New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding the 2nd Anniversary of the Doha Agreement”
Posted on
Today, the 10th of Hoot 1338 Hijri Solar, marks the day on which Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States of America signed a historic deal of ending invasion in Doha the capital of Qatar.
The day on which the treaty was signed, and due to the jihad and sacrifices of our nation, paved the path for the withdrawal of American troops after 20 years, was recorded as another proud day in the history of our dear country. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan congratulates all the proud and Mujahid Nation of Afghanistan.
The 10th of Hooth, alike other historical days of our country, reflects the masterpieces and bravery of the Afghan Mujahid Nation and is the day of preserving the identity of the Afghan Muslim and Freedom Loving Nation.
All prise be to Allah, the Afghan Muslim nation has passed a great test in the field of jihad and struggle by making unprecedented sacrifices three times during the last one century and proudly achieved the freedom and independence of its country.
This day proved that Afghans have a strong will to gain freedom and a strong determination of protecting their religion and country.
The fact that Afghans over the past one century have consistently forced invading forces to their knees and expelled them from their country and gained their country’s independence, suggests that other aggressor countries abandon the path of enmity and hatred towards Afghans. based on mutual respect initiate interaction with the Islamic Emirate.
Afghans are a peace-loving nation, and now that they are experiencing a fresh and comfortable life, the world must interact and help them in creating opportunities.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, according to its position and policy, does not intend to harm or threaten any other country, also urges other countries to open all doors of positive engagement with the Afghan people so that all challenges that are likely to be accrued can be avoided.
As in the past the Mujahid Nation under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, will be vigilant against all kinds of plots and conspiracies of the enemies in future as well and will follow the Jihadi legacy and freedom seeking path of its forefathers, Allah willing.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding Irresponsible Treatment of Afghanistan’s National Assets in the United States”
Posted on
US President Biden in defiance of all international norms initially frozen Afghanistan’s assets, which were deposited in his country’s banks, and now wants to use it irresponsibly.
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns Biden’s unjustified actions as a violation of the rights of all Afghans.
The 9/11 attacks had nothing to do with Afghans.
Any tempering of the assets of the Afghan people under the pretext of 9/11 incident is a blatant abuse and injustice which is a clear violation of the agreement reached with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as well as an attempt to cover up the 20 years of its crimes committed in Afghanistan.
The United States in order to avoid international reproach, and not to damage its relations with the Afghan people, it must relinquish its decision.
Unfreez the wealth of Afghans unconditionally and further refrain from any provocative actions that can lead to more mistrust.
If the United States does not deviate from its position and continue its provocative actions, the Islamic Emirate will also be forced to reconsider its policy towards its country.

Check out my new ‘Policy Alert’ for The Washington Institute: “Second Islamic State Leader Killed in Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Territory”
Posted on
n February 2, U.S. Special Forces conducted an operation targeting Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi in Atimah, an area of Idlib province near the border with Turkey. The organization’s previous leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed by a similar operation in the nearby town of Barisha in October 2019. Both of these areas are controlled by rival jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which split from IS in April 2013 and later broke ties with al-Qaeda in July 2016.
Over the past few years, HTS has been attempting to establish a polity in northwest Syria via its technocratic Syrian Salvation Government. Part of this governance project has involved building up the group’s General Security Service (GSS), which was formally announced in 2020 but had been operating in proto-form for years.
Many of the announcements issued by GSS have focused on arrests of IS, al-Qaeda, and Assad regime cells, though its operatives are also suspected of targeting activists who oppose their parent group’s authoritarian rule. Since HTS adopted its current name in 2017, GSS elements have publicly announced twenty-one raids against IS cells in Idlib city, Sarmin, eastern Hama province, Salqin, Harem, Jisr al-Shughour, Khan Sheikhoun, Tahtaya, Sarmada, Abu Dali, Mseibin, Zardana, Kafr Naseh, and Majdaliya. The most recent raid was announced on October 7, 2021, though other operations may have been conducted but not publicized. Apparently, however, these intensive security efforts were not enough to deter the past two leaders of IS from using HTS territory as a base, though IS has long refrained from publicizing any information about its activities in Idlib.

New release from Hay’at Taḥrīr al-Shām: “Regarding Washington’s Classification of a Number of Countries and Entities, Including Hay’at Taḥrīr al-Shām”

أوضحنا سابقا وفي أكثر من مناسبة، أن قضيتنا عادلة ضد نظام متوحش ارتكب مجازر فظيعة بالسلاح الكيماوي وغيره، قتل أكثر من مليون سوري وهجّر ثلاثة أرباع الشعب خارج سوريا، على مرأى ومسمع من كل دول العالم. تقف فصائل الثورة السورية اليوم على رأسها هيئة تحرير الشام على جبهات القتال لحماية أكثر من 4 مليون من المدنيين في منطقة شمال غرب سوريا، وهذا حق مكفول ومسؤولية كبيرة. نظام أسد وداعموه هم الأولى بالتصنيف والقائمة السوداء كونهم مصدر قلق كبير، لا يهدد سوريا فقط وإنما دول وشعوب الإقليم أيضا.
