NOTE: Here is Mullā Muḥmmad ‘Umar’s (Mullah Mohammad Omar) statement on ‘Īd al-Fiṭr last year.

English:
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. All praises are for Allah (SwT).
Praise be to Allah Who did help His Servant (the Holy Prophet); honored His Army, Defeated the Confederation single-handedly; peace be on the Prophet after whom there is no prophet (to be advented). Having said this, I would like to proceed as under:
,I extend my (heart-felt) felicitation to the Afghan Mujahid people and to all Islamic Ummah on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitre and, meanwhile, I congratulate you all for the continuous victories in Afghanistan. May Allah (swt) accept in His Sight your fasting, Jihad and your sufferings in the cause of the Truth.
Availing myself of this opportunity, I want to share with you my views as regards some vital matters as follows:
Regarding the Current Situation of Jihad:
The enemies of Islam and Afghanistan had envisioned that the current year would be crucial for defeat of Mujahideen and for obtainment of the wicked goal of the enemy. Even they had raised hopes and expectations in their people and the world about a fundamental change in the status quo. Praise be to Allah, all their plans transpired to prove contrary to their calculations and assessments. The enemy sustained more casualties in soul and equipments this year in comparison with last years. With the passage of each day, the Mujahideen become better familiar with the enemy tactics; they are gaining access to hardware which is instrumental in causing greater losses to the enemy. All people are now witness to the tremendous life casualties of the enemy as well as the downing of their aircrafts. Furthermore, the growing cooperation of people; the infiltration of Mujahideen in the ranks and files of the enemy, the expansion of the area of Jihad to every part of the country; the growing escalation in daily operations and availability of accumulated tactics; the extermination of high level officials of the enemy both in north and south of the country, all these give us a good news of an imminent victory and a bright future.
If we compare the achievements of the current year’s operations which are christened as Badre with those of the previous years; if we ponder over the constant defeats and unprecedented moribund position of the enemy, we can reach a clear picture that points to the high morale of Mujahideen and an all-sided descent of the enemy.
At world level, the status quo is not pro-America as it once was in the past. The American economy is facing terrible problems more than before. People of NATO member countries are coming round to know realities of the war of Afghanistan with the passage of each day. A strong stance of opposition to this meaningless war takes roots in the minds of the public. The participant countries in the invading coalition withdraw their forces ( from Afghanistan) one after another. The regional countries and people have fed up with the gunboat policy of America. In brief, this situation indicates to the victory of our sacred Jihad.
Regarding the Withdrawal of Limited Contingents of American Forces from Afghanistan:
First of all, I would like to say that limited withdrawal of the invading forces can in, no way, solve the issue of Afghanistan. The Jihad will continue unabatedly, because superficial measures further complicate the issue of Afghanistan and can produce harmful consequences. The invading forces should seek a lasting and convincing solution to the issue by immediately withdrawing their forces.
Regarding American Permanent Bases in Afghanistan:
The Afghan nation is not ready to accept establishment of American permanent bases here. The Afghans consider military presence of the invaders whether it is in a greater size or a smaller, as a foreign occupation. If the Americans persist to display arrogance in this regard and do not pay attention to the demands of the Jihadic resistance and the people of Afghanistan, they would face the same aftermath as they are facing now following the decade-long occupation of Afghanistan that even they can’t feel consolation and respite in Kabul despite expenditure of billions of dollars and casualties of thousands of troops.
All people, particularly, the academic, political and influential figures of the country, should reach a common national stance in understanding with the Islamic Emirate against the establishment of bases of the invaders. Thus, they should prove to the Americans that all the nation have, in unison, opposing views about the permanent bases of foreigners in our country. Participation in the process of support for the establishment of the permanent bases, whether it is taking place under the name of Jirga or parliament, would only separate traitors from those committed to the religion and land.
Regarding the Future of the Country:
Our manifesto is that Afghanistan should have a real Islamic regime which is acceptable to all people of the country. All ethnicities will have participation in the regime and portfolios will be dispensed on the basis of merits; will maintain good relations with regional and world countries on the basis of mutual respect, Islamic and national interests. Such dispensation will entirely focus on conduits to recover the spiritual and material losses that have been caused by the three decades-long war. Since Afghanistan has vast arable land, rich mines and high potential of energy resources, therefore, we can make investments in these sectors in conditions of peace and stability and wrangle ourselves from the tentacles of poverty, unemployment, backwardness and ignorance, which give rise to other social and economic problems. Contrary to the propaganda launched by the enemies, the policy of the Islamic Emirate is not aimed at monopolizing power. Since Afghanistan is the joint homeland of all Afghans, so all Afghans have right to perform their responsibility in the field of protection and running of the country. The future transformations and developments would not resemble the developments following the collapse of communism, when every thing of the country was plundered and the State Apparatus damaged entirely. Contrarily, strict measures will be taken to safeguard all national installations, government departments and the advancements that have been occurred in private sector. Professional cadres and national business men will be further encouraged, without any discrimination, to serve their religion and country.
Regarding Negotiation:
The Islamic Emirate considers the presence of the foreign invading troops in the country; their blind-bombardment, night raids, their brutalities; tortures and tyranny as the main cause of the current imbroglio in the country. The issue would come to an end when the said brutalities are meted out. Similarly, IE considers establishment of an independent Islamic regime as a conducive mechanism for sustainability of religious and worldly interests of the country and the countrymen. For this purpose, every legitimate option can be considered in order to reach this goal. The contacts which have been made with some parties for the release of prisoners can’t be called as a comprehensive negotiation for the solution of the current imbroglio of the country. However, the Islamic Emirate, as an efficient political and military entity, has a specific and independent agenda in this regard which has been elucidated time and again.
Regarding the Coming Bonne Conference:
This conference will not be different from the conference held ten years ago because neither true representatives of the Afghan people have participation in it, nor attention is paid to a comprehensive and real solution of the problems of Afghanistan. Like the previous conferences and Jirgas, this conference is superficial and hypes- oriented. They want to distract the attention of the public of the world from the real solution of the Afghan issue for some time. Only those speeches and addresses are expected here which are already approved by the White House and Pentagon.
We advise all global actors involved in the issue of Afghanistan to seek a real and pragmatic solution of the Afghan issue instead of focusing on factitious and superficial solutions. They should realize the ground realities of Afghanistan; The Afghans have a splendid tradition for the solution of problems and understanding among themselves. But it is in a condition when foreign intervention does not exist. Considering it its legitimate right, the Islamic Emirate wages a lawful struggle for the defense of its religion, country and soil. The only reason for that being the presence of foreign invaders in the land. If the global invading coalition ends occupation of our land, the Islamic Emirate, as a peace-loving and responsible regime, will maintain positive relations with countries of the region and the world.
We advise all countries including the neighbors not to become part of any colonialist game concerning the future of Afghanistan, because it will serve no one’s interests. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as heir of two million Afghan martyrs, is determined to make independent decisions concerning the future of Afghanistan regardless of foreign intervention. Such decisions will be embodiment of the aspirations of the martyrs and our national and Islamic interests, dignity and honor of the Afghans.
We would like to make it clear to all sides that neither the Afghans accept imposed regimes nor

On 7th Jawza (May. 28), the heroes of Islamic Emirate were not only able to disrupt the meeting being held in Takhar provincial governor house between high-ranking foreign commanders, officers and their domestic lackeys but rather, they took out the head leaders of this meeting despite all the security measures taken by the enemy, in an unforgettable lesson.
According to reports, in this strike which shook the world, many foreign officers, soldiers and their puppets were killed as well as the German General Markus Kneip, the ISAF force commander in the north, critically wounded. As for the stooge provincial governor of Takhar province, although he may be breathing, it is ill imagined that his body will cooperate with him or that the occupying forces will ever use him as a tool again. The fate of the general commander of zone (303) of northern regions, General Dawood and the chief police of Takhar province, Shah Jahan Noori is also well known as they have now left this world and have received a proper penalty for their actions!!
This strike on Takhar provincial governor house by heroes of Islamic Emirate was a tooth breaking response to this foreign and domestic band who were readying their forces to carry out a large scale operation in the north against its Mujahid nation. In the name of wanting to rid the north of Mujahideen presence, this group had plans of bringing death, destruction, sorrow, fear and wanted to raid the homes of its proud people then take hundreds of youth, scholars, students, tribal elders and Mujahideen to Bagram prison for the crime of having the zeal of waging Jihad against the occupation.
But fortunately, Mujahideen struck the first blow and those faces who used to beat their chests and boast to the occupiers about securing the north in exchange for millions of dollars, were dragged forth and put on trial in front of the north’s oppressed Muslims by the courageous soldiers of Allah, who also managed to pulled down the idols built of treachery, betrayal and injustice by the foreign invaders.
The death and injury caused to these hired commanders in Takhar shook the foundations of Kabul regime’s security apparatus and also forced Karzai to cut short his trip to Turkmenistan. NATO also showed great sorrow about the death of General Dawood and called it a great loss in their statement.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while it calls these recent events inTakhar a strong groundwork of Jihad against the eternal enemies of Islam, the occupiers and their agents, it is also a reaction of the people of Takhar towards the foreigners’ injustice and brutalities which recently forced the people to take to the streets but the barbaric invaders along with their hirelings headed by General Dawood opened fire on them, martyring and wounding around 130.
We call on all those puppet officials and commanders, who have put chains of slavery of the foreign armies around their necks for a few measly dollars and positions, to recognize that you still an opportunity to find out about your obligation towards your country and religion, leaving the ranks of foreigners and to give Mujahideen, the soldiers of Islam a chance of bringing the crusading idol under the leadership of America to its knees and giving it a historical lesson in our proud and disbelief razing land. If you still choose to accept the slavery of invaders instead of siding with the Mujahideen, the recent Takhar event is a great lesson to learn from!!

Spokesman of the Governor of Kandahar told media on May 22, that he was wounded by firing of American troops when he was trying to enter compound of the Kandahr governor’s office. He admitted, the security situation of Kandahr has been aggravated; the governor’s compound’s security is handed over to American forces, following the recent law and order situation. He further maintained, it was agreed upon with the American forces that all office-bearers of the governor compound must be exempt from body search during their entry to offices. But despite that, they frisked his body, backtracking on their agreement. Not only that. They shot and wounded him.
The ISSAF office also confirmed injury of the spokesman of Kandahar in a press release, maintaining their forces have responsibility for the security of the Kandhar’s governor compound and every one has to go through body search. None deserves an exception.
No doubt. the security situation in Kandahar is graver than what it is being portrayed by the officials of the Kandahar province. The crisis is spiraling up to its climax and the situation running out of control of the Kabul Administration. The State Apparatus is in shambles; government offices and installation are laying abandoned and even low rank employees are not willing to go to their offices for days and, at least, sign their attendance-sheet book, let alone the high-ranking officials who are staying away.
The man in the street can’t imagine having their grievances addressed by this miserable and crumbling Administration. Generally speaking, if a government and an administration is not able to protect himself or itself and has the only option to hand over security of the governor compound and other sensitive offices to American troops, then what credibility that specific governor or administration will have in the eyes of the common Afghans? How is it convenient for a common Afghan to have recourse to that administration for mitigation of his grievances in circumstances that every inch of the governor’s compound is being watched by American brutal and moron troops and every body, whether the government officers or civilians, are not exempt from frisking. In such a situation, the governor will not have the audacity to issue instructions on applications of grievances of the commoners ( for fear they will not be implemented.)
We urge the spokesman of the governor of Kandahar who has been bodily searched by the American troops in the very premises of the compound of the Kahdanar governor and is now smarting from an injury with blood stained( on his body) , that is it not your moral duty, a rationale step and your national responsibility to call a press conference and announce the Kandahar administration has collapsed. There is no law, nor writ of the law and the officials do not show up at their offices. This is because the American deem it their rights to body search the high-ranking officials and even shoot them.
It is clear like a broad day light that in view of the prevailing situation, the power rests with some one else. No Afghan with free conscience will ever find any parameter to call the Kabul and Kandahar Administrations as a national government or a regime.

Claims and rumors were spread this morning by the Kabul stooge regime’s intelligence directorate, other officials and some media outlets that the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen was Martyred in Pakistan. We strongly reject these false claims of the enemy and we confidently encourage our fellow countrymen, Mujahideen and
the rest of the Muslims not to believe these intelligence lies and false reports. All praise is due to Allah, the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen is alive and well and is leading the Mujahideen in all aspects while living safely with reliance on Allah and with the strong backing and support of his believing nation. The enemy, with these kinds of rumors is trying to halt the devastating waves of ‘Badar’ operation and is trying to create confusion amongst Mujahideen, countrymen and faithful Muslims. With these kinds of false claims, the enemy is trying to turn away the focus of Mujahideen from their Jihadic activities while at the same time trying to boost the morale of invading and its puppet internal forces but such futile attempts will never make them reach their miserly goals. They should realize that the struggle against them is from a proud nation with strong determination who will not be turned away from their goals with mere lies and false propaganda. Our nation is an intelligent nation, who is aware of the tricks and lies of the devious and cunning enemy. No one will be able to stand against or create obstacles in the way of this nation’s aspirations and goals. God willing.

After the visit of Grossman, an American official, to Kazakhstan, the Kazak parliament decided to send troops to Afghanistan in support of the American occupation. Visibly, it seems from the abrupt and impetuous decision of Kazakhstan that rulers of that country have shown impetuosity and hastiness in taking the decision.
They have focused on protection of American interests instead of taking into account the aspirations of their people and the regional interests.
Kazakhstan obtained its liberation and got an identity after the collapse of the former Soviet Union at the hands of the Afghan people. In a way, they ( must) remain obliged to the blessing of the Afghan Jihad and struggle. Still, if they have opted to take part in the war of the illegitimate occupation of Afghanistan, it will be their historical perfidy and an act of impetuosity politically. Meanwhile, we believe, the dispatch of a few hundred troops will not change the fate of the invaders who are already on their way to defeat. Nor they will turn the defeat into victory. However, this step on the part of Kazakhstan will leave a long-term negative impact on relations between Afghanistan and Kazakhstan and the region.
The Muslim people of Kazakhstan should stand against this wrong policy of their rulers and should not let their believing Muslim sons fight against their Muslims brethren from the bulwark of Jews and Christians.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan reminds the Kazak government and people to reconsider their decision. Obviously, in a time that the invading countries of the world are trying to find justification to flee Afghanistan and the European parliaments are demanding withdrawal of their troops, the Kazakhstan decision to enter the war will yield nothing except negative consequences.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

On 18 May, tens of defenseless civilians were martyred by the enemy in Takhar province in the north of the country, as a part of the drive launched by the internal and external enemies all over the country to kill, maim and torture the miserable Afghans. The invading forces martyred 4 innocent countrymen including two women during a raid in Gaw Mili neighborhood, in vicinity of Talugan, the provincial center on May 18.
As a reaction to the incident, the brave people of Takhar took to the streets in Taluqan city to express their anger and wrath, demanding that their grievances must be addressed. It is to be said with great sorrow that the internal and external enemies of the Afghan believing people turned this indigenous popular agitation into a tragedy. According to a recent report from the Taluqan city, more than 25 demonstrators have lost their lives during the brutal firing of the foreign troops and the local hirlings while 100 of them have been wounded. It is ot be said that this incident is occurring in a time that many self-same incidents have taken place in the current month of May as follows:
While condemning all the past crimes of the enemy, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in the same terms, strongly condemns the acts of the foreign troops and soldiers of the Kabul Puppet Regime for their opening fire on defenseless people in Taluqan. The Islamic Emirate considers this an a horrendous act and unforgivable crime against humanity. The internal and foreign enemies of the people of Afghanistan must understand that such brutal acts will give a new impetus to the uprising instead of weakening the spirit of independence among the masses and will lift the curtain from their faces which are hidden under the spurious ( slogans) of philanthropy.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, through this statement, calls on the people of Germany to prevent their government and the invading troops involved in the incident in Taluqan from killing innocent Afghans and committing genocide. Similarly, the human-loving nations of the world should end their acquiescence because of their vested interests when it comes to the daily crimes that are perpetrated against the Afghan people by the invaders. Rather they should not let the invaders play with the life of innocent people.
The human rights organizations of the world should not harm their credibility at the hands of NATO invading forces by turning a blind eye to these atrocious activities. They should courageously expose the atrocities of the tyrants and should not opt to publish biased reports and figures as they did in the past—and thus embolden the invading forces in their brutal acts. Similarly, we call on independent and neutral media outlets, not to remain silent about these brutal carnages. Meanwhile, we are grateful to media outlets that raised the voice of the oppressed people regarding the yesrtday’s incident .
To end, we pray to the Almighty Allah to bestow patience, resolve and better substitute on the families of all those who have been martyred by the invaders throughout the country, particularly, the families of the victims of Taluqan incident. May Allah, the Almighty accept in His Sight the martyrdom of the martyrs and favor the injured with a speedy recovery.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
