afghanistan in a short period of time, but the sacrifices of the Mujahideen soon led to their defeat in all the places.

Through the  intelligence agencies of that time, ISIS militants were transferred to the cities and facilitated to settle in different places, and some of them were kept in prisons under different pretexts and cases.

After the Islamic Emirate came to power, ISIS carried out attacks in different places of the country,taking advantage of the opportunity and the temporary vacuum, and they targeted all the places that are regarded as soft targets, such as mosques, madrassas, bazaars, monasteries, etc.

But with the sole help of Allah Almighty, the Mujahideen targeted their hideouts and either killed or captured almost all of them.

Recently, some intelligence agencies tried to show that Islamic Emirate had support of some countries in the fight against ISIS or some statements come forward that are meant to applaud the efforts of the Islamic Emirate in fight against ISIS, to frame the defeat of ISIS as a shared and mutual objective between them.

We know what these statements and claims are for. This is a part of their campaign for ISIS and these are the raw materials that ISIS uses to recruit insurgents to their lines and ranks.

But we want to tell them that it’s water under the bridge now and everything is under our own control.

First of all, there is no active movement in the name of ISIS or any other group against the current system, and even if there are any ISIS seditionists, the special forces of the Islamic Emirate will have them by their collars and eliminate them one day.

In this regard, Afghans do not need the support and help from any country or any intelligence agency.

The Islamic Emirate has shown that they don’t need anyone other than Allah and can defeat their enemies with the sole help of Allah, and it has been proven in practice, as Afghans have successfully thwarted every act of sedition with Allah’s assistance.

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ for the Washington Institute: “ISKP Goes Global: External Operations from Afghanistan”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Over the past three decades, successive jihadist organizations have sought to conduct external operations beyond their local battlefields, often from safe havens abroad. The long list includes actors such as the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (when it hijacked Air France Flight 8969 in 1994), al-Qaeda (most infamously via the 9/11 attacks, but also through plots by local branches al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, al-Shabab, and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb), and the Islamic State (e.g., in Syria and Libya).

Today, the Islamic State’s Khorasan Province (ISKP) has adopted the same strategy in Afghanistan. Yet unlike many previous groups that relied on stable safe havens to gain more time and space for planning and training, ISKP has actually grown weaker in Afghanistan during the Taliban’s second year in power—while paradoxically expanding its external operations capacity. On the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the situation is a stark reminder that Afghanistan under the Taliban is a top vector for jihadist operations abroad.
