Eighteen years ago today, America launched an invasion against our homeland (Afghanistan) under flimsy excuses and without any proper justification.
The American invaders used the September incident as a pretext even as it had no relation with Afghanistan nor were any facilities present in Afghanistan where such actions could be organized and executed.
Instead of adopting dialogue and tact or accepting the offer of Islamic Emirate of peacefully resolving the issue, America heedlessly attacked Afghanistan on the 7th of October 2001, initially launching the invasion by air followed by using a few incompetent pseudo-Afghans as ground troops.
The Islamic Emirate also stood against this American invasion in accordance with its national and religious obligation and began Jihad against the aggressors with reliance upon Allah (SwT) and support of its nation.
It has now been eighteen years and the American occupation continues as they kill our people, perpetrate unimaginable horrors through ground and air operations and seek to forcefully impose their corrupt, failed and servile regime upon the Afghans.
But the scope of Jihad and struggle has also expanded the breadth of the country as Afghan sacrifices and heroics oppose the American invaders and their supporters like impregnable walls and neutralize all their schemes, plots, stratagems and military efforts, and all praise belong to Allah (SwT).
Currently, the Afghan war has transformed into an open wound for the Americans. Tens of thousands of their troops have been killed and maimed and billions of dollars spent but they have yet to achieve any of their objectives in Afghanistan.
We and the entire world understand that the occupation of Afghanistan and continuation of war is causing America enormous human and material losses on top of damaging its prestige. It has ended the international political standing of America, extracted the world from a unipolar order and inflicted humiliation upon a great military alliance like NATO.
America herself and specifically her war-mongering circles and generals are responsible for this fiasco as they insist upon war in order to find a market for their military industry and fleece their own citizens under the name of aiding Afghanistan.
The American public shall continue enduring daily harm under these conditions and so will it inflict suffering upon the valiant Muslim Afghan nation.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan – in accordance with its rational and principled policy – calls on the American invaders to stop missing out on further opportunities as the past eighteen years, end the futile use of force and power, take sincere steps towards finding a logical pathway forward and safeguard itself from further international ridicule, shame and humiliation.

We held productive negotiations with the US negotiation team and finalized an agreement. The American team seemed content with the progress up until yesterday as we ended our talks in good atmosphere and both sides began making preparations for the announcement and signing of the agreement.

Intra-Afghan negotiations were scheduled for the 23rd of September following the announcement and signing of the agreement

Regional and international countries and organizations had also shown support for this process.

Now, as President of the United States has announced suspension of negotiations with the Islamic Emirate, this will harm America more than anyone else. It will damage its reputation, unmask its anti-peace policy to the world even more, increase its loss of life and treasure and present its political interactions as erratic.

The Islamic Emirate proved to the world through continuing negotiations that this war has been imposed upon us by others and if talks are given precedence over war, we will follow it through till the end.

Such a reaction towards a single attack just before the signing of an agreement displays lack of composure and experience. This even as attacks by the US and their domestic supporters prior martyred hundreds of Afghans and destroyed their assets.

Invitation of a visit to the United States by President Trump was extended by Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad at the end of August and we had put it off until signing of the agreement.

The Islamic Emirate has a solid and unwavering policy. We called for dialogue twenty years earlier and maintain the same stance today and believe America shall return to this position also.

Our previous eighteen-year resistance should have proven to America that we will accept nothing less than the complete end of occupation and allowing Afghans to decide their own fate. And we shall continue our Jihad for this great cause and maintain our strong belief in ultimate victory, Allah willing.
