New release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Regarding Report By The US Defense Department”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

A report by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) compiled for the congress stated that the Islamic Emirate continues to support Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.

We strongly reject this report and consider it propaganda and unsubstantiated for the following reasons:

– The Islamic Emirate, in line with its own policy, does not interfere in the affairs other countries hence it does not seek to support anyone working outside the borders of Afghanistan in India or any other country.

– Afghanistan is under the direct occupation of America and its allies for the past nineteen years and the Afghans under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate are fighting a great war of independence and establishment of an Islamic government. How is it then possible that we support anyone outside our borders when we ourselves are engaged in such a burdensome war?

– The Islamic Emirate signed an agreement with the United States on the 29th February 2020 and is currently using all means at its disposal for its implementation and bringing comprehensive peace to Afghanistan.

On the aforementioned grounds, the Islamic Emirate does not support any foreign organization in the Indian Subcontinent or any other place.

It is very unfortunate the defense department has published such an irresponsible report or propaganda is conducted to confuse common thinking in such a sensitive time.

We call on American officials to remain committed to the Doha agreement, end propaganda based on false information and stop individuals in the US military apparatus from propaganda who still possibly seek war in Afghanistan for their own personal interests or the interests of defense companies.

New release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Concerning Allegations By Some Western Media Outlets”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

A number of western media outlets have published reports alleging that the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate received payments from Russia for killing American troops and other such rumors.

We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.

The Islamic Emirate has made use of weapons, facilities and tools in its nineteen-year Jihad that were already present in Afghanistan or are war spoils frequently seized from the opposition in battles.

The American forces suffered most of their losses from simple plastic bottles that were filled by the Afghans in their own homes with their own homemade explosives.

These rumors are being circulated to create hurdles for the departure of American troops, to weaken and confuse advocates of peace in America and to attribute the great heroism and achievements of the Afghans to foreigner circles.

We reassure our nation and the entire world that the Islamic Emirate is not a tool of anyone nor is it employed for foreign agendas rather it has sacrificed to protect its religion, land and greater interests and has accomplished everything with its own hands and initiative.

Such rumors can never change the stance of the Islamic Emirate. We believe that implementation of the agreement signed with the United States of America will ensure the goal of achieving comprehensive peace and we remain committed to it in the future just as we have completely acted upon it so far.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Regarding the Martyrdom of the Imām of Sher Shah Suri Mosque”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

In the continuing cycle of crimes by enemy circles, the Imam of Sher Shah Suri mosque in 4th Karta of Kabul city – Mawlawi Azizullah Muflih – was martyred in an explosion today, surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return.

The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns the killing, considers it a heinous crime and prays for acceptance of his martyrdom.

Such systematic killings have begun taking place as the Afghan people have started taking steps towards peace.

The enemy intelligence organs that fear the role of noble scholars want to eliminate those notable and astute scholars who are raising the general public and specifically the youth in the spirit of religion and freedom.

The martyrdom of the Imam of Wazir Muhammad Akbar Khan mosque, the late Muhammad Ayaz Niyazai, the attacks on people inside mosques during Ramadhan, bomb blast at a funeral, attack on a maternity ward, destruction of power pylons and damage to public infrastructure are all part of enemy designed malicious plans that are being executed at this sensitive juncture to spread fear, terror and disappointment and to hamper the peace process.

The Islamic Emirate warns perpetrators behind these attacks that you cannot hide from the Afghan nation and the day is not far when you shall be held to account for each crime, Allah willing.

On the other hand, we also call upon the noble scholars to be mindful of their security because the enemies of your creed and beliefs are very cunning and cold-hearted that will not hold back from any savagery and crime.
