Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding 101st Anniversary of Independence from British occupation

Today the 28^th of Assad marks a proud historical day for our people and homeland as 101 years earlier on this exact date, the valiant and Mujahid people of Afghanistan with the blessing of Divine Help from Allah won their independence from British occupation and forced the greatest colonial power of the 19^th and 20^th century to officially recognize the sovereignty of this land and its people.

As the Islamic Emirate congratulates its people on gaining independence from British colonization, it also considers today’s Jihadi struggle on the verge success a proud historical moment for the Afghan Mujahid nation.

Just as our forefathers gave a befitting response to every scheme of the invading enemy at appropriate time, we too shall continue our comprehensive struggle with all our might towards regaining our sovereignty and establishing an Islamic government in our homeland and shall not allow anyone to stand in the way of this great and pure aspiration, Allah willing.

As today we are once again on the threshold of gaining independence, we call upon all internal sides to give preference to the aspirations and real demands of this nation, support the call of freedom and sovereignty and rescue this suffering nation from further hardships.

We hope that the world and specifically the regional countries will extend support the people of Afghanistan in attaining their freedom and legitimate rights because we believe that such will benefit everyone economically and security wise, Allah willing.
