Response of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as regards Lisbon Meeting

On 20.11.2010 ended the meeting of 28 NATO member countries which had been held in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Participants of the meeting passed some decisions about Afghanistan. In response, the Islamic Emirate issue its stance concerning the decision as follows:

1. Seeing that the USA failed to get additional military assistance of the NATO member countries in Lisbon Meeting for prolongation of the war in Afghanistan despite her all-out efforts or at least get commitment to ensure long-term continuation of the present military power of the NATO member countries in Afghanistan, therefore, it is a good news for the Afghans and all freedom-loving people of the world and it is a sign of failure for the American government. In the past nine years, the invaders could not establish any system of governance in Kabul and they will never be able to do so in future.

2. The real solution of the Afghan issue lies in withdrawal of the foreign forces. Hence the NATO decision to start withdrawal of military forces from Afghanistan in 2014 is an irrational decision because until then, various untoward and tragic events and battles will take place as a result of this meaningless, imposed and unwinning war. The bottom line for them is to immediately implement what they would ultimately have to implement though after colossal casualties. They should not postpone withdrawal of their forces even be it for one day.


3. As far as the Mujahid people of Afghanistan are concerned, they are not ready to tolerate foreign invasion and occupation of their country even if it is for one day because of their firm determination. Nor they feel exhausted in the way of the sacred Jihad and the struggle of independence. So they will not remain silent even for a single night until and unless the goal of complete freedom and formation of an independent government is achieved. They will not wait for the time of implementation of a given decision or timetable of withdrawal.

4. Seeing that the invading forces which have come here from far-flung places, thousands of kilometers away, and want to set a timetable for withdrawal but still want to continue presence of their forces at the regional countries, therefore, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on the neighboring and regional countries to take drastic measures for a bright future of Afghanistan, the Afghans, and all the region, for good relationship and reconstruction of Afghanistan.

5. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has formulated comprehensive policy for the future Afghanistan, for efficient governance, security, Islamic justice, education, economic advancement, national unity, and a foreign policy that will ensure protection of the country against any harm of others and convince the world that the future Afghanistan will not harm them. The Islamic Emirate wants to take strong step in collaboration with all countries and in the framework of mutual respect to maintain bilateral corporation with all countries; ensure economic progress and bright future.

We consider the whole region as our home against colonialism and as a responsible force, want to play a role for peace and stability of the region in future.

Taliban's days are out-numbered. Its only a limited places the ISI can hide them at including Kurram where the turi tribes have already refused to shelter Haqqani Taliban group.

Nobody takes what Taliban say seriously, as if the international community is going to reconise a government run by Taliban after whats happened, the only country that will accept taliban is Pakistan as usual.

They are living on limited time, the 90's are long gone, attention and focus is very much on Activities of the Taliban and I guarantee you they will never ever get into power. Even the slight suggestion they will, will spark civil war in Afghanistan and bring total turmoil, Plus Pashtuns are already raising lashkars against the Taliban throughout Pashtunkhwa.

When will the ISI agent Mullah Omar show his face to the world

when civil war does break out whoz side will you take, pashtuns or northern alliance?

Thanks Fahd for this.

The Islamic Emirate's point of view is so sensible.

It's OBVIOUS there is NO NEED whatsoever for the "ISAF" forces to drag their feet like this in leaving !

I'm glad the Taliban are pressing this point so as to expose the ridiculous strategy of American blabbing away about leaving some day to quiet any - small, unfortunately! - domestic critics.

I've been saying this too: if they REALLY want to leave, there's the airport right this way !

I am pleased that they have made clearer their overall plans for the future :

"5. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has formulated comprehensive policy for the future Afghanistan, for efficient governance, security, Islamic justice, education, economic advancement, national unity, and a foreign policy that will ensure protection of the country against any harm of others and convince the world that the future Afghanistan will not harm them. The Islamic Emirate wants to take strong step in collaboration with all countries and in the framework of mutual respect to maintain bilateral corporation with all countries; ensure economic progress and bright future."

I like the way they use the word "bright" because it IS cheerful and promising of happy lives at last after decades of sorrow.

This is the best articulation about their comprehensive plans that I have seen.

I hope they can explain more in detail as the time gets nearer to implement a new, effective ruling govt in Kabul.

Mi-6 - your command of English is not fabulous.
Did you ever go to college ??

The Taliban's days are absolutely NOT numbered, it's ISAF's which are in Afghanistan.
You wrote OUT-numbered.
Let's not be a know-it-all when you clearly don't have rudimentary English skills. Amazing for someone born in Scotland or UK?
