Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding 33rd anniversary of expulsion of red army of former Soviet Union from Afghanistan

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the defeat and withdrawal of the Soviet Union’s Red Army from Afghanistan.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers this day a proud day in the history of Afghanistan for which it congratulates its Muslim and Mujahid nation.

Infect, freedom and identity of the countries depend on their heroism and achievement. All praise belongs to Allah, Afghans have passed this test three times during the last century and have achieved and maintained the freedom and independence of their country.

This third time libration of our country from occupation shows that the sense of independence among Afghans is still strong enough and they have determination and firm testament to protect their religion and country.

We hope the invading countries will learn a lot in the future from the continuous invasions of our country and regaining  independence in the last 100 years and will not chose the path of enmity and hatred towards our country and nation any more.

Afghans are peace loving people, but every time their peace has been turned into war by foreign invasions and disruptions and opportunities have been taken away from them.

We have no intention of aggression on territory and land of any country and we expect to live in mutual respect and peace with other countries.

The Muslim and zealous people of Afghanistan must be as sensitive and vigilant against all kinds of conspiracies and plots as they have been in the past and follow the path of your forefathers by maintaining strong Islamic commitment and national unity and preserve the freedom and independence of your country, Insha’Allah (God willing).
