Statement of Islamic Emirate on expulsion of the Red Army of the former Soviet Union from Afghanistan on 26th of Dalwa

In the name of Allah, the Merciful,

Today, the 26th of Dalwa, marks the 35th anniversary of the defeat and withdrawal of the Red Army of the former Soviet Union from Afghanistan.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers this day to be one of the proudest in our nation’s history, a day of gratitude to Allah. On this significant occasion, we extend our congratulations to the courageous Muslim Mujahid nation of Afghanistan.

The freedom and identity of nations are intertwined with their bravery and struggle. Alhamdulillah, the Afghan people have achieved victory and gained freedom and independence for their country three times in the past century, with the help of Allah Almighty.

The liberation of our country for the third time reaffirms the enduring strength and determination of the Afghan nation to protect their religion and homeland.

The aggressor nations should learn valuable lessons from the successive invasions of the past century and the resilience of the Afghan people. They should think a hundred times before attempting any aggression against the Afghans in the future.

Afghans are a peace-loving people, but due to foreign invasions and conflicts, their peace has often been disrupted, leading to years of suffering.

The Muslim and zealous people of Afghanistan must remain vigilant against all forms of conspiracies and plots, and strictly follow Islamic faith by maintaining national unity, and following the path of ancestors in preserving the freedom and independence of our beloved country.
