Exactly ten years from today on the 7th of October 2001, the arrogant American colonialists once again stepped on all Human Right conventions and norms, threw behind all respected principles for human freedoms and state sovereignty and attacked the independent soil of Afghanistan with full inhumanity.
Afghanistan has now reached its 10th year of occupation. A lot of the realities which were cloaked with propaganda of the western media ten years ago have now been exposed. America, with its criminal and colonial policies, proved in the last ten years of its occupation that its slogans under the names of democracy, assistance, peace keeping and fighting terrorism in order to meddle in the affairs of sovereign nations are nothing more than means for furthering their exploitative and colonial agendas. American invaders who see themselves as international standard bearers of peace have demonstrated through their ten years of occupation that in reality, they are the most self-absorbed, oppressive and cruel people towards the entire humanity who will not withhold from committing any crime and oppression to further their colonial agendas.
One the one hand, America has deprived Afghanistan of a legal Islamic government for the past ten years while on the other hand, it has also stripped the nation from the blessings of peace, security and safety. The nation has been damaged and suppressed from physical, spiritual, moral, ideological, educational and economical side also. The self-interested invaders have put all the gun-wielding, immoral, corrupt and hireling intelligence officials who were rejected and exiled by the people, as rulers over the honored Afghan nation.
With the occupation of Afghanistan by the Americans, the Afghan people under the leadership of Islamic Emirate simultaneously showed zeal for their obligatory Jihad against the invaders and practically presented themselves for the struggle. The past ten years have also been edifying in terms of Jihadi achievements, enemy losses, divine victory and Mujahideen accomplishments.
All praise is due to Allah, Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate, with strong determination and reliance on Allah kept alive their Jihadic struggle against the enemy even with scarce weapons and equipment, steadily increased their Jihadi operations, used different tactics against the enemy and gave innumerable sacrifices which in the end forced the occupiers, who intended to stay forever to rethink their position and contemplate turning back and leaving this soil.
Now that ten years have passed since the invasion of the arrogant Americans, fundamental changes have occurred in state of affairs, military tactics, stratagems and public opinion. And on international level, nations and people who take into account realities believe that the prolongation of presence of American troops in Afghanistan will add nothing to the end result except more expenditure, failures and humiliation.
With the passing of the ten year proud Jihad by the Afghan people against the invaders, we must remind it that divine victory is with us alike the previous ten years. If we hold tightly onto the rope of Allah, avoid insincerity, dissention, hypocrisy an other illnesses than with the aid of Allah, our enemy will be forced to completely leave our country, if God willing.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.
It has now been 10 years since the start of the brutal Zionist-Crusader war on the long-suffering Afghan people. On October 7th 2001 virtually the entire Western world joined the Zionist-Crusader war on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
And while many Mujahideen have been martyred, including some of the noble leadership, and had to endure much suffering, the tide of battle has finally turned in their favor.
Amir ul-Mumineen Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid (may Allah protect him) promised that this year’s fighting season would be the most successful from the entire decade of Jihad against the Americans; and he has been true to his word!
The Crusaders are being made to taste defeat on a daily basis – and each defeat they taste now is merely an appetizer for the final defeat that awaits them, when they finally flee Afghanistan – never to return.
The Crusaders are being attacked in devastating new ways, and all their technology is powerless to defend them. They are being attacked in a multitude of new places across the country, areas they had previously felt secure in. They are being killed again and again by Mujahideen who have successfully infiltrated the security forces, to such an extent that there is no longer a single puppet that is fully trusted by his Masters.
The Crusaders – principally those from Canada and France – are tripping over themselves in their rush to escape from the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. America and Britain will soon find that all of their coalition partners have deserted them, and left them to be annihilated by the Mujahideen.
On the other hand, in the ranks of the Mujahideen the situation is the exact opposite. The Mujahideen are increasing in number and morale every single day, and Allah bestows victory after victory upon them. The Mujahideen are securing town after town, district after district, indeed they are now controlling parts of Afghanistan that they did not control during the glorious rule of the Emirate prior to the Crusader invasion in 2001. The Mujahideen are seeing wave after wave of defections to their ranks – as puppet police and soldiers see the error of their ways and seek to atone for their evil deeds. The Mujahideen are more united than ever before as fighters and groups from numerous different ethnic backgrounds have all united with the Amir ul-Mumineen and under the banner of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
The recent deaths of the Apostates Ahmad Wali Karzai and Burhanudin Rabbani has shown that none of the puppets are safe any longer: no matter how many bodyguards they choose to surround themselves with, nor how many walls they try to hide behind.
The defeat of the Americans in Afghanistan has now become inevitable – it is a question of “when” and not “if” they will be defeated.
The Mujahideen and their supporters have always known this day would be imminent (by the leave of Allah), but it has taken a whole decade for many other people to realize the reality of the situation.
Indeed, despite the fact that the Mujahideen had already humbled one of the world’s two ‘Super Powers’ in Afghanistan, the Disbelievers seemed to think that humbling the second – and sole remaining – ‘Super Power’ was simply impossible. What the Disbelievers failed to take into account was that – with the aid of Allah – nothing is impossible for the Mujahideen!
And as for the recent comment by Leon Panetta that the defeat of ‘Al-Qaeda’ (the blanket label under which all Jihad against the Crusaders is known) is now within reach – that all that remains is to eliminate a few more key individuals?! Have you not seen that as Allah bestows Martyrdom on one of the Believers that dozens, hundreds or thousands of others rush to take his place?
Following the martyrdom of heroes such as Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Abu Laith al-Libi, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, Abu Umar al-Baghdadi and most recently the Lion of Islam Sheikh Usama bin Laden (may Allah have Mercy on them All) have other men not immediately stepped into their place?
Do you really think that martyring ten to twenty individuals in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia will end the Jihad against the United States – that the remaining one billion Muslims will simply submit to your will?
We say: Where you to martyr one billion Muslims and as long as ten to twenty Muslim men remained on Allah’s earth the Jihad against you would not cease!
Jihad will continue till the Day of Judgement and the black banners of Tawhid will spread from Afghanistan across the entire earth, with the permission of Allah!

Each year, the 9/11 reminds the Afghans of an event in which they had no role whatsoever, but, using this as a pretext and a clout, the American colonialism shed blood of tens of thousands of miserable and innocent Afghans. Still the atrocity has been continuing. Then it happened in a time that the Afghans had freshly floundered out of the vortex of a two decades-long war and were buoyed up by the newly-emerged vista of an Islamic regime.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, from the outset, has been calling for an impartial investigation into the event but, contrarily, the Americans and their coalition partners, far from positively responding to this rationale demand of the Islamic Emirate, are sending cruise missiles, poisonous and depleted uranium embedded weapons instead.
It will remain a permanent stigma on the face of the Western democracy that America and her Allies martyred tens of thousands of Muslims under the pretext of this ambiguous and murky event. Children, old men, women and even infant of a few days are among the victims. They destroyed our villages, orchards, standing plantations and even townships under the unjustified name of war on terror. Even now, the Americans and their Allies kill innocent Afghans through blind bombardments and night raids. They have been keeping thousands of Afghans in detention at Guantanamo, Bagram and Kandahar prisons and at Shindand, Nangarhar, Mazar-i-sharif, Khust and other bases where they are brutally tortured. Tens of best sons of this land have breathed their last under torture.
All these anti-human crimes are being perpetrated by those who claim being pioneers and leaders of democracy and advocates of human rights in the world. But notwithstanding their arrogance and brutalities, this also should be borne in mind that the Afghans as a proud honor-loving and principle-abiding people, have dealt such a jaw-breaking blow at the American tyrants that it was absolutely beyond their calculations and predictions. They are now biting their fingers of grief and worry.
The Afghans are armed with the weapon of belief and have infatuation with protecting their honor and dignity. Such weapon is neither available in the arsenal of America nor in the warehouse of her Allies. Likewise, the enemy has no deterrent to confront this weapon.
We believe the weapon of belief will ultimately overcome over that of the material prowess, if God willing. Furthermore, we urge all concerned circles of the world to press on the war-mongering American colonialist rulers to desist from gobbling down our land and natural resources under the so-called unjustified name of terrorism, nor they should shed the pure blood of the Afghans any more in order to obtain their colonialist goals. Otherwise, the Afghans have an endless stamina for a long war and, perceivably through a country-wise uprising, will send the Americans to the dustbin of the history like they did send other empires of the past to such a destination. (Inshallah)
