It is with immense sorrow that we received confirmation that Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond, who was the minister of defense during Islamic Emirate and the deputy of Islamic Emirate during the current barbaric invasion of Afghanistan under the leadership of America, has passed away in a Pakistani prison. Surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return.

The honorable Mujahid was detained by the government of Pakistan on the 3^rd of January 2007 in the province of Balouchistan while on a visit after which his whereabouts were unknown for a long period of time until recently, when his family received word that two years from today, on March the 5^th 2010, the mentioned person passed away from heart complications while being held in a prison in the city of Karachi. To validate this distressing news, the family has attained trustworthy evidence which confirms his passing away however it is still not established if this distinguished personality of the Islamic Ummah and Afghanistan passed away due to heart complications or if he was martyred due to torture while being imprisoned.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, on the occasion of the passing away of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond, would like to extend its commiseration, condolences, and consolation to his distinguished family, all the Mujahideen and the people of Afghanistan as well as the entire Muslim Ummah. Just as the mentioned Mujahid devoted his soul in his Jihadi life and path to his Creator and Lord Almighty, we supplicate to Allah (SWT) to accept his martyrdom and grant him the highest ranks in Paradise (al Firdows). Similarly, we ask Allah (SWT) to grant his relatives patience and a great reward.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers the martyrdom of Shaheed Mullah Obaidullah Akhond a void for the entire Islamic Ummah and especially Afghanistan which cannot be compensated and vigorously demand from the Pakistani officials to give the complete and factual information of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah’s detention, illness and death to the Islamic Emirate. In this regard, we also hold the International Red Cross responsible as the news of the martyrdom of Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond was received after a period of 2 years and also for not providing any type information about the concerned martyr and others to the families of these prisoners of Islamic Emirate who are held in Pakistan and we also demand that they fill this shortcoming in the future as it is their obligation.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, at a time when all of the non Muslim states and nations have violated its country, considers it very unfortunate that it is targeted with such inhumane actions by some Islamic countries every now and again. Today, the Afghan nation is considered homeless, helpless and oppressed only because of their crime of Islamic valor. On the account of Islamic brotherhood, we call on all the Islamic nations and its people to behave in a brotherly manner with all the Afghan immigrants, travelers and prisoners in all parts of the world.

Wasalam

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Short biography

Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond was the son of the Al Haaj Mullah Yaar Muhammad Akhond Sahib and the grandson of a famous religious scholar of his time, the late Al Haaj Mullah Fath Muhammad Akhond. Al Haaj Mullah Obaidullah Akhond opened his eyes to this transient world in the village of Alkozo, Nalgham area, Zhiri district in the year 1388 hijri.

The late (may Allah have mercy on him) had just reached his teenage years when the rule of the soviet invaders was forced upon our beloved country.

During this period, the late (may Allah have mercy on him), due to his religious zeal joined the front of the famous Taliban commander, Haji Mullah Muhammad Sadiq Akhond and fought shoulder to shoulder with his armed brothers against the invading infidels and was quickly promoted as the head commander of this front after showing exceptional capability and sincerity.

It is said that during the hard periods of Jihad, the late (may Allah have mercy on him) was wounded multiple times and was once wounded in Mahlajat area of Kandahar city while fighting in the same trench with the esteemed Commander of the faithful, Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid. The late (may Allah have mercy on him) was busy with his armed struggle in Kandahar until the very last moments of Jihad against Communism while continuing it in the front of Mullah Muhammad Sadiq Akhond, which was famously known as the Taliban front.

During the factional chaos that ensued, the late (may Allah have mercy on him) was one of the first persons to endure various hardships from the initial stages of the establishment of the Taliban Islamic movement to bring order. Besides bearing other responsibilities for the Islamic movement, he also served as the commander of Kandahar corps until the liberation of Kabul.

One year before the liberation of Kabul, Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was captured by the fighters of Ismail Khan during a large scale offensive in Farah province on day of Eid but was released after a forty day period after a general prisoner exchange.

When the capital of Afghanistan was liberated by the Islamic movement, Mullah Obaidullah Akond (may Allah have mercy on him) was appointed the minister of defense by the Amir ul Mumineen.

Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was wounded seven times during his time with the Islamic movement while fighting on the various fronts and was fatally wounded the last time near Kalakano district center (north of Kabul) in which his neural system was also damaged.

When the capital Kabul and other major cities were evacuated by Islamic Emirate after the American attack, Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) also travelled to Kandahar from Kabul through Charasyab and Logar and with newfound spirit, presented himself with the initiation of Jihad and was later appointed as his deputy by the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen.

Mullah Obaidullah Akhond (may Allah have mercy on him) was also always busy in trying to complete his religious studies alongside his Jihadi activities and was even busy with studying books from Warha Dawrah (one year before graduation) right before being detained.

In the end, the righteous warrior and Mujahid of the right path gave up his soul to the caller of death while he had spent all his life in the service of this divine religion, Jihad, learning and establishment of an Islamic government without any distractions. May his soul rest in peace and memory live on forever.

Surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return.

The representative office of United Nations in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has once again tried to portray the occupational forces in Afghanistan as the maintainers of security!! and Mujahideen as the cause of the conflict and insecurity however the ground realities, as seen by the people of the world are quite contrary.
In its annual report, UNAMA has written that in the year 2011, 3021 Afghan civilians were killed of which seventy seven percent (77%) were caused by Mujahideen, resulting mainly from changes in their military tactics whereas out of the remaining 23%, 410 civilian deaths were caused by the invaders and their puppets and the further 279 were not attributed to any particular party. The most surprising part of the report was that in 2011, only 63 civilian deaths were said to have been caused by the night raids of the invaders!!
The United Nations has been repeatedly trying for the past decade to cover the inhumane actions of the actual perpetrators of the ongoing Afghan war (occupational forces) and to give legality, in one form or another, to all their crimes while they (occupational forces) hold memberships in this very same establishment and blatantly step on all of its rules and regulations in front of the world!! but it still receives the nod of approval. If the UNAMA report is analyzed properly, it becomes clear that it is more about furthering a political agenda rather than human rights. What is even worse is that this report deliberately encourages the invaders to carry on playing with the honor, dignity, wealth and life of the ordinary Afghans.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on the United Nations to cease from sacrificing its prestige for America. Admit to the realities! Note that not much difference can be observed between you and the White House on many issues related to Afghanistan so much so that some of your policies directly follow those of the White House. So in these circumstances, it becomes natural for people to think of the United Nations as the supporters of foreign policies of America instead of it being an independent organ!
Another puzzling point of the report is that active figures of the Kabul administration that play key roles as the protectors and backers of the invaders who are targeted and killed by Mujahideen like provincial and district governors, police chiefs and others are classed as civilians while eyes have been intentionally turned away from those defenseless civilians who are martyred along with their families in the night raids and other barbaric operations of the invaders.
According to an investigative report of OS and TL foundations published in 2011: foreign troops carry out between 12 and 20 raids every night which has caused civilians human and material losses many times more than those figures stated by the United Nations. We would like to present a sample of the casualties caused by the invaders in night raids during 2011 to the chief of UNAMA as documented evidence and remind him that these are the figures published or confirmed by independent news agencies, western outlets and the Kabul administration. We also emphasize that the actual figures of civilian casualties caused in these types of operations are many times higher.
On February 20^th, news was published in which the governor of Kunar province (Fazlullah Wahidi) was quoted as saying that in Adra Gul, Sokie and Eigal areas of Ghaziabad district, 64 civilians were killed which includes twenty women and twenty nine children during bombardment by American forces, according to a report compiled later by an investigation team.
On the 1^st of March in Nanglam Tangi area of Manogi district (Kunar), media reported the deaths of nine children due to American airstrikes.

A famous tribal elder (Haji Sakhi Daad) from Darboom area, Maqur district (Badghis) was arrested while a famous spiritual leader (Sayed Haji Gul Jaan Agha) who had thousands of followers was taken out of his monastery and then martyred on 6^th of May.
On the night of 18^th May, invading forces martyred five civilians including women in Ahan Dara area, located at around 3 km from Takhar provincial capital of Taloqan. A large scale protest was organized by the masses after the incident demanding the release of detainees and trail of the perpetrators however one hundred and thirty five civilians were martyred and wounded by the police who indiscriminately shot into the crowd under the shade of democracy.
Initial reports on 25^th of May indicated the thirty civilians were martyred when the invading forces carried out airstrikes on Do Aab district (Nooristan) after it was captured by Mujahideen. In the reports which surfaced later, it was said that there were up to a hundred casualties but during the national Jirga, a representative of Nooristan said: three hundred civilians were killed and wounded in those airstrikes.
After a 4 day battle between Mujahideen and American troops in the adjacent areas of Watapur district (Kunar), large scale bombardment was carried out by the invaders while retreating from the area during 28^th-30^th June from which a few Mujahideen and twenty three civilians were martyred while several other civilians were left wounded.
According to media reports quoting locals from Nawzad district (Helmand), at least twenty six civilians were martyred when the invaders bombed the residents of this district on 22^nd of May. This incident was also confirmed by the invaders who asserted that six opposition (Mujahideen) were killed, a claim repeatedly rejected by the locals. Fourteen more civilians were also martyred in the same district by the invaders later on about which a spectacle was also put on by the head of Kabul administration Karzai: “If the coalition forces are to carryout the same actions again then the Afghans will view them as occupiers”. Even after the mentioned warning by Karzai, tens of other countrymen were martyred in the different corners of the country by the invaders, a crime which is still continuing.
On 6^th July, the occupational forces bombed a house in Samji area of Mando district (Khost) in which thirteen civilians were martyred. The police chief of this district also confirms this account and attributes the resultant bombardment on false information in which eight children, two women and three men of the same family become martyrs.
Sixteen civilians most of which were children were martyred on 12^th of May from airstrikes on Azra district’s Tanga Dara area (Logar). The spokesman of this district Deen Muhammad Darwaish and the provincial council member Doctor Abdul Wali Wakeel also confirm civilians were killed.
After a bomb which blew apart the armored vehicle of foreign invaders on the main road in Shniz Dara area of Sayedabad district (Maidan Wardag) on 23^rd of July, the invading forces shot into the civilians, martyring Doctor ‘Aqila Hikmat, her son and a member of her in-laws while 2 other family members were wounded.
