New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Prisoners Commission: Concerning the Spread of Corona Virus in Prisons”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

As the corona virus has become a global pandemic and has reached Afghanistan as well, it becomes the duty of every Muslim to understand and execute their responsibility for its prevention.

Prisons under Kabul administration control which are overcrowded and lack basic health and sanitary facilities are facing the most serious threat.

The Islamic Emirate has major concerns about the prevailing conditions hence it first and foremost calls all detainees to take precautionary measures and strictly follow all the published prevention guidelines in order to safeguard themselves from this dangerous virus.

It also urges international human right and health organizations along with aid agencies to pay special attention to prisons in Afghanistan and to issue necessary guidelines and aid to the related departments.

It must be mentioned that there are around forty thousand detainees in Kabul administration run prisons where even common diseases can spread rapidly and Allah forbid, if the corona virus were to take affect it would generate a catastrophic tragedy in which case all responsibility shall fall squarely on the shoulders of the Kabul administration and its foreign backers.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding the Mischievous Group of Dā’ish”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

As the group named Daesh is a mysterious and oppressive group, The Islamic Emirate with the blessing of Allah (SWT) and support of the Afghan Mujahid nation expelled it from various areas of Afghanistan – limiting its presence to a few eastern areas of the country where clearance operations against them continued and their strongholds were finally cleared.

The Islamic Emirate has firm will to eliminate this group from the remaining areas and rescue its countrymen from their harm forever, inshaAllah.

The Islamic Emirate will never give Daesh the opportunity to turn Afghanistan into the center of mischief.

The Islamic Emirate leadership asks its Mujahid people to further stand shoulder to shoulder with the Islamic Emirate Mujahidin and not allow the aforementioned group in any way to recruit, train, fundraise, or do other activities so that they are not able to spill the blood of innocent people of Afghanistan, create hatred and conflict among people, or pose a threat to the Afghans and internationals from Afghanistan.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Regarding the Political Self-Determination of the Afghan Muslim Nation”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q

It is the fundamental right of the Afghan nation to determine its own future. History has proven that whenever a foreign power has tried to snatch this right away from our Muslim nation and impose a system that opposes our Islamic and national values, they have faced historical failures. On the other hand, it has similarly brought upon the Afghan nation immeasurable hardships and sufferings and has become the principle cause of prolonged wars and destruction in our homeland.

Therefore with our firm insistence, the agreement signed with America clearly states that no foreign nation shall interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. The Afghans shall chart a course for their future in a free atmosphere. The time has now come for the implementation of this principle as other sides and forces must end repetition of their failed and implausible experiments. The Afghan Muslim nation should be allowed to determine their own future with their own freewill so that they can achieve their ultimate goal of enduring peace and national unity.
