Defeat of the invaders: a testament to Afghan unity and resilience

By: Sais Saedi

Afghanistan, a nation steeped in a history of adversities, has long been a testament to the resilience and fortitude of its people against both internal strife and external pressures.

The valor of Afghans transcends mere resistance against foreign threats; it shines brightly in the face of internal discord and challenges to their cultural heritage. Throughout ancient times, the Afghan populace has steadfastly defended their independence and religious principles with unwavering courage. Notable among these displays of bravery is their historic resistance against formidable empires, lauded globally for their indomitable spirit.

It was on a day like today three years ago that the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate embarked on a conquest, province by province, culminating in the complete control of the nation on August 24th. The Islamic Emirate emerged victorious, establishing a fully independent Islamic government.

After two decades of jihad, sacrifice, and martyrdom, the Mujahideen achieved the liberation of their homeland and a monumental triumph. Despite facing bloody conflicts and extreme violence from occupying forces and internal collaborators, divine assistance, the unwavering support of the Afghan people, and the blessings of martyrs’ sacrifices led to a resounding victory, toppling the US and NATO-backed puppet government.

During the three-year reign of the Islamic Emirate, substantial strides have been made in security, peace, public services, and fostering unity among Afghans, marking significant progress across various sectors.

As the third anniversary of the Islamic Emirate’s return and victory dawns, it is imperative for the global community to cease imposing conditions, comprehend the gravity of these developments, and take tangible steps towards constructive engagement and recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

While the honorable Afghan populace, under the governance of the Islamic system, has enjoyed unprecedented security and economic prosperity over the past three years, contrasts abroad have seen Western lives marred by disillusionment and shattered hopes. Thus, there exists a profound opportunity for the true custodians of this land to unite, extending hands in solidarity to pave the way for mutual prosperity, economic growth, and the advancement of the Islamic government’s authority.
