Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding defeat of Soviet Union on 26th Dalwa

26th of Dalwa is a day in history when the Afghans – with Divine Help of Allah Almighty – defeated a global superpower while humiliating and subduing their Khalq and Parcham lackeys in front of the entire world.

It was on the 26th of Dalwa 1367 (Hijri Solar) when the last Soviet troops left Afghanistan by crossing the Amu River Bridge and with it our Mujahid nation sank the life boat of an international colonial bloc.

On this day the most weak and defenseless nation on the face of the earth defeated the savage Red Army whom, with the help of a few consciousless allies, tried to attain their goals by using all its power and carrying out unspeakable atrocities in our homeland that would horrify both the tongue and the ears.

The military and ideological invasion of our beloved homeland by the Soviet Union and their internal puppets began a three-decade cycle of tragedies. The crisis and calamities plaguing our country thirty-one years later have direct links with that disastrous communist experience.

If the current western invaders and in general NATO and their puppets have any sense then they should take heed from the defeat of the Soviet Union and their internal stooges. If they continue to insist upon their master servant policy then without a doubt, they shall be faced with the same disgrace and defeat which was faced by the followers of communism and of which they are annually reminded about every 26th of Dalwa.

This great historical day and incident proves that no amount of material effort, money, power or devious schemes can ever impose foreign doctrines on Afghanistan and the Afghans nor can it transform this Jihadic land into a client state.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers 26th of Dalwa a day of salvation for our homeland from the military invasion of the Soviet Union and its communist ideology and feels a sense of pride in this freedom. It also vows – as the heir of martyrs and pure aspiration of the former and current Jihad – to free our homeland from the current American invasion and its manifest evil and restore the glory and honor of this proud nation, Allah willing.

The Islamic Emirate – alongside congratulating its nation on the occasion of 26th of Dalwa – believes that the pure aspirations of our martyrs, orphans, disabled and displaced shall be attained with the blessing of the ongoing Jihad and this oppressed nation shall once again find salvation from the current calamities with the Divine Help of its Great Lord Almighty.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
