It is a unambiguous reality that the Islamic movement of
Taliban arose to establish an Islamic system in Afghanistan, uproot injustice,
eradicate narcotics and the local writ of gunmen, strengthen security and to
form national unity and with the help of Allah and with the backing and
sacrifices of the nation, it was able to eradicate corruption and establish an
Islamic government in the various provinces and the capital in a very short
period of time. It almost completely eliminated the years of strife and
fragmentation in the whole country and was able to bring ninety five percent of
the country under the control of the central government. The Islamic Emirate of
Afghanistan has always tried to solve the problems with the opposition through
talks.
The ongoing issue in the country which came about ten years ago has been between
two fundamental elements: on the one side is Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and
on the other is the United States of America and its foreign allies.
The stance of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the beginning has been to
bring about the end of the invasion of Afghanistan and to let the Afghans
establish an Islamic government of their own choosing which does not pose danger
to anyone. Through realization and understanding, Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
has time and again made clear its stance to other nations and has persistently
said that the allied nations under the leadership of America will never be able
to subdue the Afghans by force in order to realize its aims. We are at the
moment, besides our powerful presence inside the country ready to establish a
political office outside the country to come to an understanding with other
nations and in this series, we have reached an initial agreement with Qatar and
other related sides. Islamic Emirate has also asked for the release of its
prisoners from the Guantanamo prison in exchange basis.
Apart from this, the perturbing reports spread by some news agencies and western
officials about negotiations have no reality and are strongly rejected by
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
