Statement of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
on the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of
the Red Army withdrawal from Afghanistan
Rabi-ul-Awwal 10, 1432 A.H, Monday, February 14, 2011
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.
On February 15, 1989, the invading
forces of the former Soviet Union fled Afghanistan. However,
to begin with, the invading army had not entered Afghanistan
to face defeat vis-à-vis the resistance and jihad of the
empty-handed Afghans and eventually have to pull out of
Afghanistan humiliatingly. The Islamic jihad and resistance of
the Afghan Mujahid nation compelled the colonialist army not
only to withdraw from Afghanistan, being defeated but caused
their Red Empire under the name of the former Soviet Union
collapse, rendering the communist atheist ideology futile at
world level.
Initially, the invading Soviets were wallowing in their
intoxication, riding on the waves of conceit of their military
might. They occupied Afghanistan to use it as a springboard
for reaching the Indian Pacific Ocean like what the invading
Americans are doing now. But before reaching the Indian Ocean,
they themselves drowned in the ocean of the blood and
sacrifices of the Afghan Mujahid people. Waves of this
hurricane of the ocean of blood shattered down the skyscrapers
in the heart of Kremlin, crumbling it to prolong its era of
superiority.
The invading Soviets like the Americans
of today were hankering after extending their domination over
the whole region through occupation of Afghanistan but due to
the help of the Almighty Allah and as the result of the jihad
and sacrifices of the Afghans, not only they failed to prolong
the occupation of Afghanistan but lost control of all their
occupied republics of central Asia. Their dominance over the
Eastern Europe came to an end and the Warsaw Pact was
dissolved.
The Russians came around to know after a decade-long
occupation of Afghanistan that arm-twisting with the brave
Afghans is tantamount to annihilating oneself. Nothing more
than that, it will yield. So they concluded that the Geneva
Accords were a good pretext to withdraw their defeated troops.
They pulled their morale-sagging troops out of Afghanistan
disgracefully and humiliatingly. Today, another arrogant
empire has occupied the same Afghanistan by dent of their
invading troops and the Afghan Mujahid nation is once again
engaged in combat against the invading Americans and their
coalition forces, i.e. NATO.
The era of current resistance has
almost completed ten years. The world community concedes that
the invading Americans and their allies are now facing the
same moribund situation that their predecessor, the invading
Soviets, were facing. Their showdown of muscles has proved in
vain; they have lost their war spirit; tens of thousands of
their troops have been either killed or wounded; their
economic expenditures have broken their spine bone and
strongholds of Jihad and resistance against the invaders have
sprang up all over Afghanistan.
The Americans had thought that they would occupy central Asia
and the entire region by means of occupying Afghanistan but
Afghanistan by its very nature, is not a country to give
itself to occupation so smoothly. Previously, the Britons had
stepped over this land with the same covetous fantasy but
instead of stabilizing their occupation of Afghanistan, they
themselves ended up losing their great empire at the hands of
the Afghans. Genghis Khan and Alexander had tested the
strength of the Afghans’ warfare.
Now the American empire is hovering
over the edge of collapse. If they intend to prolong the
occupation of Afghanistan and the sufferings of the Afghans
because of their imbecility, they will face the fate of the
Soviets and Britons which occurred in the past century. But if
they put to use their rationale rather than being bent on
stubborn stupidity and put an end to this tragedy by bringing
to a close the occupation of Afghanistan and withdraw their
forces unconditionally, then they will not only save
themselves but will eradicate the factors of insecurity in the
whole region.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while celebrating the
victory of the legitimate Jihad of the Afghan Muslim nation
against the invading Red Army and marking the 22nd anniversary
of the withdrawal of the Red army from the country, once more
re-affirms the need for continuation of the legitimate Islamic
Jihad against the invading Americans and deem it an effective
mean for the ouster of the invaders.
