The Islamic Emirate and Peace in Afghanistan: The Enemy is Breathing it's Last in Helmand
26 January 2017
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
Peace and security is a natural requirement and need of human beings. Without
peace and security humans could not live as social beings. In social needs, it
perhaps should rank second, just after food and water. Hence the importance of
peace should never be underestimated.
Prior to the American invasion of Afghanistan, the Afghans were living in a
peaceful environment. They lived under an Islamic governance system of their
choosing. This was and remains the only form of what the westerners call
'social contract' acceptable to the Afghans. The Islamic government of the
time worked tirelessly to engage the international community to strengthen
regional peace, advocated international norms of equal sovereignty and
treatment, and called for regional and trans-regional cooperation to boost
economic growth in our country.
While the enemies of Afghanistan tried to punish the Afghans and stifle their
economy through sanctions due to their irrational and obstinate abomination of
all Islamic ideas yet the steady economic growth of the time benefited the
poor and needy rather than simply expanding the gap between the rich and the
poor.
Yet despite the attempts of the Islamic government to engage with all foreign
nations some western states shunned our extended hand. When America was
attacked in the middle of 2001 their political leaders at the time immediately
pointed their fingers at the Taliban without any proper and due investigation.
They failed to provide any material evidence to support their claim that these
attacks were indeed planned in our country.
Despite the lack of any extradition treaty and without working within
international norms and rules the Americans and their allies' simply dictated
terms all the while rapidly mobilizing their forces for an imminent attack.
The Islamic government tried everything to reach a peaceful settlement and
explicitly stated that there was no threat present from Afghanistan to other
nations yet despite all this America and her allies launched their unprovoked
attack – of dubious legality – on our nation and shattered the fragile peace
reigning therein.
Over the past 15 years the Afghan nation has offered endless sacrifices to
retain their independence and to throw away the yoke of foreign servitude.
While they have suffered, yet they have remained resilient in their desire to
maintain their independence and bring about a political settlement of their
choosing. Afghans are tired of war, yet they will fight another 40 years
rather than give up their dream of living under an Islamic governance system
of their choosing and unencumbered by the threats of outside powers.
The Enemy is Breathing it's Last in Helmand
The champions of the Islamic Emirate, the Mujahideen, have – with the help of
Allah Almighty and the assistance and prayers of the Afghan nation – managed,
after wrestling control of the countryside, to enter the center of Helmand
province. The enemy forces are in a state of retreat and the Mujahideen are
solidifying and expanding their presence in the city.
Just a few days prior to this triumph, the regime's governor for Helmand –
Hayatullah Hayat – was interviewed by BBC where he stated that his forces have
snatched the initiative from the Taliban and halted their advance. He promised
to soon cleanse all of Helmand from the Mujahideen.
Similarly the previously Communist warlord – General Jabbar Qahraman – stated
the Mujahideen will make no further inroads in Helmand and will even be driven
out of faraway districts such as Musa Qala. Yet it was after such far-fetched
boasting by the above two that the Mujahideen launched their advance on the
city and began their conquest.
The Islamic Emirate's governor for Helmand province – Mullah Abdul Manan – in
an interview with Alemarah stated that the government failed to prevent
Mujahideen advances in Nawa, Khanshin, Nad Ali, and Marjah. Therefore they
will be incapable of defending Lashkar Gah and hence, instead of causing
damage to civilians and national infrastructure, they withdraw from the city.
Similarly Mullah Abdul Manan called on the soldiers of the regime to surrender
to the Mujahideen and not risk their lives and religious abode for the
interests of others. He guaranteed a safe passage home to those soldiers that
surrendered to the Mujahideen.
Approximately 98% of Helmand is currently under the control of the Mujahideen.
The people are living peaceful and prosperous lives. They are free from
government and moral corruption. Schools and madrasas are fully functioning.
And the people – rather than worrying for their lives – are busy with
improving trade and commerce.
The people of Helmand everywhere assist the Mujahideen and consider them a
welcome change from the corruption, degradation and arbitrariness of the
regimes administrative system. Similarly the Islamic Emirate and its
Mujahideen promise to protect the lives and properties of those living under
our governance. To strive to improve the lifestyles of its citizens. And to
defend our people, our property and our cultural heritage from those that seek
to destroy it.
