New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan's Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Reaction Regarding Remarks Of American General Nicholson"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Yesterday, the commander of US invaders, General John Nicholson, told the media that they encourage operations of Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate against Daesh in Afghanistan and other such talks.
Islamic Emirate views that, the petition remarks of American general was made to help the Daesh insurrection and want to clear that elimination of Daesh insurgency is Islamic Emirate’s religious stance which is a matter of highest interest of the country and does not need to be encouraged by any foreign side.
The American general should not encourage someone’s war against Daesh, but should stop its aerial, logistical, intelligence and media support and promotion of Daesh in Nangarhar and Jawzjan provinces.
Nicholson made statement in media against Daesh when only a day before American airplanes, under his command, several times bombed Mujahideen defense line in Darzab district of Jawzjan province in support of Daesh insurgents, in order to avert its eradication.
Similarly, when Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate launched operations for complete elimination of Daesh insurgents in Nangarhar and other areas, the American invaders had supported Daesh Heller and bombarded in its favor.
The American general’s statement is to help Daesh by providing it a propaganda item against Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate.
Several times Americans have published reports for benefits and exaggeration of Daesh and are using visible and covert plots for reinforcement of it.
Islamic Emirate assures its nation that as it has pledged jihad and freedom struggle against invaders, it will also purged so called Daesh insurgency despite American support and will save nation from it, Inshallah.
