NATO member countries once again made clear their spiteful plans concerning Afghanistan and declared that their troops will remain in Afghanistan till the end of the year 2016, will continue funding the imposed upon Kabul administration and will carry out so called ‘civilian projects’ with the aim of deceiving the Afghan people.

The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns this decision by NATO. Prolonging the occupation of Afghanistan and keeping the fire on this war alive does not only plunge the Afghans into more difficulties but it creates unrest in the wider region, wastes opportunities and further degenerates the prestige of NATO itself.

Just as the hundreds of thousands of invading troops from NATO member countries and billions of dollars failed to dent the will and determination of the Afghan nation therefore the few thousand troops restricted to fortified bases will similarly fail in achieving the colonialist goals of NATO.

History has proven that the valiant Afghan nation is not a nation which cowers rather they shall continue their sacred Jihad until the expulsion of the last remaining invader and will utilize their legal right and all means at their disposal for the liberation of their country under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate.
