New video message from al-Qā’idah’s Dr. Ayman al-Ẓawāhirī: “And They Will Continue To Fight You:

The title of this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 2:217. Here it is in full: “They ask you about the sacred month – about fighting therein. Say, ‘Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of God and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of God. And fitnah is greater than killing.’ And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever – for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.”

New video message from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Interview With Sahīl Shāhīn, Member of the Negotiating Team Interview, About the Latest Political Trends”

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Concerning the Tweet of Donald Trump About Negotiations”

l_DzlA8Q

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.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Concerning the Latest Comments By Trump”

l_DzlA8Q

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, while sitting with the Pakistani Prime Minister remarked that he could win the war in Afghanistan by killing ten million Afghans and other such comments.

Trump’s policy that he does not want to play the role of a police officer in Afghanistan and that this war against an entire nation cannot be won so long as they are alive is something positive however his claim that he can wipe out Afghanistan, kill ten million Afghans and win this war through such a method is irresponsible and we condemn it in the strongest terms.

This dream was taken to the grave by Genghis, British and the former Soviet leaders. On the contrary, their Empires were wiped off the face of this earth but the Afghan nation proudly endured and will continue to endure, live and remain proud, Allah willing.

America has never shown restraint in killing the Afghans over the past 18 years and has used all weapons of mass destruction including the Mother Of All Bombs. Yet the 18 years of force proved that the policy of aggression and tyranny is fruitless and demonstrates ignorance regarding why Afghanistan is called the Graveyard of Empires.

We believe that Trump should pay close attention to the actual cause of the problem instead of irresponsible comments and take practical steps towards finding a solution instead of failed policies and impractical hubris.

The believing Afghan nation has upright customs and a clear policy regarding healthy interactions and positive relations therefore it would be wise to focus on finding a peaceful and rational solution and advantage taken of the peaceful negotiation plan offered by the Islamic Emirate that is backed by the entire nation, as acknowledged by yourself.
