It
is with great sorrow that reports have been received from Kunar
province’s Shigal district that indiscriminate airstrikes and direct
shootings by invaders and hireling troops in Soltan valley has left
twenty two (22) innocent civilians martyred most of which are women and
children. The incident unfolded after the foreign invaders and their
hirelings suffered heavy losses after facing stiff Mujahideen resistance
while trying to launch an operation in the area. The enemy, in
accordance with its normal protocol, began indiscriminate blind
airstrikes which caused the above mentioned losses, amongst which are
thirteen children, on top of which 6 Mujahideen were also martyred in
the face to face clashes, Surely to Allah we belong and to him is the
return.
Locals of the area, while trying to take
the bodies of the martyrs to the district bazaar to protest this crime
and show the world the innocence of the oppressed Afghans, were
encountered by puppet forces who retaliated with indiscriminate fire,
causing the civilians further casualties.
We ask all independent and free
institutions, human right organizations and media outlets, as is your
due obligation, to break your long silence against the crimes of the
invaders and the Kabul regime’s army, police and Arbakis (militia)
perpetrated throughout the country. As you promote the beautiful slogans
of impartiality and peace therefore you must practically show it to the
nation and the world. If you really want the nation to view you as
their well-wishers then now is your opportunity to not close your eyes
on the crime of the invaders and their hirelings perpetrated against
your nation. Publish a written statement at the very least!
The Islamic Emirate condemns the above
mentioned unforgivable crime of the invaders and Karzai’s abhorrent
regime and assures its oppressed nation that it shall avenge your
martyred women, elderly and children. The Islamic Emirate shares the
grief of its countrymen and asks Allah (SWT) for patience, perseverance
and a high place in Jannah for the martyrs.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
