An open letter to the UNAMA about the biased behavior of this Organization - screen capture at Google Drive
Created on Friday, 22 February 2013 07:08
Regretfully the report published by the head of the UNAMA in Kabul, about the civilian casualties in the country does not bear impartiality. An effort has been made that the losses inflicted by the invaders are also ascribed to us and they have been totally acquitted. While every educated or uneducated Afghan can easily decide about your this judgment because he observes and feels the prevailing situation, the indiscriminate bombardment of the trespassers and their brutalities. But we do not understand why you are not considerate for the prestige of your organization and do everything for Americans?
As a part of the United Nations Organization, it should have never been expected from you, but unfortunately we observe it. In the following we send you our objection regarding your biased report in the form of an open letter which will be then sent to the media in the exact from.
As you repeatedly mention in your reports the numerous civilian casualties inflicted by Mujahidin and do not tell the exact time and place, is itself a point of concern and anxiety.
The head of your organization, Ján Kubiš, has been quoted, “The terrifying incidents of civilian casualties have been increased by 700%. I emphasize that the civilians are those working for the government, different officials, tribal and religious leaders and those working for peace. It is a war crime and those who commit it will be punished for their crimes.”
We do not understand whom do you call civilians? Are the innocent people not civilians according to your definition who were martyred in Said Abad district of Maidan Wardak province in American bombardment sometime ago and the Mosque was destroyed? Similarly are those innocent and oppressed children and women not civilian who were martyred a few days earlier in Shaigal area of Konar province? If these people are civilian, then why are they not highlighted in your reports? On the other side you never forget the officials and their stooges!!!
According to us civilians are those who are in no way involved in fighting. The white-bearded people, women, children and common people who live an ordinary life, it is illegitimate to bring them under attack or kill them. But it has been disclosed to us that the police of Kabul admin, those personnel of the security companies who escort the foreigners’ supply convoys and are practically armed, similarly those key figures of the Kabul admin who support the invasion and make plans against their people, religion and homeland, those people who move forward the surrender process for Americans in the name of peace and those Arbakis who plunder the goods, chastity and honour of the people by taking dollar salaries, all these people are civilian according to you. No Afghan can accept that the above mentioned people are civilian. We have pledged in the beginning of our yearly operations that these people are criminals. They are directly involved in the protraction of our country’s invasion and legally we do not find any difficulty in their elimination, rather we consider it our obligation.
If we accept that the killing of those people who support the invaders is the killing of civilian, then ask about the condition of the prisoners in Bagram and Pul-i-Charkhi jails where 92% are the people who are told that they have helped the Taliban, have provided food and shelter and feel sympathy for them. Then according to your calculation, why thousands of these are lying in jails for years and you don’t find any place in your reports to mention them? When every night the American brutal soldiers made tens of raids and target those houses and people who have sympathy for Mujahidin or at least have provided them food, why these raids are not mentioned in your reports? Why have you forgotten the killing and torture of women and aged people?
Our mines, which are placed in the ground very carefully, are blasted by remote controls over the enemy. They kill the enemy and destroy their vehicles. We have frequently released the pictures and video clips of these incidents. But your report says, “The main cause of the civilian casualties is the landmines which have killed more than 800 people and have injured other 1600 last year.”
What are your arguments for the above allegations? You might have mentioned the blasts in some parts of the country over the civilian’s vehicles in which national buses or some other transportation is targeted; we have already explained that our mines are blasted by remote controls over specific targets and are not used against the common people.
The next point is that when these incidents took place, you have not made contact with us as an impartial organ to clarify that who has planted this mine and why has it been blasted over the civilian? It seems that the information that these mines are fixed by Mujahidin is either provided by the invaders or by the puppet admin of Kabul and you consider their antagonistic reports reliable against us, whereas most of the civilian vehicles are blasted in the mines fixed by intelligence organs of the enemy just for our ill repute. The instance in place is the last year mine blast in Nangarhar province in which 11 little girls were martyred and later on some more mines were found there which were freshly planted and all of them were British made. The area was not a fighting zone either. It might have been a minor and usual incident for you that could not find place in your report but in reality it was not an insignificant and negligible incident.
The obvious thing is that our enemy is exhausted with our mine tactics and has suffered serious losses and you want to defame our effective resource by their recommendation and point it out as the main reason of the civilian casualties. The reason is that the number of civilian mine casualties in the previous ten years in even less than the number you have mentioned in the last one year.
The other astonishing thing is that the in-charge of your Kabul office, Yankobish has been quoted, “The deployment of those children whose brains are washed including the suicidal attacks are shocking and against the Islamic norms and values.”
We consider the above propaganda ambiguous. Where have the children participated in suicidal attacks? Whether your organization has some authentic proofs which show that any child has either been exploited by us against the enemy or has been used for martyrdom attack somewhere else?
The deployment of children is totally forbidden in our ranks. In practice we can say it explicitly that no one can prove the exploitation of children by us in war. The reason is that it has no advantage; rather it harms the Mujahidin on the following basis:
1.Legally the decision of a child is not trustworthy to attack the enemy and sacrifice his life.
2.A child cannot manage to reach the target and harm the enemy.
3. A child can easily fall to the enemy’s hands and can divulge the secrets, hideouts and plans of Mujahidin.
4.A child cannot carry a vehicle or a waistcoat full of mines may be weighing more than 10 kg, to the targeted area.
5.A child cannot move tactically because of his childhood to cross the enemy’s security check posts and reach the target.
6.The deployment of children in Jihadi ranks has its own moral disadvantages which are legally forbidden. The special rules and procedures of the Islamic Emirate regarding the Martyrdom attacks say:(Article no.19: In all activities related to Jihad and especially in martyrdom attacks, the deployment of beardless and youngsters is strictly prohibited. Everyone should try to prevent it.)
Besides all the above arguments:
What is the meaning of an unjustifiable statement by a high ranking figure like Ján Kubiš?
Whether this claim does not signify that all of your information is based upon the allegations of our enemy?
Whether we should remain doubtful that you do not want to disclose the realities?
Whether we should rely upon your information and reports anymore?
Whether we can still consider you as an impartial organization?The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Mujahidin had great political and military achievements in the year 2012. – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
Monday, 04 February 2013 12:52
Last year by the grace of Allah Almighty the justified and holy Jihad of the Islamic Emirate against the occupying forces and their mercenaries reached to the extent that severe blows were given and decisive attacks were carried out against the enemy in the battlefields inflicting enormous casualties on the invaders.
On political front either the maturity, logic and power of the Islamic Emirate became evident and proved to the world. The conferences of Japan and Paris are visible examples for it.
Whatsoever the Americans and their puppet media, hired by dollars, decrease the number of American casualties to hundreds, these claims are absolutely wrong and the figures are fabricated because according to the Wall Street Journal, an American newspaper, last year the number of attacks against Americans exceeds 30 thousand. If the Americans and their puppet media do not admit the killing of four or five soldiers in each attack, they should acknowledge at least one soldier killed and one wounded. And if they do not admit even this, then they will be hiding the sun by just two fingers. But the overall reality is that during last year due to increase of Jihadi attacks in number and strength, heavier than ever financial and corporeal losses were inflicted on the enemy. Moreover the considerable good news for the Afghan nation is that because of military tactics and targeted attacks of Mujahidin, the Americans confessed the abscondence of 30 thousand combatants from Afghanistan. But in reality the number of American soldiers either fled or evacuated is greater than this because in different provinces of Afghanistan most parts are completely freed from the American occupation. Similarly France withdrew all its forces from Afghanistan. The New Zeeland evacuated most of its troops and said about absolute abscondence. Belgium also tied up their bedrolls. The most important thing is the British announcement of getting rid of this grave encumbrance and withdrawal of its troops.
On the other side the year 2012 was fraught with political achievements for Mujahidin. The invitation of the envoys of the Islamic Emirate to various conferences held in Tokyo and France and their the unambiguous stance of ending the invasion are those political accomplishments which undoubtedly exposed all the transgressions of America and NATO in the previous 12 years and step by step revealed to the world their vicious tricks by the names of reconstruction, systemization, human rights and Loya Girga(grand council), planned and convened from time to time, and proved that in the last 12 years the occupiers have either given empty slogans or killed the oppressed Afghans!!!
We tell the trespassers and their stooges that your entire capacity is tested in Afghanistan. You exercised every weapon of brutality and barbarity and utilized numerous satanic deceits of disintegration. Trillions of dollars were extravagantly spent for this purpose. But you saw the results inadvertent in the year 2012. Allah Almighty bestowed Mujahidin with several political and military triumphs. So it is advisable for you not to think, even for a single moment, about the extension of your occupation in Afghanistan because in the year 2013 Afghanistan will be a land where not only human beings but also bushes and stones will show aggression against you and will cool their hearts!!!
Insha-Allah (God willing)!!!

The Islamic Emirate welcomes the withdrawal of all American forces – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
Friday, 11 January 2013 06:29
Karzai has started his journey towards America with the intention to discuss the extension of invaders stay in Afghanistan for a few more years alongside other issues, so that he and his colleagues could enjoy bounteous privileges of high official posts and prolong their irresponsible political existence under the American protection.
Innumerable Afghans were killed in the previous eleven years span of the American invasion, their houses were bombed, they were searched out in the dark of night. They were imprisoned, wounded and compelled to migrate. In this incalculable dollars era, a lot of people died of hunger and severe cold. On the other side the American people also faced a lot of afflictions. Their children were killed in a futile war. They are facing a great economic adversity. Their international prestige was badly damaged. But the Kabul administration and the so called president and his cabinet does not feel commiseration for Afghan people and want to protract this calamity.
Beyond doubt the invading forces will ultimately quit, because the Afghans have always safeguarded this country with their own arms. They have lived in a free and independent environment. They have never relied upon the power of alien forces. It is remorse for someone who flings the whole nation in flames just to preserve himself for a short period of time. No sooner did the foreigners quit, the Afghans will start living under the cover of an Islamic government and in the environment of Islamic brotherhood.
At present the American officials have raise the possibility of evacuating all their troops from Afghanistan, it demonstrates that just like the French people, the American people have also accurately perceived the ground realities. They drew the attention of the white house officials that the politics of might is not going to yield in the case of Afghanistan therefore they should adopt the politics of wisdom and logic. We appreciate this step of the American public and all those societies who pressurize their government in the issue of Afghanistan as to bring this aimless war to an end and to evacuate all their troops.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan welcomes the withdrawal of all American forces from Afghanistan and considers it a crucial positive step forward in solving the issue of Afghanistan. Furthermore we regard it as a good luck for both nations for the reason that in this way the war will come to an end. Killing, irritation and calamities on both sides will terminate. Both of the nations will have a chance to live a peaceful, serene and prosperous life.

- More Mali (1) “The head of the African Union, Thomas Boni Yayi, is set to visit Ottawa Tuesday and his visit with Prime Minister Stephen Harper could bring a request for Canadian troops to be involved in an international mission in Mali. The United Nations Security Council backed a proposal in December to send an African-led force of 3,300 soldiers into the country. But the resolution also called for broader international assistance. A military coup last year created a power vacuum in Mali that’s led to the rise of armed groups linked to al-Qaeda in the country’s northern region. Defence Minister Peter MacKay said last week that Canada could be willing to send troops to help train African forces. As the president of the African Union, Boni Yayi was instrumental in convincing the United Nations that international intervention was needed ….”

The latest UN/EU plan has Western nations simply training the locals to be like us. Trouble is, they may not want that. Mali is one of the last places on Earth with large-scale slavery, apparently with considerable popular support. As many as 200,000 people are still slaves, ex-slaves suffer terrible discrimination and, as in the 2012 Tuareg Rebellion, their former owners may grab them back given half a chance. This truth is only whispered with respect to Afghanistan because conservatives don’t want to tarnish our troops’ performance and progressives don’t want to admit culture matters. But “training” Afghan security forces, as though their main problems were technical ones like literacy or radio repair, has not worked because too many Afghans are Islamists. Go ahead. Say it out loud. Too many Afghans are Islamists. So are too many people in Mali. And too many others hold scarcely less appalling beliefs and habits incompatible with prosperity and human dignity ….”

The facility did insist security was on hand when Storrison went to see her father on Saturday. “To have security sitting outside the room was beyond humiliating,” Storrison, 61, said Sunday. “I felt as though I was under house arrest. I felt like I had been convicted of a criminal offence and basically given probation with the condition that I attend mediation.” Sunnybrook banned Storrison, who has spent most evenings over the past three years caring for her 91-year-old father at the veterans centre, after nurses apparently accused her of going on a “verbal rampage for hours on end”.

Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding so-called security pact between Karzai and America – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs – Commentary on this statement by Threat Matrix‘s Bill Roggio
Saturday, 22 Safar 1434/Saturday, 05 January 2013 09:39
Obama has summoned Karzai to America to sign a security pact which would pave the way for the presence of American troops in Afghanistan and through which America would continue its crooked policies in the region regarding which the Islamic Emirate states the following:
1. If America wants peace in Afghanistan and the region as well as a way out for its people from this ongoing quagmire then it should immediately remove all its troops from Afghanistan and practically put an end to this futile war.
2. If America believes it can implement its malicious policies and find a secure base for itself by leaving a residual troops presence then we clearly state that these dreams are only dreams which can and will not materialize just as they failed to materialize in the past eleven years.
3. The reason behind all this turmoil and anarchy in the region is directly related to the American presence in Afghanistan. Therefore if America wants to leave a small or large number of its troops for whatever length of time then it means war and destruction will continue in the region for that same length and it shall only be America that shall suffer the most.
4. The American people and all its influential sides should stop their government from prolonging this futile war and meaningless game which America has lost and in which it is facing utter defeat.
5. The American government and Karzai should understand that agreement on troop presence is only a personal deal between Karzai and America which is categorically rejected by our nation and it shall hold no legal credibility. The Islamic Emirate shall continue its sacred Jihad against it just as it has for the past eleven years.
6. Karzai should be mindful that if he were to take this step then he would have hammed the last nail into coffin of ending this war, after which he should never hope for any type of peace and calm.
7. If Karzai and the Kabul regime agree with the presence of even a single American soldier then, just as presently, they shall also be responsible for all future hostilities, casualties and destruction due to igniting and intensifying the flames of prolonged war for the Afghan nation.
8. The above written statements regarding this security pact are not only our sayings but the majority of the nation holds this view, a reaction of which you shall be practically witness in the future.
9. The Islamic Emirate believes the American invasion of Afghanistan is akin to a violent storm for the region and it is a known fact that storms know no wet or dry borders but treats everything in the same manner. If the regional countries remain indifferent to the prolonged American presence then they should not treat as minor the upcoming wars, disturbances, exploitations, invasions and other problems created in the region by the American presence.
10. We call on our oppressed nation, region and all other Muslim countries to not withhold any type of assistance from the Islamic Emirate in putting an end to upcoming prolonged regional war and anarchy which shall come about due to the American presence so that this cancer can be completely removed and emanating danger for the region averted. Similarly, we call on the people of the west to prevent their children and the Afghan people from burning in this fire by stopping their leaders from such irresponsible froward pacts.

Quick glance at 2012 Jihadi achievements (part 1) – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
Wednesday, 02 January 2013 02:30
2012 in Afghanistan was a year full advancements and achievements. We can unmistakably state that 2012 in Afghanistan for the current occupation was exactly as 1986 was for the former occupation during which they completely lost their will to fight and practically began the process of withdrawal and retreat.
Penning down all the incidents for 2012 in one article is not possible however we will still strive to highlight some of the important military, political, cultural and social events of the year in this article.
First: Jihadi fronts
Jihadi operations in 2012 were several times higher than the previous years, a reality even testified to by the enemy. On the 26th of June, 2012, a reputable newspaper ‘The Wall Street Journal’ writes while quoting unnamed American officials that Mujahideen attack in 2012 increased 21 percent compared to previous year, adding that 3000 attacks were carried out by Mujahideen in the month of May on foreign invaders. In another similar confession on July 17, 2012, the spokesperson of the regime’s Defense Ministry stated that Taliban attacks have increased 40 percent. With the increase in operations in 2012, enemy casualties also spiked relatively regarding which Hamid Karzai, during a parliament session on 26th of June, said that 20 to 25 security personnel are killed daily in Taliban attacks. So if we multiply 25 by 360 = 9000 therefore the casualties suffered in 2012 climbs into the thousands and not as recently stated by the Defense Ministry which put the fatality figures a few over one thousand even though its spokesperson (Zahir Azimi) put the fatality figures at 600 only for the months of July and August so is it plausible that for the remaining ten months, they only suffered 400 fatalities? Similarly, the claim of Americans that they only lost 400 troops in 2012 also seems fatuous because they themselves declared in June that 3000 attacks were carried out against them in the month of May. If we take this admission of the invaders as an average for the entire year then that equals 36000 attacks hence 400 American fatalities means that the Taliban only managed to kill 1 American trooper in an average of 90 attacks; this clearly shows that this claim is inane and unacceptable to every sound mind.
Attacks against enemy air power
2012 in Afghanistan was a year full of losses for the American air force, helicopters and UAVs. 11 aircrafts were lost, 9 during an assault on Shorab airbase on 16th of September and 2 during shelling of Bagram airbase, one of which was the plane of the current American Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey. Alongside this, 29 enemy helicopters were eliminated by Mujahideen in the various provinces of Afghanistan in 2012, most of which were shot down and a few parked on ground e.g. 2 American helicopters destroyed while parked on the tarmac during an attack on their base on 18th October in Zurmat district of Paktia province. It should be stated that most of the helicopters shot down were also confessed to by the enemy while others were denied or covered under the title of ‘hard landings’ or ‘technical difficulties’ in accordance with their known policy e.g. on 5th October, an ISAF military helicopter was shot down by Mujahideen near Logar provincial capital and despite its footage (wreckage on fire) making rounds on several websites, the Defense Ministry denied the shoot down and labeled it a normal ‘hard landing’ incident.
Similarly, Mujahideen also shot down 16 enemy UAVs throughout the year in the various provinces of Afghanistan.
Large and headline grabbing operations
Besides carrying out their normal daily attacks, Mujahideen also executed toll-afflicting and message-broadcasting operations amongst which is the twin martyrdom operation on the police and border forces in Kandahar; martyrdom attack on Kandahar airbase on 5th May; a 24 hour simultaneous martyrdom attack by 20 Mujahideen on 3 sites in Kabul city and similarly, in Nangarhar, Logar and Paktia provinces on 15th April; more than a hundred invaders killed and wounded on 1st June in a 10-man martyrdom operation on Camp Salerno in Sahrabagh of Khost province; large scale attacks in the same month on US bases in Kandahar city, Shahwalikot and Spin Boldak districts; freeing of inmates from Saripul prison in assault on 7th June; heavy attacks on French contingents in Tagab and Najrab districts of Kapisa on 9th June; martyrdom attack on 21st June in Khost on joint enemy forces; martyrdom attack on 22nd June on key enemy officials in Spoghmi Hotel in Qargha of Kabul; powerful truck bomb on Khadr base in Logar on 7th August; destruction of Joint Chiefs of Staff (Martin Dempsey) plane in attack on Bagram airbase; successful car bomb attack on Kandahar police chief and chief of border forces (General Abdul Razziq) on 28th August in Kadahar city; 15-man awe striking attack on Camp Bastion on 19th September in Shorab of Helmand; successful large-scale operation in Darwuj district of Badakhshan province and detaining of 24 police on 29th September; attack on deputy of Hamid Karzai (Kareem Khalili) on 15th October in Sheikh Ali district of Parwan; truck bomb attack on large US base in Zurmat district of Paktia on 18th October; complete annihilation of American logistical company ‘Supreme Group’ in Bagram area of Parwan on 20th October; martyrdom attack on 21st October on CIA center in Wazir Akbar Khan area of Kabul city; large martyrdom operation on enemy facilities in Maidan Shahr on 23rd November; heavy martyrdom attack on Jalalabad airbase on 2nd December; successful martyrdom operation on Intelligence Chief (Asadullah Khalid) on 7th December; martyrdom attack on 26th December on intelligence officials in front of CIA facility in old Khost airbase and other such operations.
Insider attacks
Attacks which put final nail in the coffin of the invaders will and morale as well as shook their feet and forced them to abandon all hope were operations by infiltrator Mujahideen a.k.a. insider attacks. Even though attacks by Afghan security forces on foreign invaders was not uncommon however such attacks picked up deadly pace last year and played a significant role in causing the invaders heavy casualties. The fatality toll from such attack was put at over 50 by reports however the actual casualty figures of foreign troops, police and Arbakis runs into the hundreds. The latest incident took place on the 24th of December in the Interior Ministry of Kabul when a female officer (Nargis) killed a high ranking American advisor with a handgun. These attacks inside the enemy ranks compelled the enemy to recognize them as a dangerous and frightening tactic. The American Joint Chiefs of Staff labeled it a serious threat for his troops.
Enemy withdrawal and liberation of country
To sum up 2012 in one sentence it would be ‘The beginning of the invaders scamper’. Thirty thousand American troops fled from the heated battle fields this year and on top of this, France brought its combat mission to an end and withdrew all its forces the same way they had come; Belgium began its retreat on 7th of August by withdrawing 230 troops; New Zealand followed suit and declared early withdrawal after attacks on its troops in Bamiyan and the Prime Minister of Britain also jumped on the retreat bandwagon be announcing early withdrawal of its troops from Helmand province during a visit to Afghanistan.
The foreign troops deserted many of their outposts from most parts of Afghanistan in 2012. They officially announced abandonment of 400 key outposts despite the fact that the actual number is many times higher because they quit 90 outposts only in the district of Marjah, Helmand province. The Americans left the countryside of the North and Central Afghanistan and confined their presence to the provincial capitals. To hide their defeat and embarrassment, they termed this retreat from north and central Afghanistan as step by step ‘security transfer’ which will keep continuing. In reality, they want to flee from Afghanistan just as they turned tail and ran from Vietnam. When America faced utter destruction in Vietnam, they came up with the formula ‘declare victory and run’ and want to utilize the formula of ‘transfer security and run’ here in Afghanistan. It must be stated that the fleeing of invaders is a positive step for our countrymen because as the invasion is rolled up, the vast swaths of the country will automatically be liberated and the shadow of occupation will be lifted from the nation.
To end, all the above Mujahideen achievements can only and only be ascribed to the help of Allah Almighty because such victories of the empty handed Afghans against such mighty and blood thirsty powers cannot come to fruition without divine intervention. To be continued…

NOTE: In its quarterly report on civilian casualties, the U.N. says 84% of the most recent civilian casualties have been caused by “anti-Government elements” – the statement below is the Taliban’s response. Enjoy the lies!
Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding the recurrent partial report by UN – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
Monday, 17 December 2012 09:45
UNAMA, a branch of the United Nations, in its recent civilian casualties report once again attributed eighty percent (80%) of the caused casualties to the Mujahideen, six percent (6%) to the Kabul administration and chose to remain silent on the rest.
The report writes that in the second half on the current year, civilian casualties increased compared to a downward trend in the first six months. 967 civilians were reported martyred and 1590 civilians wounded.
UNAMA has failed to even indicate towards the civilian casualties caused by bombings, raids and direct fire of the invading forces despite the fact that the mentioned forces oppress, detain and martyr civilians on a daily basis. Similarly, it has enshrouded the atrocities committed by the Kabul regime’s Army, Police and especially Arbakis (ALP/militia) and has only attributed six percent of civilian casualties to them which in reality is far lower than the actual percent.
On the other hand, UNAMA has now for a prolonged period been accusing Mujahideen for the major share of civilian casualties to hide the flaws of the invaders and at the same time, for unknown reasons, it has not positively responded to the reasonable appeals and genuine investigation called to by Islamic Emirate regarding prevention of civilian casualties. The general population is our own nation; our leader had previously taken serious steps in preventing civilian losses and efforts are still being made so none are caused by us; most importantly, we are divinely responsible to answer to the people in this regard. Using the issue of civilian casualties for political and other purposes is what strengthens such activities because its drives our enemies, in order to defame Mujahideen, to commit such acts which on the one hand cause heavy civilian losses and on the other hand, put pressure on Mujahideen through organization like UNAMA to achieve their sinister objectives. This evidence is adequate to prove UNAMA’s incompetence that it has never conferred Mujahideen while assembling its report so we can have an answer to the allegations blindly charged against us, all this while it is exclusively using the opposition as its sole source of information.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly made clear that mines placed by Mujahideen are all controlled by remotes and do not detonate by pressure but only hit its intended targets. To validate our claim, it is enough to say that the invaders themselves admit that sixty percent (60%) of their casualties in the past ten years have been caused by IEDs.
Attributing every explosion to Mujahideen is injustice and clear concealment of truth because the enemy has recently revamped efforts to try and defame Mujahideen. They persecute people in Mujahideen attire, place explosives on main roads and are flaming tribal conflicts, clear examples of which are present in the south, west and north of the country. We urge all impartial organizations and independent media outlets to not suffice with the fake reports and statistics provided by the occupying forces and Kabul regime. All events which are not accepted or rejected by the Islamic Emirate should not be attributed to us. From the findings of UNAMA, it seems that the source of its data is the governors and spokesmen of the corrupt and stooge Kabul regime because UNAMA does not only not have workers in the districts but also in the provincial capitals. According to our information, the figures of civilian casualties provided by UNAMA are in reality the sum of reports of Kabul administration which attribute civilian casualties to the Mujahideen on a daily basis.
We want to present examples of documented civilian casualties caused by the invaders and Kabul administration regarding which independent sides should base their judgment and themselves discover how UNAMA has neglected them in its report while keeping in mind that these are a small sample whereas the atrocities committed by them are far greater in number:
On July 11, foreign invaders carried out a raid on Kondlano area of Shahwalikot district (Kandahar) during which they trashed homes in search operations and martyred “five” civilians before leaving.

Reports said that “eight” women were amongst the martyred, adding that local women and children were out collecting wood when they suddenly became targets of enemy helicopters. Like every other time, the invaders simply said that they targeted Mujahideen and no civilians were harmed. However the officials of Laghman province and witnesses said that the victims of this bombing were all innocent poor locals who were out collecting fire wood.
On September 21, foreign invaders carried out a night raid on Gezak village of Shahwalikot district (Kandahar) during which they martyred “six” civilians.

On November 20, foreign forces raided several areas of Shahwalikot district during which they trashed people’s homes, beat up locals and martyred “five” civilians including elders and teens before arresting another civilian and leaving the area.
The provided number of casualties is only a glimpse of the atrocities carried out by the foreign forces and gunmen of Kabul administration whereas the actual number is several times higher. This report of the UN fails to mention even a single one of these apparent incidents which confirms the doubt of the Afghan nation that the said organization, under the name of impartiality, is employed by the foreign occupation forces and works under their instructions.

The Supreme council of peace or the warring council of the oppressors? - Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
From the day the puppet regime of Kabul has started the propaganda of the so called peace process, they have carried out such actions which are totally in contradiction with the principles and demands of peace. They do not have a specified strategy for peace. They are using the noble name of peace according to their own wishes for illicit meaning.
Peace according to their interpretation is to give up the Jihad, to accept the decrees of the invaders, to surrender the weapons and to wait for the mercy of the infidels.
True peace can only be achieved when the sovereignty of the Afghan Mujahid Nation is realized as their legitimate right. The Kabul administration is using the name of peace for political aims and to deceive the people and the world, because with the implementation of peace their personal interests are at stake. Therefore they have brought together such figures under the umbrella of peace council, who have no idea of peace and harmony in the country; instead they have tortured the people for more than thirty years for their personal benefits; they have started the civil wars and are busy day and night for the demolition of their own people.
From the very beginning someone was selected as the head of the so called peace council who had a large share in the calamity of the Afghan nation and always preferred war to peace. In this defective composition such figures were brought together who instead of peace, issued the verdicts of beating, killing and hanging the Mujahidin. They had the policies of war from the beginning and are preparing themselves for fresh fighting. There are even such figures in this composition who are working for the disintegration of the country.
Is it rational to expect peace from such a war process? Actually this process is a part of the enemy’s defense and security organs. No doubt that the oppressed and afflicted Afghan nation wants peace and stability but the enemy has imposed by sheer force such figures on the people who have no commitment for peace and are totally despised by the masses.
Our beloved people and the entire world knows that the Kabul administration is never interested in peace; because on one hand they are not independent and on the other side their interests lies in the continuation of war. They are just using the good name of peace for their malicious interests. They want to show the people and the world that they are the symbols of peace and Mujahidin are the supporters of war. But our mujahid and vigilant nation can never believe in these hollow slogans.

Message of Felicitation of the Esteemed Amir-ul-Momineen (May Allah protect him) on the Occasion of the Eid-ul-Odha (via pro-Taliban Twitter feed) – Screen capture of full statement at Google Docs
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of the Worlds and peace be on the leader of the two dominions, the noblest of the apostles, the Leader of Mujahideen, our prophet, Mohammad, the Chosen one (peace be upon him) and on his offspring and all his companions. Having said that, I would like to further say: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one.
“Those who disbelieve, spend their wealth to debar others from the path of Allah. They will continue to spend it till it will become a cause of regret for them and in the end, they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve shall be gathered in Hell. Holy Quran (8:36)
When Jesus son of Mary said: “ Children of Israel! Verily, I am the Messenger of Allah to you, confirming that (which came) before me and giving good news of an apostle that will come after me whose name shall be Ahmad.” Holy Quran 61:6
I extend my felicitation to all Muslim people of Afghanistan, to the gallant Mujahideen who are now arrayed against the invasion, to the families of the martyrs, to the disabled and the esteemed pilgrims in every part of the world, on this occasion of Eid-ul-Odha, a great day of selflessness , sacrifice and joy.
I pray to the Almighty Allah to bless the Islamic Ummah to spend these days of the Eid of Sacrifice, in joy, serenity and a feeling of euphoria. Similarly, I congratulate, the honor-loving and high-spirited Mujahideen brothers on the unprecedented military victories of the current year. May Allah, the Almighty give us and you (further) steadfastness and persistence and salvage our oppressed people from this unlawful invasion. Surely, the moments (of victory) are close at hand now rather than any other time else .
Mujahideen brothers!
You are in the scene witnessing that the ranks of Jihad do strengthen, experiencing expansion in every part of the country because of the close support of ( our) brave people with the Mujahideen and their sacrifices . Massive aggressive and Jihadic tactical attacks are carried out against the grand bases of the invaders. The (enemy) evacuate military bases and barracks in awe of Mujahideen. Some conscious daring Muslims from among the ranks of the regime installed by the invaders, launch decisive attacks against the cunning invading enemy. Those Afghans who have been deceived are now turning to the peaceful lap of the Islamic Emirate in groups as a result of the efforts underway by the Call and Guidance Commission. Other self-same developments and transformations are some of the achievements that we and you should, as an obligation, have to thank Allah (swt) for having them bestowed on us.
We ask the Almighty Allah with deep humbleness to grace us with further ability to achieve our goals , to remain committed to the aspirations of our Jihad, neither become arrogant ( to gloat) nor become heedless about the goals and sacred path of Jihad. We should seek the pleasure of Allah in the conduct of all affairs and make it our resolution to obey our superiors, to implement the bye-law of Jihad, and to work for the establishment of the Islamic system, the comfort and prosperity of our people, our nation of which you and we are a part and parcel , has gone through hardships, sufferings and oppression in the past over thirty years They deserve it as an obligation on us to behave with them with tolerance and good manners. It is because of the sacrifices, selflessness and daring feats of this very nation that you and we become able in keeping up the battle against such an arrogant power for eleven years triumphantly and face the enemy with defeat at all fronts. You and we should feel the pain of the nation and share its grief. We should realize that complete victory and quashing of the enemy become possible only through the help of the Almighty Allah and the bilateral cooperation of our people. The superiors and subordinates of the Islamic Emirate should try to cement their unity, coherence and intimacy, avoid internal differences, conduct the affairs of Jihad with mutual sympathy and consultation, work out good plans for the quashing of the enemy and implement them; provide facilities for the common people, save them from the atrocities and brutalities of the invaders and the Arbakis, pay full attention to the prevention of civilian casualties. The enemy has tried and is trying to blame the Mujahideen for the civilian casualties. Increase your efforts to expand the area of infiltration in the ranks of the enemy and to bring about better order and array in the work. This tactic will achieve more fruitful results, if God willing. Focus on honing behavior and raising level of knowledge of the Mujahideen. Explain to them all essential injunctions and ethics of Jihad, and pay attention to their education, vastness of insight and moral upbringing. Give a hand of help to the orphans, the disabled and the prisoners. This should remain inculcated in your mind that every action contrary to the religious requirements, and being based on sheer emotions bring in only wicked consequences .
We call on the Afghans who still stand with the stooge regime to turn to full-fledged cooperation with their Mujahid people like courageous persons in order to protect national interests and to complete independence of the country. Jihadic activities inside the circle of the State militias are the most effective stratagem. Its dimension will see further expansion, organization and efficiency if God willing.
I urge every brave Afghan in the ranks of the foreign forces and their Afghan hirelings who may find an opportunity to utilize this opportunity effectively and quash the enemies of Islam and country in their centers and use all possible means, opportunities and tactics to strike them. This is because Jihad is an obligation enjoined on every one. It is the duty of every individual of the nation from religious perspective and on the basis of his conscious to strive for the liberation and independence of his country.
The (local) chiefs of Mujahideen are instructed to submit (the names of) those heroes who have performed such exploits to the leadership for further recognition and acknowledgement of their daring actions.
As to the future political destiny of the country,, I would like to repeat that we are neither thinking of monopolizing power nor intend to spark off domestic war but only try that the future political fate of the country must be determined by the Afghans themselves without any interference from big countries and neighbors, and it must be Islamic and Afghan in form.
After the independence of the country, we should have a sharia-based national regime with the help of Allah, the Almighty, which will bring about a sole central authority and be free from every kind of discrimination and biases. Jobs will be given on merits; territorial integrity of the country will be protected. Security will be maintained, Sharia laws will be implemented , we will guarantee rights of both male and female of the country, build economic structures and strengthen social foundations and facilities of education for all people of the country in the light of the Islamic rules and national interests, conduct all academic and cultural affairs efficiently and will , with the help of the brave nation, foil the effort of those who harbor the notion of disintegrating Afghanistan and intend to flare up domestic war to achieve their goals. They should not think that the Afghan people are so simple-mined that they would break off their deep ideological, cultural, social and historical bonds among the fraternal ethnicities. The former Soviet Union pursued the same recipe of disintegration but the result was contrary to their efforts and they themselves became entrapped in their ploy.
We want to have good relations with all those who respect Afghanistan as an independent Islamic country and their relations and approaches are not domineering and colonialist. This is what every independent and Muslim Afghan wants.
About (efforts) to reach understanding with the foreigners, I would like to say that we would continue political endeavors along with military struggle in order to obtain our Islamic and national goals and aspirations. For this purpose, we have an entity in the shape of political office to conduct the political struggle. They interact with the foreigners in view of our Islamic, Jihadic and national interests. I should say that we have no other conduit to reach an understanding with the other side except through the Political Office, because we do not play politics on this issue covertly nor we can tolerate (others) to play this. We have framed our policy to reach the understanding on the bases of religious and national values and then we have publicly announced it. If the intelligence agencies and diplomatic circles of the invading countries want to create spurious channels of negotiation and fake faces ( imposters) and then make them larger-than-life figures and channels through the media, it will be nothing more than a waste of time and duping their own people.
Since independence is the right of every one, so we urge the world, the international community, particularly, the Islamic countries and the Islamic conference to help us on the basis of their (moral) responsibility in ending the occupation of our Islamic country and obtaining its independence. Similarly, they should carry out their responsibility on the basis of human sympathy in releasing our prisoners who have been passing days and nights of miserableness in Guantanamo, Bagram, other prisons and in the prisons of the neighboring countries, particularly, the human rights organizations should feel their responsibility to find out about the human rights violations of those miserable prisoners who are givens various tortures during investigation against all laws in the said prisons every day. They extort confession from them forcefully by beating them. They are deprived of their basic human rights even some of them have been martyred and became disabled.
About the desecration of the very person of the Holy Prophet, Mohammad ( peace be upon him) by the enemies of Islam through the release of a film, I strongly condemn this act and would like to say that the enemies of Islam have not left any stone unturned to distort the image of the sacred religion of Islam . At last, they resorted to ( the heinous) activities to commit blasphemy against the personality of the Holy Prophet, Mohammad, (peace be upon him). They committed (such abhorrent) acts against the person of the noblest of the prophets that any individual with perfect conscious would not tolerate it to be done even against an ordinary person.
The West calls the desecration of the Holy prophet ( peace be upon him) and the torching of the Holy Quran , The Divine Book, as a freedom of speech and thought in a time that if a Muslim would happen to recite verses of Jihad in the Holy Quran, The Book of Allah, the Almighty and translate them or they just demand their rights and freedom, then they put them in detention by blaming them as being terrorists and give them the most brutal tortures. Any way, their propaganda of the world of their films which is based on their imaginary views and fantasies and indicating their narrow-mindedness will only bring them shame and disgrace. “They seek to extinguish the light of Allah, with their mouths but Allah will complete His light, much as the disbelievers may dislike it.” Holy Quran 61:8
The Muslims should not rely only on verbal protests but strictly adhere to their sacred religion, follow the life way and instructions of the Holy prophet (peace be upon him), forge unity among themselves and embark on a practical struggle against their enemy , the colonialism . “You have a good example (of conduct) in Allah’s Apostle (to follow). ( This is ) for any one who looks to Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. Holy Quran 33:21.
The Afghans have not committed invasion against anyone else and nor we have made aggression against the territory of others but we will continue to wage Jihad against the invaders who have invaded our country until the occupation ends completely.
We told the enemy eleven years ago that their coming (to the country) will be easy but their presence and exit will be full of complications. Today’s situation displays the same picture. We have enough capability to wage a prolonged struggle against the enemy, have full trust in our Lord, great patience and enough man power. We have neither barrowed these capabilities from others nor anyone else has bestowed them on us as a favor.
If God willing, we will foil all plans of the enemy with full capability and sagacity. Our Jihadic momentum has reached a phase that enjoys comprehensive global Islamic support, sympathy of the people and with the proper hardware having been obtained, we are now in a position to face the enemy with a shocking fate in the military front, if God willing.
In these holy days and nights of Eid, I urge all well-to-do beneficent individuals and organizations to have a conduct of ( compassion and intimacy) with the families of Mujahideen and the poor as they have with their own children and families, particularly, they should have compassion on the children of the martyrs and families and give them assistance either directly or through the economic commission of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and arrange to share with them the joy of Eid.
I ask Allah, the Almighty to bestow on us, the believing and Mujahid people of Afghanistan, a great substitute for the strong, brave and warm support extended to the Mujahideen against a non-believing alliance under the leadership of America for a period extending more than a decade,. It is owing to this support, that the Jihad has reached its success. Similarly, I ask Allah, the Almighty to grant patience, steadfastness and a great reward to those families whose relatives have been martyred, wounded or imprisoned or sustained heavy losses in the way of the sacred Jihad or during the blind bombardment and raids of the enemy. I pray to the Almighty Allah to enable our nation to reach its ultimate aspirations for the holiness of the pure blood of the martyrs and may the flag of Islam stand raised in the country, fluttering. Amen, O Sustainer of the Worlds! Peace be upon you all.

MILNEWS.ca News Highlights – October 19, 2012
- Afghanistan (1) Former CIDA guy: Let’s not be so quick to judge the development work a failure “…. Today, because of Canadian, Afghan and partner efforts throughout the country, more than 60% of Afghans can walk to a health facility, up from only 9% in 2001. There are now 16 million cellphone subscribers, up from 21,000 in 2001. Eight million kids are in school in Afghanistan, almost 40% of them girls, up from just 600,000 a decade ago. This is an imperfect science: In order to make gains, risks need to be taken. That’s what Canada did when we went into Kandahar. No, it didn’t go off without a hitch. Many Canadians lost loved ones there; so too have many Afghans. Creating legitimate institutions takes decades. Mr. Blackwell and Mr. Kay — and their sources — appear to expect Afghanistan to have graduated to middle income status as Canadians were placing their rucksacks onto the airplane. That, I’m afraid, is simply not how it works: All seeds need time to grow.”
- Afghanistan (2) AFG’s envoy to Canada on the situation “Looking for al-Qaida in Afghanistan is like looking for Paris in the United Kingdom, Afghan Ambassador Barna Karimi recently told an audience at Carleton University. “If we look at the map of the United Kingdom, we can see London but we cannot see Paris,” Karimi said. “Because Paris isn’t in the U.K., it’s in France. Looking for al-Qaida in Afghanistan, when we all know it’s somewhere else, is the same thing. I think it needs another approach.” Karimi was careful not to name Pakistan, the neighbouring country where he suggested al-Qaida resides, but said: “Everybody knows where they are, where they’re launching their activities. We’ve been saying this from 2003/2004, that the war on terror should go to the places where those terrorists are.” Karimi’s talk, the first of the Ambassadors Speakers series put on by the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, was supposed to look at what will happen in Afghanistan beyond 2014 and to do that, Karimi looked at what has happened since 2001, when al-Qaida orchestrated the events of 9/11 and the world started paying attention to Afghanistan again. Predicting what will happen beyond 2014, when the Americans withdraw their troops and leave policing and governing up to the Afghan National Security Forces, the Afghan police and the government of President Hamid Karzai, is anyone’s guess, he said ….”
- Afghanistan (3) Be careful what you wish for, Mr. President …. “Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai said Thursday the nation’s military and police are ready and willing to take full responsibility for security in the country if the U.S.-led international coalition decides to speed up the handover to Afghan government forces. With support for the already unpopular war fading in the West, there has been growing speculation that NATO could accelerate withdrawal plans that currently call for the security transition to Afghan forces to be complete by the end of 2014, when all foreign combat troops are scheduled to leave the country. “Afghans are ready to expedite the process of transition if necessary, and willing as well,” Karzai said during a joint news conference with NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. “So this is in all aspects good news for us and good news for NATO.” ….”

- “The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, celebrated the ‘send-off’ of the Sapphire small satellite at the Canadian Space Agency’s David Florida Laboratory in Ottawa …. Canada’s Sapphire is the Department of National Defence’s first dedicated operational military satellite. This space-based electro-optical sensor will track man-made space objects in high Earth orbit as part of Canada’s continued support of Space Situational Awareness. Data from the Sapphire satellite will contribute to the U.S. Space Surveillance Network, enhancing the ability of both countries to detect and avoid the collision of critical space platforms with other orbital objects. Canada’s contribution also ensures access to orbital data on space objects. MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA), as the primary contractor, has built the satellite and developed the Sapphire system following an open, transparent, and fair competition at a cost of under $66 million. Work on the design and development phases of Sapphire employed an average of 45 Canadians in skilled space sector jobs ….”
- The CF Info-machine freshens up its fact sheet on women in the military
- I can imagine how well this ceasefire.ca initiative is going to go down in some minds…. “…. We will launch a special Remembrance Day action to ask Canadians to remember peace, not celebrate war ….”
- Editorial: “…. Canadian governments must take the threat of possible state interference and influence upon Chinese companies that operate in Canada, or wish to operate in Canada, seriously. The Canadian government’s decision to delay its ruling on whether to allow the purchase of Nexen by China’s state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp. is a sign that it’s taking these warnings seriously. If that means Chinese firms are restricted from being involved in sensitive technology sectors that could give Chinese companies access to reams of data, so be it. Anything less could leave our entire economy shaken and stirred.”
- More on the possible Chinese deal on Nexen “…. Canada will have to impose conditions that show it has given public concerns about Chinese investment serious consideration, but not make them so onerous that they will force the Chinese to lose face and scare them off. Canada needs huge amount of new investment to continue to develop its oil sands fields, just as it needs new investment to move the product to new markets in the face of a growing glut in North America. While allowing the deal to proceed makes sense from an economic standpoint for both China and Canada, navigating the political minefields will be tricky. For both parties the stakes are high and the decision now hangs in the balance. I believe it will be approved and both sides will declare victory. We should know for sure in about a month.”
