As the struggle between the Mujahideen and the government of Mali has intensified more than ever and a foreign military intervention has also taken place therefore the Islamic Emirate, which has seen the results of foreign interventions and has a lot
of experience in this regard, calls on the Malian people and all related and involved sides to utilize such a mechanism and process which restores peace and calm in the country on the basis of Islamic principles and solves the quandary without any foreign intervention.
When France began its withdrawal process from Afghanistan in recent times it seemed as the French government would likely expand its anti-war stance to other regions of the world however it broke off its commitment to peace by transgressing militarily on the soil of northern African nation of Mali. France has launched war against the Muslim nation of Mali without having any legal jurisdiction.
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns this French attack on a Muslim nation and calls on all the nations of the world, governments and organizations to fulfill their due roles in stopping such transgressions so that the Muslims of Mali can solve their own problems by themselves. Such interventions and attacks are not only disastrous for Mali but also for France.
All the powerful countries of the world should take lessons from the failed American policy of military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq from which it cannot wrangle free or regain its lost status.

عقيدتنا ومنهجنا:
إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له ونشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له ونشهد أن محمداً عبده ورسوله.
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ} [آل عمران: 102]، {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيراً وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءلُونَ بِهِ وَالأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيباً} [النساء:1 ]، {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلاً سَدِيداً يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَن يُطِعْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً} [الأحزاب: 71 ].
أما بعد:
فهذه عقيدة ومنهج “جماعة التوحيد والجهاد في غرب إفريقيا” فيها بيان وإيضاح لحالنا وما اجتمعنا عليه، فهو دين الله تعالى الذي ندين به ونوالي عليه ومن أجله نجاهد ونعادي.
فنقول بعد حمد الله تعالى والاستعانة به:
– نؤمن أن الله تعالى جلّ في علاه لا إله غيره، ولا معبود بحقٍ سواه، مثبتين له سبحانه ما أثبتته كلمة التوحيد نافين عنه الشرك والأنداد، فنشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأن هذه هي أول الدين وآخره وظاهره وباطنه، من قالها والتزم شروطَها وأدى حقَها فهو مسلم، ومن لم يأتِ بشروطها أو ارتكب أحد نواقضها فهو كافر وإن ادعى أنه مسلم.
– ونؤمن أن الله تعالى هو الخالق المدبر له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير، وأنه هو الأول والآخر والظاهر والباطن، {لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ}، ولا نلحد في أسمائه تعالى ولا في صفاته سبحانه، ونثبتها له كما جاءت في الكتاب والسنة الصحيحة من غير تكييف ولا تمثيل ولا تأويل ولا تعطيل.
– ونؤمن أن محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم رسول الله إلى الخلق كافة – إنسِهم وجنِهم – يجب إتباعه وتلزم طاعته في جميع ما أمر به وتصديقه والتسليم له في جميع ما اخبر به، ونلتزم مقتضى قول الله تعالى فيه: {فَلاَ وَرَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَجِدُواْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيما} [النساء: 65].
– ونؤمن بملائكة الله المكرمين، وأنهم لا يعصون الله ما أمرهم ويفعلون ما يؤمرون، وأن حبهم من الإيمان وبغضهم من الكفران.
– ونؤمن بأن القرآن كلام الله تعالى بحروفه ومعانيه، وأنه صفة من صفات الله تعالى ليس بمخلوق، ولهذا وجب تعظيمه ولزم اتباعه وفُرض تحكيمه.
– ونؤمن بأنبياء الله تعالى ورسله أجمعين، أولهِم آدم عليه السلام وخاتمِهم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، إخوة متحابين بُعثوا برسالة توحيد رب العالمين.
– ونؤمن أن السنة هي الوحي الثاني، وأنها مبينة ومفسرة للقرآن، وما صح منها لا نتجاوزه لقول أحد كائناً من كان، ونتجنب البدع صغيرَها وكبيَرها.
– وحبُ نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم فريضة وقربة، وبغضه صلى الله عليه وسلم كفر ونفاق، ولحبِ نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم نحب أهلَ بيته ونوقرهم ولا نغلوا فيهم ولا نَبهتهم.
– ونترضى عن الصحابة كافة، وأنهم كلهم عدول، وبغير الخير عنهم لا نقول، وحبهم واجب علينا وبغضهم نفاق عندنا، ونكف عما شجر بينهم، وهم في ذلك متأولون، وهم خير القرون.
– ونؤمن بالقدر خيره وشره كُل من الله تعالى، وأنه سبحانه له المشيئة العامة والإرادة المطلقة، وأن ما شاء الله كان وما لم يشأ لم يكن، وأن الله تعالى خالق أفعال العباد، وأن للعباد اختيار أفعالهم بعد إذن الله، وأن قضاءه وقدره سبحانه لا يخرج عن الرحمة والفضل والعدل.
– ونؤمن أن عذاب القبر ونعيمه حق، يعذب الله من استحقه إن شاء، وإن شاء عفى عنه، ونؤمن بسؤال منكر ونكير على ما ثبت به الخبر عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، مع قول الله تعالى: {يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة ويضل الله الظالمين ويفعل الله ما يشاء}.
– ونؤمن بالبعث بعد الموت وباليوم الآخر، ونؤمن بعرض الأعمال والعباد على الله تعالى، ونؤمن بيوم الحساب والميزان والحوض والصراط، وأن الجنة حق والنار حق.
– ونؤمن بأشراط الساعة، ما صح منها عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأن أعظم فتنة منذ خلق الله آدم عليه السلام وحتى تقوم الساعة هي فتنة المسيح الدجال، ونؤمن بنزول عيسى عليه السلام قائماً بالقسط ونؤمن بعودة الخلافة الراشدة على منهاج النبوة.
UPDATE 1/6/13 5:17 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:
Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa declare the forming the Ansar Al-Sunnah brigade which consist basically from sons of the region from the region especially Songay tribes, as well as forming four military companies:
1- Abdullah Azzam Company
2- Zarqawi Company
3- Abu Al-Laith Al-Libi Company
4- Martyrdom Seeker Company
This new organizational structure comes as result for widening the influence of the Jamaat and its control on the many regions and cities of north Mali and the increase in the number of the fighters in our ranks.
The brigades and companies of the Jamaat will be distributed in a way that align with the challenges that the region is facing internally and externally, in anticipation for any surprises that could occur for the security breach of foreign countries to the Jihadi project, especially Algeria that seek through special parties and tribal figures to secure it from the strikes of the mujahidin and in an attempt to weak the Jamaat by dividing its ranks and strike its unity by declaring the split of Salāh ad-Dīn brigade from the Jamaat, we deny that all the members of Majlis Shura of Salāh ad-Dīn brigade have agreed to this split as well as the fighting soldiers, but rather it is an individual act for the Amir of the brigade (Abu Ali Al-Ansari) and some of those close to him and it is an act that no doubt isn’t primarily in the interest of the efforts spent to unite the Jihadi factions that were set previously in a framework agreed upon by coordination, management and some military action mechanisms and joint action.
Therefore Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa understands well the intended attempts that are weaved by certain parties to drag it to change its strategy towards the apostate regimes and taking the path of the negotiations with the Malian authorities, because it is the demand of some of the peoples of the region and it was what the Amir of the Salāh ad-Dīn brigade called for before declaring his spilt.
Thus Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa pledges to launch attacks of wide geographical extension that targets the states of the apostate regimes that participate in preparing for the invasion of north Mali, after in the previous stage the throne of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad was broken and following its remnants and the activity of the Mafias of drug smuggling was weakened.

Allah Akbar, and to Allah belongs the might and to His Messenger and to the believers.

الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى اله وصحبه وسلم تسليما كثيرا اما بعد:
Jamaat Ansar Al-Din follows carefully and watches the volatile situation in the corridors of the regime in Bamako, which resulted removing and arresting the prime minister of the transitional government, these events that occurred in the midst of talks sponsored by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), represented in the president of Burkina Faso, and the group sees that this step has strong connotations, that suggest that the rulers of Bamako are aware that they are walking in the wrong direction, since the deposed prime minister was from the most ardent for the aggressive campaign against the people of Azawad, and he had declared that clearly in all his media appearances, underestimating all the steps that indicate good faith, which were expressed by the negotiators of the Azawadi people, including Jamaat Ansar Al-Din, for the sake of reaching a peaceful solution, that spare us the horrors of war.
As we consider this daring step a positive action that pours in the framework of moving the pending issues, and moving it ahead, but at the same time we see it insufficient, rather there should be revving of similar steps, which we see that they prevent the region serious crises, that any future government assigned should take into account, these steps include the following:
1. Stopping the repeated barbarian assault against our unarmed people, that was under the sponsorship and supervision of the former racist government, and that was confirmed by its recognition of these crimes and not investigating them, to punish the perpetrators, and instead of that the defense minister comes out with provocative statements, justifying the killing of the innocents that he is protecting his territory, despite that he is incapable of securing the surrounding of his office, and the alleys of his cities which turned to a theater for organized crimes.
2. Continuing to silencing the aggressive racist voices that call for foreign interference, and assault on our people without any guilt, and remove them from the decision making posts, so that the voice of reason and wisdom can prevail.
3. Dealing seriously with the ongoing negotiation file, and changing the traditional transcendent vision, which the successive governments has consistently pursued, which considers the Azawadi people a pressure card to only bring the foreign financial aid, then turn a blind eye to it, and overlooking the legitimate rights of this nation, and on top of it its right to live free and in dignity, under the Islamic Sharia.
4. We remind the parties that are a driving force for the political situation that running behind the Western ambitions will do them no good, and the fate of those who gasp behind the colonial schemes will only be abandoning them, and throwing them in the corridors of oblivion, and you have a lesson in the icons of the repressive regimes, who were an obedient servant to the colonial powers against the interests of its peoples, and in particular the icons of the former Malian regime, who built its glories on the carnage and skulls of the our oppressed people in Azawad, for decades.
5. We renew our conformation to choose the possible peaceful solutions, that don’t contradict with our Islamic fundamentals and principles, and have a benefit to our nations. And we express our readiness to listen, discussion and negotiate, with any serious party that seeks a peaceful solution without antagonizing other on us.
وبالله التوفيق والحمد لله رب العالمين
