The Principled Stance of the Islamic Emirate Regarding the Issue of Afghanistan and the Western Media

The Western and pro-western media outlets have recently published some baseless reports claiming that a delegation of the Political Office of the Islamic Emirate had held talks with a delegation of the Kabul Administration in Doha, Qatar. However, these media reports are based on their own speculation and analysis which has no reality. Such reports are mostly handed over to well-known persons of media outlets for publication by intelligence circles of relevant countries to obtain propaganda objectives or they just want to prevent further sagging of morale of the soldiers of the Kabul Administration on battle ground.

It is no secret that Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have recently gained successive victories across the country while they are still advancing. Therefore, the enemies and opponents of the Islamic Emirate clutch at straws and foam like a sinking person and have resorted to baseless propaganda. Experiences have shown that such ploy and stratagem-oriented stance and activities not only prolong the way towards destination of real peace regarding the Afghanistan’s issue contrarily, it makes the issue further ambiguous.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is a committed force and a home of tens of thousands of martyrs and dedicated fighters. It has overcome many ups and downs with dignity and stamina during the past fifteen years. From the beginning, the aim was to end occupation, obtain full independence of the country and realize establishment of Islamic system. We have always sought and still seeking a peaceful resolution of the Afghan issue in light of the said objectives.

We have reiterated time and again that the issue of Afghanistan has two dimensions, the external and the internal. As to external dimension, the end of occupation is the main problem. Either by diplomatic process or through military means, this problem should come to an end. The issue of Afghanistan could not be resolved without resolution of this problem. Furthermore, the Muslim nation of Afghanistan is giving sacrifices for realization of Islamic system in the country for the past four decades. Tens of thousands of true sons of this country have been martyred, injured and handicapped for this cause. It should be clear to all that an Islamic system based on the consensus of the Muslim people of Afghanistan is a legitimate and human right of the Afghan nation. The Islamic Emirate is not fighting for gaining power rather it is continuing its Jihadic efforts for obtainment of lofty objectives.

As the current esteemed leader and the former esteemed leaders of the Islamic Emirate have mentioned in their messages that all Afghans have right to serve and protect their country. Hence, the Islamic Emirate wants an all Afghan inclusive Islamic system in a sovereign Afghanistan and do not want monopoly of power. The real solution to the problem is that the Afghans should come together around these Islamic and national common points.

But, if the internal and external opponents and enemies of the Islamic Emirate think that they would solve the issue of Afghanistan or would harm the Islamic Emirate or would create mistrust between people and the Islamic Emirate by resorting to baseless and futile allegations against it, they are wrong. It will be but another failed attempt like their previous ones. It tantamounts to throwing dust in the eyes of the Afghans rather than resolving the issue.
