Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

EN_eid

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

Praise be to Allah, The Sustainer of the Worlds. Blessing and peace be on Mohammad, the Messenger of Allah, on his descendents, companions and those who like them and follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment.
Having said that, I would like to proceed:

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the Rejected One.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

“They seek to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will complete His light, much as the disbelievers may dislike it.” (61:8) the Holy Quran.
Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no God except Allah. Allah is the greatest and Allah is the greatest. Praise be to Allah (swt).
(My) Believing Countrymen and all the Islamic Ummah!
Peace be on you and the Mercy of Allah and His blessing.
Before proceeding further, I would like to extend my (heart-felt) felicitation to you all on these auspicious days of the Eid-ul-odha. May Allah (SwT) accept in His Sight, the worships of all, in particular, the pilgrimage of the revered pilgrims, the sacrifices of the Mujahideen, the martyrdom of the martyrs, (the sufferings in) detention of the detainees and of the injured. I pray to Allah to give patience and reward to the families of the martyrs and, through His blessing, pave the way for release of the detainees and bestow fast recovery on the injured. May Allah favors (us) all with an Islamic system, prosperity and tranquility.
(My) Muslim Brothers:
We are celebrating these days of festivity of Eid-ul-Odha in a time that, at world’s level, the Islamic Ummah as well as our country are facing many problems. On the one hand, the invasions, machinations and brutal activities of the enemies are continuing against the Ummah, on the other hand, the diseases of internal frictions, aversions, dispersion, betrayal and entanglement in the cobwebs of the enemies have reached the very fabric of the body of the Ummah.
The auspicious and magnificent congregation of Hajj (pilgrimage) teaches (us) to throw away (the impression from) the misinformation of the enemies, any diabolical perceptions, baseless skepticism, tribal, lingual, geographical, ethnical, religious and other prejudices from our mind. Similarly, part ways with selfishness, pessimism and dissensions; show sympathy with each other under the very blessed motto of Islam and, by this way; solve all adversities and problems of the Ummah.   Let’s hold fast to Islam and seek the path of a real rescue on the basis of the instructions of Islam.
(My) Valiant and Devoted Mujahideen of the Path of Truth.
The might of the enemy has begun melting as a result of the help of Allah (SwT), your selfless sacrifices and the strong support of the people. If God willing, the moments of victory is coming ever near with the passage of each day. Celebrate these moments by rendering thanks to Allah (swt) and service to your people. Thus we’ll become eligible for more Divine blessing. My advice to all Mujahideen is to stand up to the enemy firmer than before; deal them a crashing blow and woo people to your side on an unprecedented manner, so that,   we will attain the lofty goal of liberation of the country and an all Afghans –inclusive Islamic system, consisting of qualified individuals—a system for which we have been waging the holy Jihad for years on.
Believing Afghans.
On the eve of Eid-ul-Odha of this year, I would like to share with you afew points about the current adversities in the country as follows. The invaders illegitimately shed blood of tens of thousands of Afghans during the past twelve years; put tens of thousands of them behind the bar and bombed cities, religious seminaries and mosques. They frequently perpetrated blasphemy against the sacrosanct of the Muslims, particularly, desecrated the Holy Quran. Moreover, they plundered vital mines of our country; slapped an incompetent and powerless administration on our people with its high-ranking rulers being regularly involved in corruption, embezzlement, land-grabbing, narcotics trafficking and production, rummage sale of forests, mines and historical relics.
These crimes are part and parcel of a precisely worked-out program of the invaders, by which, they want to pave the way for continuous presence and tangle the Afghans in a state of dearth and need. As to the field of culture, media and rearing,   they have also launched programs aimed at causing a spiritual collapse and notion aberrations of the people. Certain media outlets, with funding from   the invaders,   are focusing to impose the   non-veil and all mingling culture of the West on the Afghan people under the name of rights for women and youth and would like to alienate them from their Islamic principles and national culture;   to flare up tribal, geographical and lingual animosity among the people and erode their mutual unity. This is being done to make their presence here permanent and facile as well as the occupation.
The Kabul Administration and the invaders are not only bent on playing havoc with Afghanistan domestically,   but are marginalizing the country at regional and global level by signing colonial agreements and thus procure reasons for continuation of the war. Therefore, the invaders and their allies should understand that the strategic agreement will accompany grave consequences for them. Though they may get these documents rubberstamped by a fake Loya Jirga but it will not be acceptable to the Afghans. Throughout the history, the real representatives and Loya Jirgas of the country have never signed documents of slavery. So those who would sign this (document), could not be called a representative Loya Jirga of the country. Their decisions are not acceptable. The invaders should know that their limited bases will never be accepted. The current armed Jihad will continue against them with more momentum.
In order to fulfill our religious, national and humane responsibility, and ensure the survival of Afghanistan; maintain security of the region and the world; in order to obtain independence , honor and political liberty for the people; in order to catapult the people from this dangerous conditions , ( it is necessary that) the Afghans join hands with each other and make concerted efforts to put an end to the invasion, to all adversities, aversions and the shameful situation and pave way for establishment of an independent Afghan Islamic system .
The Afghan people could not be enticed by the ( current)   conspiracy of misleading people under the name of elections in the shade of the occupation in the country because, those figures are active in these elections who are catering only to personal interests and the interests of the invaders rather than the Islamic and national interests. Even some of them are trying to distort the very principles of the sacred religion of Islam in order to reach the corridor of power and to please the non-believers.
The people know that some foreign stooges are playing with their destiny. The votes of the people have no value in the elections nor will participation benefit. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate rejects these elections and urge the people to avoid participation in them because this is only a drama being played by the invaders to attain their goals.
As a principle, the Americans and their allies do not believe in elections. They commit themselves to the results of elections when their interests are ensured, but when   they are not, then they do deprive (human) societies of their elected governments. There are many examples on hand. However, the fresh and living example is that of the Egyptian elections. Every one saw what they did with the elected government. Thousands of Egyptian Muslims who were seeking to get their legitimate rights through peaceful ways were martyred, injured or detained. This process has been continuing while the advocates of democracy are watching!
Honor-loving Afghans!
Recently, the invaders and their allies have been making efforts to show that defense of the sovereignty of the Islamic country– the Jihad and resistance against the invaders — is an illegitimate act. This is to distract the attention of the world and (our) people from the occupation of the land of the Afghans and label the struggle against the occupation as a domestic war. Thus they are trying to hide the broad day light with their fingers. The Kabul Administration wants to put forward futile justifications for the direct military and multi-faceted invasion of 49 countries by convening phony conferences attended by some hangers-on figures. But the incumbents of these conferences must understand that, if God willing, the moments of victory of the Afghan people– i.e. the defeat of the invaders and establishment of an independent Islamic system– has reached with the help of Allah (Swat). That is why their futile and vain efforts will be of no avail.
Praise be to Allah, the Afghan Mujahid people are now aware of the realities. They will not fall prey to your machinations. Therefore, we call on all those who support the invaders or have joined their ranks but not deliberately, to disband their support like thousands of your fellows have done so far. The vast embrace of the Islamic Emirate is always open to you. Is it not rationale to side with your people where your death and life will become a symbol of pride for all, instead of losing your life in the ranks of the non-believers where you will relinquish your faith and the worldly life?
We call on our Mujahideen to use the good office of the religious scholars, tribal elders and notables to exhort soldiers of the military and police and the Arabakis to join the ranks of the people by abandoning the ranks of the invaders

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the UN Mandate to Extend the NATO Mission in Afghanistan"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Regretfully, the United Nations Security Council on Thursday extended the mandate of NATO mission in Afghanistan to continue the occupation of this country, spill the blood of Afghans, killings, vexing, bombardment, raids and savagery for another year. The Islamic Emirate reacts to the decision of the United Nations in the following points:

1.We strongly condemn the decision of the United Nations Security Council which extended the mandate of foreign NATO invaders to continue the occupation and killings in Afghanistan for one year.

  1. 2.Just as everyone of is aware that for the past 12 years, foreign invaders and especially NATO have been oppressing our countrymen, bombing their homes, unlawfully detaining, torturing and vexing people and have carried out various war crimes therefore the decision of the United Nations to extend the mission of the criminal NATO in Afghanistan for another year means that this organization will be directly responsible and involved in the future crimes of NATO and other foreigners due to them providing the approval.
  2. 3.We strongly reject the attitude which characterizes Afghanistan as a threat to the world. Afghanistan is not a threat and danger to anyone. Our history proves that problems have not been created for other nations from our soil but rather it is others who have aggressed against us from time to time and haveforced us into resisting in our own soil.
  3. 4.The foreign invaders which have aggressed against us under whatever cover and title have not been able to break the self-determination of our people nor have they achieved anything in the past twelve years hence the NATO invading forces will also not reach their selfish goals by extending their mission for another year. Without a doubt, the losses of NATO and other foreigners will only increase here and their troops shall continue to live under our unrelenting strikes.
  4. 5.We urge all free nations especially the Muslims of the world to condemn this step of the United Nations and to actively support the legal demands of the oppressed Afghans.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Clarification Regarding Rumors About the Release of the Honorable Mullah Baradar Akhond"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


A hot subject spread by media outlets in the recent past has been rumors regarding the release of the honorable Mullah Baradar Akhond (may Allah hasten his release) which say that he has been released from prison and is living with his family and some media outlets have gone as far as claiming that he is busy in political activities.
However and with great regret!! he is still spending days and nights locked up behind bars in worrisome health conditions which are deteriorating by the day.  The Islamic Emirate and his family believe it to be his legitimate right to be freed under humanitarian and Islamic sympathy from his wrongful imprisonment and due to his deteriorating health condition and also calls for his immediate release. Since high ranking Pakistani officials have repeatedly made statements about his release despite him being in detention therefore we earnestly ask the Pakistani government and officials to give clarification and just as they have announced, he should be released and the subject cleared up.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the 13th Year of the American Invasion"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

On 7th of October 2001, the detested President of America, George W. Bush, trampled on all human and Islamic standards, began the invasion of Afghanistan and declared an open Crusade.

Bush, who had completely lost his senses and could not fathom anything except savagery and depravity, demanded the entire world support this odious war by either sending their armies or by providing financial and logistical support. That is when 49 nations including NATO, without having a legitimate warrant while failing to reject Bush’s stubborn terrorism and accepting the sound reasoning of the oppressed Afghans, unfortunately sided with Bush and practically invaded our beloved homeland in the form of an anti-Islamic coalition.
America and its coalition armies violated all Islamic and human norms and began the systematic torture, detention and killing of every Afghan who stood firm on his Islamic fervor and Afghan pride.
The barbaric Americans tortured thousands of Afghans in the prisons of Guantanamo, Bagram, Kandahar as well as in the internal and foreign secret and open prisons, thousands of other defenseless Afghans were martyred, massive bombs were dropped on their mud built compounds and even banned as well as poisonous weapons were used throughout the country.
But no international humanitarian organization or self proclaimed defenders of Human Rights pointed a finger towards these American and NATO brutalities in a proper manner and neither did the Security Council ever call a meeting with the intention of condemning the actions of these ruthless American and NATO armies or placing a blame on them!!?
America used every war stratagem through their well-known Generals to win the war in Afghanistan and used 850 billion dollars on its war machine however Allah Almighty defeated and humiliated them despite all these war maneuvers. They failed to make any progress in the war front and according to their own tally; thousands of their soldiers have died in this war, most of which are American.
The Mujahideen not only aborted and scraped every war technique and tactic of America, NATO and their stooges but established their own writ in the vast swaths of Afghanistan, limited and confined the foreign and internal enemy to their bases and government buildings and forced the arrogant enemy to accept the existence and presence of the Islamic Emirate in the political field while openly declaring that they are quitting Afghanistan and want to bring the conflict in Afghanistan to an end through talks.
Bush’s abominable war and repulsive democracy!! proved that they entered Afghanistan with over a hundred thousand troops only to bridge a gap between the Afghans and their religious and national traditions, endanger national unity and the existence of a unified Afghanistan, afflict Afghans with the hardships of poverty and destitution and finally to turn Afghanistan into the oven of fire and gunpowder!!
If America had not implemented these anti-Afghan programs and projects, then let it show what major development projects it has completed except the building of a few kilometers of low quality asphalt roads, most of which are built with the help of other countries? What positive economic changes have they brought into the livelihood of ordinary Afghans not counting those of a few of their own stooges?
On the other hand for the first time in the history of Afghanistan, the current regime in Kabul won first place in corruption, fraud, insufficiency, embezzlement, terror and savagery the foundations of which are laid by America and which is also an important achievement of the American invasion and Bush’s repugnant war.
What is even more fascinating is that after 13 years, the stooge president of the Kabul regime is only now asking America to endeavor wholeheartedly in the redevelopment and economic improvement of Afghanistan and that only at the price of signing the Strategic Partnership Agreement!!
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns the attack and invasion of America, NATO and other tyrannical regimes on October the 7th and considers it a black day like that of the Russian aggression on the 6th of Jaddi . We are immensely thankful to Allah Almighty for the victory which is at hand of the Afghan Mujahid nation and also for the approaching days of the uprooting and abscondence of armies of Bush and its international Taghut from our beloved motherland. May the Merciful Lord Allah Almighty accept all the sacrifices of the Afghans as well as every sacrifice of the Mujahideen their martyrdom in His Supreme Court and may He bring an end to the hardships of the Afghans with the blessing of their blood so they can have glorious Islamic government and breathe serenely.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Decree Regarding Release of List of Afghans Martyred by the Communists"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


New evidence has recently surfaced which testifies to a major crime in the series of atrocities committed by the Communist regime. A list has emerged detailing the mass killing of five thousand of our countrymen for the crime of being Muslims at the hands of the intelligence agency (AGSA) of the former communist regime.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as the true representatives of its Muslim nation and heir of martyrs, once again condemns this major tragedy with the strongest of words, promises its perpetrators will be brought to justice and condoles the inheritors, friends and families of the martyrs. The Islamic Emirate gave a great deal of attention to this issue during its reign. On the initial day of the liberation of Kabul, it brought to justice some of the notorious perpetrators of this tragedy. Similarly, the Islamic Emirate at that time took an unprecedented step by finding the Shariah ruling for these martyrs after investigations by the High Court and trustworthy scholars of the country and issued a decree by the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen considering all the missing persons at the time of the communists to be martyrs, requiems were taken and order was given to implement the Shariah ruling regarding their widows and heirs.
In another step the Islamic Emirate, after its air force forced a Russian plane to land in Kandahar while laden with equipment intended for the opposition and detaining its crew, put pressure of Russia during negotiations to furnish information regarding the missing Afghans and release them if they are still prisoners however it was regretfully learnt that none of the missing persons were alive but were martyred by the communists.
With this statement, we also release the decree (no. 43) of that time regarding these martyrs so that the readers can have access to full information about this issue.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Mass Killings in Syria"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


Everyone is aware that for the past two years, the oppressed Syrian nation has been burning in a raging fire; more than a hundred thousand men, women and children have died, millions have become refugees and homes and villages have been destroyed however it did not end there! but now chemical weapons have also been used against them.
On the 21/08/2013 in Ghawtha area near the capital Damascus, the Syrian regime brutally used chemical gas deployed in bombs which resulted in some 1300 innocent civilians, mostly women and children, becoming martyrs in the heinous crime, according to the tally of the locals.
The Islamic Emirate, while condemning this inhumane action in the strongest of terms, calls on the international community and especially the Islamic world to immediately put a stop to such crimes against humanity and take every necessary step to help the oppressed Syrian nation so to put an end to similar crimes from taking place in the future.
