Prevention of Civilian Casualties, an Important Objective of the Current Jihad
10 June 2016By Zabihullah Mujahid
On 25th July, 2016, UNAMA published its six months report on civilian
casualties for the current year. As usual, they have attributed a major
percentage of civilian casualties to the Islamic Emirate in the report.
Unfortunately, portion of civilian casualties caused by troops of the invading
countries or the Kabul Administration has constantly and comparatively
remained much less and in some cases negligible ever since UNAMA began
recording civilian casualties in January 2009. This is why the Islamic Emirate
has continued to criticize UNAMA reports.
In fact, the Islamic Emirate has emerged from among the people and live among
them. It is the reason that the leadership of the Islamic Emirate has been
paying close attention to prevention of civilian casualties as per policy
while through the Political Office and the Civilian Casualties Prevention
Department, has shown willingness to cooperate with UNAMA Human Rights Section
regarding civilian casualties prevention. Simultaneously, IEA leadership has
given instructions to governors and commanders about prevention of civilian
casualties on different occasions, holding seminars from time to time to boost
practical awareness of the mujahedeen. Likewise, IEA has added prevention of
civilian casualties department to the setup of the Military Commission, with
full authority and an exclusive rule of conduct– the article 9 of which says
that civilian casualties are in no way acceptable for the Islamic Emirate.
Similarly, the leader of the Islamic Emirates has always emphasized on good
conduct with the common man and on prevention of civilian casualties. Apart
from that, delegations of the Islamic Emirate, during their participation in
international conferences ( on Afghanistan) like: Keyoto Conference, Japan,
Chantilly Conference, France, Oslo Forum, Norway and other conferences held in
Doha, have described prevention of civilian casualties as the main objective
of the current Jihad. All these show the firm resolution and policy of the
Islamic Emirate regarding prevention of civilian casualties.
However, it is to be mentioned that civilian casualties in Afghanistan is not
the result of the use of light weapons but rather have been caused by use of
heavy weapons, blind bombardment and drone attacks which are carried out by
the invading forces or the forces of the Kabul Administration. In fact, all
these weapons are at their disposal per se. Practical examples are Dand Ghuri
and Dand Shahabuddin of Baghlan province where houses of the locals were
destroyed; children, women and the elderly were martyred and thousands of
people displaced as a result.
Mujahedeen of the Islamic Emirate neither resort to explosion in places of
people's congestion as per the rule of conduct given to them and nor do they
use mines which can't be remotely controlled. Similarly, those mines which are
left from the time of Jihad against the former Soviet Union and occasionally
cause civilian casualties should not be attributed to the Islamic Emirate.
Moreover, all those explosives and mines which are solely in the possession of
governments and cause casualties, do not belong to the Islamic Emirate. Such
incidents have their own wicked objectives and the Islamic Emirate declares
its non-involvement in them.
The United Nation regards itself as a World Neutral Body. So its reports
should be indicators of realities and not a stunt of maligning. As such, it is
indispensable for this August Body if it wants to garner the trust of people
instead of governments. Of course, if the Human Rights Section of the United
Nations have any query regarding the shared goal of prevention of civilian
casualties, it can be taken up with the Political Office of the Islamic
Emirate. The Islamic Emirate, on its part, welcomes every positive proposal
put forward for prevention of civilian casualties.
People Should not Fall Prey to Conspiracies of the Invaders
From past few days, ethnical, geographical and religious hatred has upsurged
in many parts of the country because of the divergence of views regarding
TOTAP electricity line extension; it has no precedence in the political
history of the Afghans. From one side, these activities are carried out on the
behest of invaders and under the supervision of Surrogate Administration to
prevent implementation of national projects and stymie development of the
country and on the other hand, they want to tip Afghans against each other as
perpetual enemies and deprive them of needs and aspiration by keeping them
under the domination of invaders and their surrogates. Hence, they would have
no say and authority and will be compel to submit to the demands and will of
invaders.
From the beginning, Mujahid Afghan nation were aware of the ill intention of
invaders that why they invaded our land and what they want! This was the
reason that they started sacred Jihad against them which still continues. But,
those unaware who relied upon the futile promises of invaders and their
surrogates may realize now that what are the real ambitions of invaders and
their surrogate administration and for what motives they are struggling. If
they were really honest to the Afghan nation and despite huge potentials that
we have they would have build a single big dam in the past fifteen year so
that it brought prosperity to the Afghan nation and relied upon its own
potentials.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls upon all ethnicities of the country
not to fall prey to conspiracies of invaders and their surrogates. They should
be on guard and pay close attention to the commandments of their religion. Our
sacred religion commands us to keep ourselves away from all kind of
geographical, ethnical and linguistic discrimination while it is also the
demand of the sound intellect.
Furthermore, instead of trying to have upper hand vis-à-vis other and weaken
each other, it will be better to utilize your intellect, might and authority
to expel invaders and their surrogates, thus to obtain independence and pave
the way for a peaceful and prosperous life.
