New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Concerning the 43rd Anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

43 years ago today, on the 6th date of Jeddi, 1358 (Hijri Solar), Soviet Union invaded the sacred territory of Afghanistan and brought thousands of its occupying forces into our territory.

The 10-years long occupation and huge atrocities, thoroughly damaged our country, forced millions of Afghans to emigrate from the country, martyred and crippled; But all praise belongs to almighty Allah only, as our zealous and Muslim nation fought bravely, as a result of which, the Soviet Red Army suffered a great defeat in Afghanistan and our oppressed people were freed from their evil and occupation.

Meanwhile, this great event of history has the message that no arrogant power in the world should doubt the faith, challenge and determination of the Muslim and zealous people of Afghanistan.

It also proves that our people, no matter how oppressed and poor they become, but they have a clear history in implementing the order of their Lord (Jihad) and winning and maintaining the independence and freedom of their country.

The occupation of the British, Soviets and Americans and then their disgraceful defeat make this great truth clear.

The Islamic Emirate, while condemning once again the invasion of the former Soviet Union on our territory, calls on the people to always be ready to protect the freedom and independence of their land and not allow anyone to destroy our country, values ​​and nation. Conspiracies and wrong intentions have been carried out.

The Islamic Emirate is committed to continue its service and efforts round the clock for the defense and protection of its country, religious values ​​and the Muslim nation.

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the defeat and withdrawal of the Soviet Union’s Red Army from Afghanistan.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers this day a proud day in the history of Afghanistan for which it congratulates its Muslim and Mujahid nation.

Infect, freedom and identity of the countries depend on their heroism and achievement. All praise belongs to Allah, Afghans have passed this test three times during the last century and have achieved and maintained the freedom and independence of their country.

This third time libration of our country from occupation shows that the sense of independence among Afghans is still strong enough and they have determination and firm testament to protect their religion and country.

We hope the invading countries will learn a lot in the future from the continuous invasions of our country and regaining  independence in the last 100 years and will not chose the path of enmity and hatred towards our country and nation any more.

Afghans are peace loving people, but every time their peace has been turned into war by foreign invasions and disruptions and opportunities have been taken away from them.

We have no intention of aggression on territory and land of any country and we expect to live in mutual respect and peace with other countries.

The Muslim and zealous people of Afghanistan must be as sensitive and vigilant against all kinds of conspiracies and plots as they have been in the past and follow the path of your forefathers by maintaining strong Islamic commitment and national unity and preserve the freedom and independence of your country, Insha’Allah (God willing).

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding the 32nd Anniversary of the Expulsion of the Soviet Invaders From Afghanistan”

History is a witness to the fact that our beloved homeland Afghanistan has repeatedly been a target of great incursions and invasions, however no matter the magnitude, brutality and terror projected by these invaders, our believing nation has valiantly confronted and ultimately defeated the invaders with Divine Help of Almighty Allah.

Among these great interventions was the soviet invasion of Afghanistan which was challenged by our nation with extraordinary courage and Jihadic resistance, culminating in the soviet invaders retreating from our homeland in complete humiliation and humility on the 26th of Dalwa 1367 (Hijri Solar). We congratulate our faithful and noble people on the occasion of this historical day and beseech Allah (SwT) to accept and reward all the martyrs, displaced, maimed and Mujahideen of the previous Jihad.

The 32nd anniversary of the soviet withdrawal has approached at a time when the topic of end of current occupation of Afghanistan and withdrawal of invaders is headline of every news and public discussion. Availing this unique opportunity, we would like to call on all participants of the current occupation to learn lessons from the fate of the Soviet Union and failed experiences of the current two-decade occupation, and bring an end to their criminal invasion.

26th of Dalwa testifies to the fact that no matter the strength of occupier, it shall be doomed to failure in the face of the legitimate struggle of the Afghan nation. Thus, in order to prevent further bilateral losses, do today what will unquestionably be happening tomorrow.

To end, we would like to congratulate our proud nation on this historical day and give them glad tidings that our Jihadic claim is truthful and Allah (SwT) invariably aids the truth. Allah willing, we shall soon also be witnesses to the day when our homeland shall be completely free and rescued from foreign occupation.

Forty-one years ago today on the 6th of Jaddi 1358 (Hijri Solar), the pre-eminent imperialist power of the twentieth century invaded Afghanistan in order to annex our homeland, impose upon our people a vile ideology and beliefs, and turn this proud people into perpetual slaves.

The Soviet Union utilized the entire might of its Red Army and domestic surrogates to this end, bombed and grated every inch of our beloved homeland with bullets, and martyred, orphaned, wounded, imprisoned and displaced our defenseless and persecuted people, yet they still failed to attain their objectives – and all praise belong to Allah.

The Mujahid nation of Afghanistan fought the Red basilisk of the twentieth century with sickles, axes, improvised hand bombs and rusty rifles, endured displacements and hardships, offered martyrs, suffered imprisonments and various other travails and tortures but they neither abandoned their homeland to the Red Army nor did they allow them to trample on their values.

This Mujahid nation with the divine help of its Lord Almighty (SwT), indomitable resolve and extraordinary sacrifices not only defeated the armies of communism but also relegated the Soviet Empire to the dustbin of history.

The defeat of the Soviet armies and humiliation of their domestic puppets imparts a lesson that no matter whom tries to murder the Afghan people under miscreant, terrorist or whatever name, they will ultimately fail in imposing upon them their beliefs and ideology.

Afghanistan is the home of valiant Muslims and this Mujahid nation was, is and will continue to be prepared to offer every sacrifice imaginable in defense of their religious and national values.

The Afghan nation has neither harmed anyone prior nor does it intend to do so in the future but freedom, peace, sovereignty and safeguarding values in their own land are both inviolable and a necessity. Anyone who tries to become an impediment in this path shall be resisted valiantly and (this nation) maintains a prodigious capacity and resolve for fighting for their independence, Allah willing.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding the Defeat of the Soviet Union on 26th Dalwa”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

26th of Dalwa is a day in history when the Afghans – with Divine Help of Allah Almighty – defeated a global superpower while humiliating and subduing their Khalq and Parcham lackeys in front of the entire world.

It was on the 26th of Dalwa 1367 (Hijri Solar) when the last Soviet troops left Afghanistan by crossing the Amu River Bridge and with it our Mujahid nation sank the life boat of an international colonial bloc.

On this day the most weak and defenseless nation on the face of the earth defeated the savage Red Army whom, with the help of a few consciousless allies, tried to attain their goals by using all its power and carrying out unspeakable atrocities in our homeland that would horrify both the tongue and the ears.

The military and ideological invasion of our beloved homeland by the Soviet Union and their internal puppets began a three-decade cycle of tragedies. The crisis and calamities plaguing our country thirty-one years later have direct links with that disastrous communist experience.

If the current western invaders and in general NATO and their puppets have any sense then they should take heed from the defeat of the Soviet Union and their internal stooges. If they continue to insist upon their master servant policy then without a doubt, they shall be faced with the same disgrace and defeat which was faced by the followers of communism and of which they are annually reminded about every 26th of Dalwa.

This great historical day and incident proves that no amount of material effort, money, power or devious schemes can ever impose foreign doctrines on Afghanistan and the Afghans nor can it transform this Jihadic land into a client state.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers 26th of Dalwa a day of salvation for our homeland from the military invasion of the Soviet Union and its communist ideology and feels a sense of pride in this freedom. It also vows – as the heir of martyrs and pure aspiration of the former and current Jihad – to free our homeland from the current American invasion and its manifest evil and restore the glory and honor of this proud nation, Allah willing.

The Islamic Emirate – alongside congratulating its nation on the occasion of 26th of Dalwa – believes that the pure aspirations of our martyrs, orphans, disabled and displaced shall be attained with the blessing of the ongoing Jihad and this oppressed nation shall once again find salvation from the current calamities with the Divine Help of its Great Lord Almighty.

l_DzlA8Q

Forty years earlier on the 6th of Jaddi 1358 (Hijri Solar), the arrogant Soviet armies launched an invasion against our sacred Islamic homeland, Afghanistan.

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is considered one of the biggest human tragedies in modern history.

The ruthless communists began mass murder of our believing people, bombing of villages and indiscriminate destruction with an impression that they could succeed in imposing their evil system and ideology on our believing nation through the use force and brutality. Our people, however, presented unimaginable sacrifices to protect and defend their sacred values as one and half million compatriots sacrificed their lives in defense of Islam, a similar number were wounded, maimed, imprisoned or disappeared, majority of villages and towns were destroyed and our national foundations razed. But despite such calamities and the unspeakable horrors of the ruthless invaders, our believing nation was not prepared to forgo their values and accept the Soviet occupation. In the end due to the blessing of these enormous sacrifices, the Soviet invasion was repelled and they left our land in humiliation.

On this occasion marking the launch of the Soviet invasion, we remind the current invaders (Americans) and their stooges that your experiments of oppression and terror that you are perpetrating – the razing of villages, torching of homes, murder of women and children, imprisonment of believers and repetition of the experiences of Genghis, English and Soviets – have continuously failed and proven futile here.

Understand that this nation is prepared for death with honor but never a life of disgrace and persecution.

Therefore, learn lessons from past experiences and adopt the path of reason. End this unlawful occupation and leave our oppressed people to live a life of dignity and peace in accordance with their own values in their own homeland.

To end we condemn the Soviet invasion and ask the Almighty Allah (SwT) to grant all the martyrs of the Afghan Jihad Jannat-ul-Fidaus and may He (SwT) accept the hardships of all the martyrs, injured, maimed, migrants and Mujahideen – Ameen O’ Lord of the Universe.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Concerning the 39th Anniversary of the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

Thirty nine years ago today, the red army of the former Soviet Union launched the ruthless invasion of Afghanistan.

At the time of invasion of Afghanistan by the Red Army, the then Soviet Union had grand designs of subduing the world just as the United States harbors those dreams today.

Following the takeover of Eastern Europe, they wanted to reach South Asia and specifically the warm Indian waters via Afghanistan. But before they could reach those waters, they were engulfed by storms created by the blood of the Afghan resistance such that they even managed to lose control over the occupied central Asian states close to Moscow herself.

Today the Afghan Mujahid nation is denouncing the 39th year of invasion of the defeated Soviet Union in a state that with the blessing of their seventeen-year Jihad and resistance, the occupying American invaders are facing the exact same fate as the former Soviet Union as their military might is dissolved and they are facing humiliation on both media and political fields as well as being caught in a dilemma about staying course or abandoning the longest war in their history.

In reality that the 39th anniversary of the ruthless Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is lesson for American officials to learn a great deal from. Take heed from the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan and abandon thoughts of testing the mettle of the already proven Afghans.

The Islamic Emirate – while condemning the savagery of the Red Army perpetrated against the Afghans in the strongest of terms – praises and feels pride in the Jihad and resistance of its Muslim Mujahid nation.

And on this same occasion it advises the American invaders to adopt rational and understanding by withdrawing from Afghanistan and maintaining any future relations based on sound diplomatic and economic principles instead of testing might.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding The 28th Anniversary Of The Retreat By The Soviet Invaders"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
The 26th of Dalwa is considered a significant and memorable day in the history of Afghanistan and the region. On this very day of the year 1367 Hijri Solar, the withdrawal of the Soviet invaders was completed as the last soldier crossed the Amu River. We congratulate our Mujahid nation especially the Mujahideen fighting the current American invasion and struggling in the path of truth and independence on the anniversary of this historical day.
Before the invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union was considered the most powerful country on the face of the planet, feared by the entire world including America and NATO. However this super power was quickly battered following the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent Jihadic struggle of our nation, up until its final leader Gorbachev declared Afghanistan a bleeding wound for the Soviet Union that will not heal until all troops are withdrawn.
If we look at the current situation, the state of America in Afghanistan is exactly the same as that of the Soviet Union during the final days of her invasion. When we analyze the testimony of General Nicholson during the senate hearing, we arrive at the conclusion that the Americans also believe that the US military cannot achieve victory in Afghanistan and the only thing they can do is continue this exhausting and stalemate mission such that it will further erode American reputation on top of incurring human and material losses.
Scholars say, those who do not learn from predecessors will themselves end up becoming lessons for successors. The Americans need to take a lesson from the Soviet Union to heal the bleeding wound of the Afghan war and must think about withdrawal from this country with honor. But if they insist on war, then the experiences of the previous fifteen years adjudicates that the cost of this war will be further human and material losses and erosion of international legitimacy.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Thirty-Seventh Anniversary of the Soviet Invasion"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Thirty seven years ago today on the 6th of Jaddi 1358 (Hijri Solar), the Soviet Union launched a military invasion of our beloved homeland, Afghanistan.
The military invasion against our poor defenseless people by the international idol of communism put our nation in at a terrifying crossroads. While looking at their weak state and strength of the enemy, if they were to choose surrender in front of the communist infidelity , they faced the prospect of elimination of their creed, religious values and Afghan culture as well as the danger of losing the upcoming generations to absolute misguidance and irreligiosity like the other Muslims nations ravaged by communism. And if they were to choose empty handed resistance against a powerful foe then they would have to face heavy casualties, hardships, migrations and losses. Our believing nation began armed Jihad against the Soviet superpower in defense of their religion and beliefs and with the blessing of 14 year Jihad and immense sacrifices, they defeated the communist atheism and shielded their nation and the world from this deadly plague.
Today some deviated and superficial people consider the Afghan Jihad against the Soviets as a futile harmful war. However they do not realize that had the Afghan nation surrendered to the comprehensive communist invasion and accepted their atheist ideology and beliefs, what would their condition be today? It is known that today this nation would not have understood the proper beliefs and actions of Islam and like other communism ravaged Muslim nations, they would have lost their history and deviated from Islam ideologically, politically, educationally, culturally, economically and in all other aspects of life.
All praise belong to Allah that our nation chose worldly hardships, suffering and sacrifices and saved themselves and the upcoming generations from everlasting destruction.
On the anniversary of Soviet invasion on 6th of Jaddi – like how we condemn the dreadful tyrannical occupation of the Soviet invaders – we remind the American invaders and their allies of today to take heed from the fate of the Soviets. Just like how the Soviet forces knelt before this nation with all their might and wealth, the Americans will also follow in their footsteps. Instead of further testing force and prolonging the occupation, think about how to quickly end your tyrannical invasion. Leave the Afghan nation to live a life of peace and security so to heal the wounds caused by the thirty year war.
