The other day Kabul regime troops under the guidance of Americans bombed a gathering convened to celebrate the graduation of religious scholars and Quran memorizers inside a Madrassa (religious seminary) in Dashti Archi district’s Daftano area, Kunduz province.

Up to 200 civilians mostly scholars, Quran memorizers and children were killed and wounded in this horrendous attack which shocked the spiritual psyche of the Muslim Afghan nation.

This startling event again proved the deep hatred the occupying forces of Afghanistan and their irreligious internal stooges hold towards the creed, religious beliefs, education, values and sanctums of our nation and their efforts of completely uprooting them.

The Islamic Emirate once again condemns this crime in the strongest of terms and promises powerful retaliation against its perpetrators.

The Afghan Mujahid nation generally and the Islamic Emirate specifically has rendered great sacrifices for the defense of Islam. It again reassures the entire nation that it shall not show weakness in defending you and our religious sanctums and will drag the perpetrators of this shocking crime to the courts of justice.

Following the great atrocity of Kunduz, it remains incumbent on the entire Afghan nation to back the ongoing Jihad, increase their efforts in preserving our religion, sanctums, religious scholars and seminaries and strengthen the ranks of Jihad until the defeat of the invaders.

The Islamic Emirate asks all impartial organizations, foundations and humanitarian NGOs to dispatch an independent team to the area to carry out a fair and thorough investigation in order to find out who this attack was carried out against and why.

The Islamic Emirate will provide all opportunities possible for such a team and will guarantee their security.

The Islamic Emirate similarly asks all media outlets, journalists and researchers to freely visit the area, view the site, interview the locals and victims and present their findings to the nation and the world.

Moreover the Islamic Emirate also calls on all independent writers, observers and analysts to give special attention to the Kunduz atrocity, write intellectual articles, publish details and expose the goals and malicious objectives of the occupying forces and their stooges behind such attacks.

We deeply empathize with all the families of the martyrs in the Kunduz tragedy, consider their pain as ours and pray for Jannah for the martyrs, quick recovery for the wounded as well as patience and immense rewards for the suffering families.

We pray to Allah to relieve our country from the grip of the invaders with the blessing of the pure blood of the innocent, to help the righteous Mujahideen fighting for the establishment of an Islamic system and security and prosperity of the Afghan nation and to throw falsehood into the ditch of destruction.

Wasalam

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
