Four years ago today, the last American soldier departed from Afghanistan. Like his comrades, he had been sent to this country under the orders of his masters to carry out a destructive mission. That mission was designed to plunder Afghanistan’s natural resources and undermine the steadfast beliefs of its people. Yet this nation, for decades, resisted the world’s greatest armies and demonstrated that it would never submit to any superpower.
America invaded Afghanistan with the hope of breaking the nation’s faith. After twenty years of relentless war against the defenders of Islam and the true sons of this land, and after suffering enormous financial and human losses, it was finally compelled to withdraw. In the wake of America’s departure, its proxy, ISIS-K, cultivated under the shadow of the republican regime and the foreign occupation, soon began to collapse.
The poisonous seed planted during America’s presence was intended both to justify the occupation and to weaken the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. From behind the scenes, this group received Western support, above all from the United States, as it carried out projects of chaos and destruction.
At its outset, ISIS expanded quickly in Afghanistan, just as it had in other countries. With covert support, it managed to seize territory in several provinces. But once America fled, ISIS too, like other foreign-sponsored projects, was abandoned, left without protection, and swiftly brought to justice by the true sons of this nation.
Many believed that America had revived the ISIS-K project to obstruct the reestablishment of an Islamic system in Afghanistan and to keep the country ensnared in corruption and ruin. However, the firm and decisive struggle of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) against this malignant group, and its eventual eradication, defeated America’s designs and rendered those plans meaningless.
Contrary to expectations, ISIS-K in Afghanistan encountered a force that had already humbled the world’s superpowers. Despite limited military resources, that force, guided by unshakable faith and conviction, overcame its enemies.
The role of the Afghan people in this struggle must also be acknowledged. Their cooperation with the security institutions and special forces of the IEA ensured that ISIS-K fighters were denied safe havens across the country, leaving them with no choice but to flee.
Afghanistan’s experience has proven that no foreign power and no affiliated group can overcome the will and faith of its people. The resilience and perseverance of the Afghans, combined with the precise management of the IEA, made it clear that any scheme aimed at weakening their beliefs and erasing their identity is destined to fail, leaving behind only destruction and isolation.
This remarkable achievement not only reflects the strength of the Afghan people and the forces that rose from the heart of this land to defend independence and security, but also delivers a clear message to all enemies of Afghanistan: every attempt to impose influence or spread disorder will inevitably be defeated by the faith and unity of the Afghan nation and its security forces.
