New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “On the Third Anniversary of the Doha Agreement”
Posted on
Three years ago, on 10th of Hoth an agreement on withdrawal of all foreign occupation forces from Afghanistan was signed between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States of America in Doha, Qatar, in front of the representatives of nearly 60 nations and organisations.
Our faithful and Mujahid nation, with the help of Almighty Allah, continued the holy jihad against foreign invaders, untill to make their jihad struggle on the path of victory.
Special assistance from Allah Almighty, gratitude to the Mujahidin and the oppressed people and 10th of Hoth marked the beginning of the great victory and freedom for the Afghan mujahid and the oppressed nation, and Afghanistan was freed from 20 years of occupation and conflict.
With the grace and support of Allah, the Afghans once again gathered together like brothers, the conspiracies of the enemies were foiled and the ground was laid for the establishment of a unified Islamic system. Praise be to Allah on the occasion of this great day, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan congratulates all the Afghan people and the Mujahideen and prayes paradise for all the martyrs of Jihad, swift recivry and rewards for the injured, and happiness in this world and the hereafter for the orphans and widows.
We ask Allah Almighty to give stability to this achived peace, security and the Islamic system built on the sacrifices of martyrs, and to give us all the opportunity to express our gratitude for this great victory and reward and turns all our deeds solely for the acquiescence of Allah.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Ministry of Foreign Affairs: On the Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) Reserves”
Posted on
IEA-MoFA deems recent decision by the US to transfer a part ($3.5 billion) of the reserves of DAB to Switzerland & use it for targeted disbursement without any input by Afghanistan as unacceptable & a violation of international norms.
IEA, as an accountable gov. to its people, expresses its explicit opposition to the specific iteration of this mechanism.
DAB reserves, like those of other states, are used for currency stabilization, strengthening financial systems & facilitating international transactions.
These reserves can never be used for any disbursement purposes. Disbursing these reserves for other purposes without the express agreement of the Afghan people is a negative step against Afghan economic stability taken by the United States.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would like to clarify that during bilateral talks with the United States, the independence and professionalism of the Central Bank, and openness to third party monitoring of AML/CFT regime was proven both in words and deeds.
US has taken this step without finalizing negotiations or reaching an agreement with us, showing ill-faith to undermine economic stability & well-being of the Afghans. Despite commitments to & compliance with international financial practices by the Central Bank of Afghanistan,
a decision has been made to forcibly transfer the wealth of the Afghan people to another country. We therefore call on all individuals & sides to condemn this illegal & oppressive action, & support the Afghan people on this issue.
Through this statement, we would like to present our objection to the countries and institutions involved in this issue and we will continue to monitor the situation through diplomatic channels.
The principle causes of the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan are the twenty-year American war, endemic corruption by the US-backed administration, and, following the change in government, the imposition of sanctions against Afghanistan & its banking sector, which has prevented investors benefitting from newly created economic opportunities.
If the reserves are disbursed without taking into consideration legitimate demands of the Afghans, the Islamic Emirate will be forced to impose fines against, and ban activities of, all individuals, institutions and companies that facilitate this illegal venture & seek to misuse DAB reserves for humanitarian & other purposes.
We again urge US to unfreeze reserves and lift restrictions on financial systems of the Afghan people so that they may have access to banking systems & stabilize their economy.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Declaration On the Claim of U.S. President Joe Biden”
Posted on
On the 2nd of Muharram، 1444, an air strike was carried out on a residential house in Kabul city, two days later, US President Joe Biden claimed that US troops had targeted Al-Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri in this attack, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has no information about Ayman al-Zawahiri’s arrival and stay in Kabul.
The leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has instructed the investigative and intelligence agencies to conduct a comprehensive and serious investigation into the various aspects of the incident.
There is no threat to any country, including America, from the soil of Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate wants to implement the Doha pact and the violation of the pact must end.
The fact that America invaded our territory and violated all international principles, we strongly condemn the action once again.
If such action is repeated, the responsibility of any consequences will be on the United States of America.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ for the Washington Institute: “Rhetoric Meets Reality in Jawlani’s Push for Self-Sufficiency”
Posted on
On July 10, a United Nations vote will decide the future of the cross-border aid mechanism for northwest Syria, an area run by the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The mechanism—which facilitates aid to northwest Syria via Turkey without having to go through Damascus—faces the prospect of nonrenewal for the first time since it was created in 2014, as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A failure to renew the mechanism would exacerbate an already daunting humanitarian situation in northwest Syria, where some three-fourths of the population consists of internally displaced persons (IDPs). While aid will likely continue on a far more limited basis if Russia vetoes the mechanism, from a U.S. perspective a more self-reliant HTS-run territory requiring less international assistance would actually be far preferable to a situation in which aid renewal remains subject to periodic dramas.
Over the past roughly six years, HTS has transformed itself from an al-Qaeda branch into something resembling a typical regional state governing body, with the group engaging in human rights violations and embracing inflammatory rhetoric. To begin with, it has focused increasingly on developing local institutions and the economy. The group’s strides in governance have been facilitated, in part, by the March 2020 Turkey-Russia ceasefire agreement, which more or less froze the conflict line. Since then, HTS leader Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani has reiterated the value he places on self-sufficiency and constructing a new polity and society that does not rely on outside help. If HTS and its civilian-led Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) actually followed through on Jawlani’s ideas, locals could find other avenues to support themselves. Yet one must acknowledge at this point that HTS has not matched its lofty rhetoric with efforts to develop indigenous capabilities. Instead, it has worked hard to monopolize economic power.
