Congratulatory message of Islamic Emirate marking
the 92th Anniversary of Independence from British occupation
Ramadan 17, 1432 A.H, Thursday, August 18, 2011
In the Name of
Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Exactly 92 years from today on the 28th of Asad 1298, the
biggest imperialist force of 19th and 20th century, the
British colonialists officially recognized a sovereign
Afghanistan and after decades of war and chaos, the Afghan
people gained their greatest aspiration (Afghan Independence).
On the occasion of this monumental and historical day, the
Leadership Council of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would
like to whole heartedly congratulate the faithful and freedom
loving Afghan nation. May Allah Almighty also grant us the
blessing of Independence from the current American occupation
as swiftly as possible.
The Afghan nation’s eighty year old resistance and struggle
for Independence against the British is a very important
chapter of our history and it holds important lessons. If the
decade’s old war, invasion, failures and successes of freedom
seeking Afghans against the English occupiers is studied
thoroughly, a lot can be learnt from it for the solution of
the current crisis. At that time, the British occupation
project prolonged for decades with repeated failures and
headaches because even at that time, just like now, the enemy
counted on its few puppets and hirelings instead of the
decision and will of the Afghan nation. Instead of trying to
understand the position and stance of the Afghan nation, the
English only did deals with its own hirelings and dreamt of
occupying this land with guarantees made by them.
Unfortunately, the American invaders are repeating the same
experiment. They fantasize that making a deal with their few
agents about permanent presence will somehow give it ethical
permission and dampen the moral of the resistance. But they
must realize that such important issues cannot be decided by a
few of their agents and neither will this champion nation put
down its neck and make a deal on such matters. The Afghan
nation is currently busy in a broad struggle for the
independence of its land and has given countless sacrifices
for this cause for the past ten years. If the enemies of the
Afghan people want to avoid being entangled in a perpetual
conflict then they must have respect for the ambitions of the
people and to recognize the independence of the Afghan nation.
And if it wants to continue with its arbitrary policies, it
will not gain anything apart from facing the fate of the
British occupiers.
On the occasion of the proud day of 28th of Asad, we must
remind our nation that the right to independence is our
Natural, Human and Religious right. We are servants only to
Allah Almighty and no other power has the right to rule over
us. Jihad against the arrogant Infidel invaders is our
religious duty. Whatever fate we face in this way will
guarantee our religious and worldly honor. So it is necessary
for us to concentrate even more on our initiated struggle for
independence so with the blessings of Divine victory, we expel
the occupiers from our country.
In this hope
The Leadership Council of Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan
