Twenty-three years ago, on October 7, 2001, the United States, NATO, and their allied countries invaded Afghanistan. At that time, the U.S. attacked Afghanistan under the pretext that there were terrorist bases there, posing a global security threat.
As a result of this invasion, an Islamic system in Afghanistan was destroyed. The nation’s airports, public infrastructure, buildings, national resources, and other assets were systematically plundered. The U.S. occupation of Afghanistan led to egregious violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
Numerous individuals lost their lives, and thousands were detained in Guantanamo, Bagram, and Pul-e-Charkhi prisons. Any Afghan citizen who opposed the occupation was met with either death or imprisonment.
This was a dark period in Afghanistan’s history, during which the country had neither independence nor honor, nor control over its land or airspace. During this dark period, the U.S., NATO, and their internal allies committed atrocities rarely seen in modern Afghan history.
The U.S. would raid Afghan homes at night, martyring, injuring, and imprisoning Afghans with great cruelty.
Reports indicate that from 2009 to 2019, over 100,000 Afghan civilians perished in attacks carried out by the U.S. and its allies. Furthermore, there were numerous documented instances of other gross violations of human rights committed by the U.S. in Afghanistan.
However, the brave, true, and liberty-loving individuals of this country began resistance and jihad against them. The Mujahideen launched counteroffensives against the U.S., NATO, and their allies in every province, district, and village of Afghanistan, inflicting heavy financial and human losses on them.
The Mujahideen fought bravely in their jihad against them, targeting them everywhere and turning Afghan soil into a hell for the occupying forces.
Ultimately, on February 29, 2020, in Doha, Qatar, the U.S. signed a peace agreement with the Islamic Emirate.
Subsequently, the U.S. and NATO withdrew all their troops from Afghanistan, resulting in the collapse of the U.S.-backed Kabul government. On August 15, 2021, the Islamic Emirate assumed control over the entire nation.
After two decades of struggle and resistance by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate (IEA) and the Afghan populace, Afghanistan regained its independence. The re-establishment of an Islamic system and the restoration of security throughout the country marked a significant milestone.
