Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
In the name of Allah, most Compassionate, most Merciful
In order that our countrymen participate in Eid prayers and other festivities with complete confidence during the joyous days of Eid, the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate must strictly comply with the following directives:
1 – All Mujahideen are directed to cease all offensive operations against the domestic opposition forces during the first, second and third day of Eid however if Mujahideen are attacked, they must defend with their utmost capability.
2 – Foreign occupiers are excluded from the above order. Continue your operations against them and target them wherever and whenever you find an opportunity.
3 – The Military Commission officials and provincial governors should mark inmates in their prisons and send findings to the leadership office about those who are able to find guarantors that they will not rejoin the enemy ranks and fight against the Mujahideen so that the leader may decide about their release.
4 – All the inmates present in the prisons of the Islamic Emirate – be they criminal or political – should be provided with facilities for Eid celebrations and be given meetings with their families and loved ones if possibilities arise.
5 – The Mujahideen should not participate in civilian congregations where there could be a danger of airstrikes so that our inhumane enemy will not be able to use it as an excuse for their blind bombardments and civilian tragedies.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Remarks Concerning Claims Of General Nicholson"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Yesterday the recently replaced commander of occupying forces in Afghanistan – General John Nicholson – made claims over the phone to journalists gathered inside the Pentagon that the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate are holding talks with the Kabul administration along with other such statements.
We categorically reject this baseless claim made by General Nicholson. The policy of Islamic Emirate regarding talks and negotiations had been frequently announced and it does not have any secret layers.
American General Nicholson is making such fabricated statements to divert attention from his failures and keep the Washington media busy with false claims instead of exposing the failed Trump strategy for Afghanistan to the American people.
Talking to impotent parties during the presence of occupying forces is pointless.
