Raid on Seminary and Airstrike on Clinic

A few days earlier on the 11^th of March, the Kabul administration intelligence forces raided an Islamic seminary in Khogyano district of Nangarhar province, rousting students from their beds and handcuffing them, before ruthlessly executing ten memorizers of the Holy Quran. This attack on an Islamic educational institute in Nangarhar not only aroused widespread public anger, but it was called a war crime and taken as a clear sign of enmity towards the religious values and sanctities of the Afghans.

Barely a week had passed since the Nangarhar atrocity when enemy aircrafts bombed Almar district clinic in the northern province of Faryab. This clinic staffed by 14 male and 9 female health workers that operated as the sole organized hospital in the region catering to the medical needs of locals was deliberately targeted and the building along with all equipment destroyed.

Like the incident in Nangahar, the media and other world organizations also adopted silence about the bombing of a clinic in Faryab, but this silence can never alter the nature of these horrific brutalities and blatant war crimes, rather this silence only brings under question the impartiality of these organizations and erases their credibility in the eyes of the people.

We would like to again convey to the world and our compatriots that the imposed administration on our homeland funded by foreign weaponry, money and supposed ‘resolute support’ is a brutal and destructive killing machine that deliberately murders the young, old, women, children and even students of our country, razes their bazaars, mosques, hospitals and seminaries and does not turn away from any form of brutality and abuse.

This oppressive and terrorizing setup that then calls itself the legitimate government of the people of Afghanistan at the negotiating table will never be endowed such a title because governments protect the life and property of their citizens, whereas the Kabul administration pursues survival in killing and looting, and targets the most vulnerable strata with the most brutal tactics. This persecution of people and destruction of civilian infrastructure is a clear sign that the Kabul administration has no true relation with the masses and country, but is an imposed and foreign imported phenomenon that continuously murders Afghans for foreign interests.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which as always raised the oppressed voice of its believing nation shares the pain of its people in these recent incidents and considers protecting, defending and responding to their cries its primary duty. We assure our people that their blood shall never be forgotten nor wasted. The brutal invaders and their lackeys are only speeding up their own downfall with such actions because oppression has no lasting power and the end of oppressors is unfailingly destruction and ruin.
