New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding Protection and Preservation of Ancient Artifacts”

l_DzlA8Q

The Islamic Emirate instructs all officials, commissions/departments chiefs, provincial and district governors, military unit and group commanders, the Mujahideen and all compatriots to take into consideration the following vis-à-vis ancient artifacts found around the country:

– As Afghanistan is a country replete with ancient artifacts and antiquity, and that such relics form a part of our country’s history, identity and rich culture, therefore all have an obligation to robustly protect, monitor and preserve these artifacts.

– No one is allowed to excavate, transport and sell historic artifacts anywhere, nor to move it outside the country under some other name.

– All Mujahideen must prevent excavation of antiquities and preserve all historic sites like old fortresses, minarets, towers and other similar sites so to safeguard them from damage, destruction and decay.

– As the Commission for Cultural Affairs is tasked with the duty of guarding and preserving ancient artifacts, all departments of the Emirate especially the Military Commission, governors and other Mujahideen must coordinate and cooperate with the Cultural Commission in protecting these artifacts.

– All type of trade, contracts and transport and transfer of ancient goods is henceforth forbidden. No one should try to disturb such sites or think about using them for profit.

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ for the Washington Institute: “The Tunisian Jihadist Movement Ten Years After the Prisoner Amnesty”

On February 19, 2011, Tunisia announced a general prisoner amnesty following the overthrow of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, in the process allowing 1,200 jihadists back onto the streets to organize. These individuals included 300 operatives who had previously fought in Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Somalia, and Yemen.

In the ten years since then, the country’s jihadist movement has morphed through various phases and is now at its greatest lull since the revolution, at least in terms of terrorist attacks. The current situation mirrors the movement’s pre-revolution status in other ways as well, with most of its fighters located on foreign fronts, most of its attack planners based in the West, and members imprisoned in multiple countries. The main difference now is that the number of those involved is much larger. And despite the government’s major accomplishments against jihadists over the past five years, it still faces formidable challenges related to reforming its security sector, judiciary, prison system, and governance problems—any of which could undermine the country’s ability to prevent a resurgence of the acute security threats it met from 2011 to 2016.
