Remarks by spokesman of Islamic Emirate concerning statement by representatives of some countries

Representatives of a number of European and other countries have baselessly asserted through a statement that the Islamic Emirate is continuing a senseless war, is killing civilians, is destroying public infrastructure and is involved in assassinations.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan rejects all such allegations.

All charges which they have leveled are unsubstantiated. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has absolutely no hand in civilian killings and neither is it involved in the destruction of public infrastructure, rather it considers safeguarding and securing public infrastructure its own responsibility.

The policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the very outset has been to resolve issues through dialogue.

The principle and leading cause for the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan is foreign occupation from which the Afghans have died for a full two decades, which has imposed on our people an impotent administration and which is still continuing to lend support to this corrupt regime.

Unfortunately, most countries including the European Union are either directly or indirectly involved in the tragedies, destruction, bombings, killings and various other crimes being experienced by our people for the past twenty years, and some are still exerting efforts to extend the presence of foreign occupation forces in Afghanistan and to prolong the ongoing conflict.

The Islamic Emirate has a legal right to free its homeland from the presence of occupying forces with every lawful means necessary.

If the Doha agreement is implemented, it will prove beneficial and in the interest of America along with other involved countries as well as the Afghans. However, if some discard the Doha accord and keep searching for excuses to continue the war and protract the occupation, then history has proven that the Afghan Mujahid nation can valiantly defend its values, soil, homeland and rights.

Our proclamations about negotiations and dialogue must not be exploited nor mistaken for a weakness.

We have the backing of a proud and free nation that is willing to take a stand against all plots and foreign conspiracies, Allah willing.
