New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Reaction Regarding the Report By the U.S. Defense Department”

l_DzlA8Q

The US Department of Defense in its report to the congress stated that according to reports of other organizations, members of Al Qaeda organization continued to support the Islamic Emirate in attacks and other such allegations.

The Islamic Emirate strongly rejects this report and considers such remarks a campaign promoting specific and malicious objectives.

Our Mujahideen are strong enough to combat the enemy and are not in need of support from any foreign side or organization.

Such provocative reports only serve to make Afghans even more skeptical about US intentions for peace.

American officials, politicians and astute parties must not fall into the trap of baseless allegations and not become victims of false reports and information pushed by some warmongering circles present within the American military apparatus.

The Islamic Emirate has committed itself in the Doha agreement to preventing harm to the United States and its allies from Afghan soil.

We remain committed to the aforementioned agreement and have so far implemented and will continue to honor our part of the agreement.

New release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Concerning the Completion of the First Phase (135 Days) Since Signing of the Agreement”

l_DzlA8Q

As 135-days since signing of the Doha agreement between the United States of America and Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan come to a close, we would like to communicate the following points:

– It is a welcome and positive step that the United States and its foreign allies have reduced the number of their forces and vacated five bases in accordance with their commitments under the agreement.

– The delay in the completion of the first condition of the agreement – the prisoner release process – in this period is very unfortunate due to it becoming a cause for the delay of intra-Afghan negotiations and comprehensive peace. There should currently have been even more prisoners released alongside the provided list.

– The issue of blacklisting of the leaders of the Islamic Emirate remaining unresolved is also a cause for concern that must be given serious consideration and practical steps taken.

– No attacks have been recorded against foreign forces by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate following the agreement which shows that the Islamic Emirate is committed to the contents of the agreement.

– It is unfortunate that although there is an explicit provision in the agreement that halts all types of military movements outside active combat zones, the American forces and their internal supporters over the course of these 135 days have frequently carried out bombings in non-combat zones, offensive operations by the Kabul administration forces have been supported and Kabul administration aircrafts have been flown by American pilots to carry out airstrikes against civilians, Mujahideen and public infrastructure.

In just the past ten days, the Americans and their internal supporters have repeatedly carried out drone strikes and bombings in Logar, Badghis, Maidan Wardak, Ghani, Zabul, Uruzgan, Helmand and Kandahar and carried out two raids. These all are blatant violations of the agreement and a deliberate attempt at provoking the Mujahideen towards large-scale attacks. The Islamic Emirate condemns all these attacks and demands its immediate suspension.

– Yesterday’s attack in Samangan and similar escalation of violence in other areas are a reaction to the launch of operations by the Kabul administration, ruthless attacks on civilians like in Sangin district of Helmand and the violations committed by the American forces. These cannot be classified as actions but as reactions.

– The Islamic Emirate again calls on America and related sides that the swift and complete implementation of the Doha agreement is in the interest of everyone. This opportunity must sincerity be taken advantage of, the process not obstructed nor delayed and the situation stopped from spiraling towards further mistrust, peril and problems.

The American side must not afford a very small specific circle an opportunity to muddy water and catch fish, rather the interest, views and demands of the entire nation must be respected.

Mr. President!

Take determined actions in regards to the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan and do not allow anyone to take actions that violate the terms of the agreement thus embroiling you even further in this prolonged war.

It befits a developed country like the United States to give complete rehabilitation assistance to a war-torn Afghanistan and this is an appropriate actions that shall positively effect the status of the United States.

It is a pleasure to talk to you. You are a tough people and have a great country and I understand that you are fighting for your homeland. We have been there for 19 years and that is a very long time and withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan now is in the interest of everyone.

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

We praise Him and send blessings upon His benevolent Messenger

I welcome and thank all the honorable dignitaries and guests who are participating in this historical event related to our country.

The successful negotiations and an agreement between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States of America is a positive step in the interest of the Afghan Mujahid nation and the world and I congratulate everyone upon it.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is committed to honoring the agreement reached with the United States, and as a strong military and political force, seeks positive relations with its neighbors, regional countries and the world while playing a constructive regional and international role.

The people of Afghanistan have suffered tremendously over the past four decades. I am hopeful that following the exit of all foreign forces from Afghanistan, the Afghan nation will breath a sigh of relief and begin a prosperous life under the shade of an Islamic government as everyone focuses on the national unity and development of our homeland. Therefore, I call upon all Afghan sides to come to the negotiation table in good faith for a sovereign and strong Islamic government and to collectively gather around our Islamic values and national interests.

To end, I thank the honorable Emir of the state of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, its Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani alongside other Qatari officials who aided, facilitated and exerted efforts in the lengthy negotiation procedure of the peace process. I also thank the state of Pakistan for their undertakings and efforts regarding peace alongside help provided towards the peace process by China, Uzbekistan, Iran, Russia, Indonesia, Norway and the numerous other countries. I hope that all will partake in the rehabilitation of Afghanistan.
