Statement of Islamic Emirate

May 3rd 2017

Last Friday the Islamic Emirate launched their spring offensive against the remaining occupying forces and their internal mercenaries. The regime – according to their usual habit – dismissed the offensive as ‘mere propaganda’. Yet when the onslaught began, the enemy was unable to hold its own against the forces of freedom and independence. On the inauguration day of this offensive the Mujahideen captured large swathes of land including Badakhshan’s Zibak district centre.

Over the past six days of this Operation, Mujahideen have cleared large areas from enemy presence. We present a small sample of our success below.

On the second day of this Operation the Mujahideen attacked Gormach district’s (located in Badghis province) district center, command center and other defensive posts. They captured these areas by overwhelming the remaining scatterings of enemy presence.

The Mujahideen fought regime forces in Uruzgan’s provincial capital, causing heavy losses to the enemy including the destruction of 22 armored vehicles.

In Baghlan province’s Barki district, the Mujahideen captured a large valley and routed the enemy forces defending this redoubt.

In Kunar province the Mujahideen launched a volley of short-range missiles against enemy targets in the provincial capital targeting the provincial command center, intelligence center, provincial center and a nearby large enemy base.

Operation Mansouri differs from past operations in that the Mujahideen are focusing more on grabbing territory and establishing administrative bodies to govern them. Having captured large swathes of territories across the country during Operation Omari, the Mujahideen are now clearing these areas from the scattered enemy outposts and bringing the territories completely in their control. The aim is to establish the Islamic Emirate as the only operational government in these areas. The enemy, deprived from accessing the populace, can only penetrate these areas through aerial raids. The administrative bodies of the Islamic Emirate are now fully functional and governing the lives of its citizens.

Another aim of Operation Mansouri is to target foreign forces in order to compel them to rethink their failed strategy and therefore completely withdraw from our country. The risk of civilian casualties limits this aim yet the Mujahideen are focused on finding opportunities to cripple the central organs of the regime and their foreign supporters while minimizing civilian casualties in the process. So far several operations against foreign forces have been aborted due to the risk of civilian casualties.

The auspicious start of Operation Mansouri bodes a good-omen for the Mujahideen. Throughout the year we hope to capture more territory and inflict heavy casualties on foreigners in order to rid our country from the yoke of occupation and fulfill the political aspirations of our nation.

Jason, FYI

This is not an unsolicited e-mail it is in response to your previous emails asking questions. Feel free to show this to your solicitor as documents you refer to are from my husband’s legal case not just any old documents.

(You think this is a big cover-up… believe me… you don’t know the half!)

The documents you refer to from National Archives are NOT NEW. Government wrote to me repeatedly confirming a junior civil servant inadvertently destroyed their own. When they wrote the 2006 report they were sometimes relying on our media reports and what we released there… you couldn’t make it up! The documents formed part of my late husband’s litigation files (and documents he was NEVER shown at the time) and its very distressing to hear you say they are new when Pete and I have fought as long and hard as anyone for justice and used them wherever we could. Getting people to act on them is another matter!

Why do you think I wrote my dissertation challenging the FALSE government narrative? Again BLOCKED! Why do you think Colette and I worked with Jeff (Haemophilia Society) to persuade him to challenge govt narrative in the recent press release, Jeff didn’t have a lot of the information, Society documents were destroyed. Check this archived link explaining the dissertation.

Michael Young Prize winner 2009: Tackling the blood trade (ESRC Issue 4 2009)

These are the SAME documents now being released from the National Archives in batches. I discovered them in a solicitor’s office in 2006 and fought to preserve them. They were meant to be destroyed after 1991 but I rescued them. However the solicitor who was assisting me, said he had to notify government. When we wrote, they demanded them back. I fought to have them put in a neutral place but the solicitor said we had no choice and at that time although I approached the Haemophilia Society to intervene, they would not help me. There were many boxes. They were returned as part of a written agreement that they be released… these are the same documents released under the National Archives in batches. I was supposed to be informed with each release but they have gone back on their word… many were submitted to the Archer Inquiry as I tried to photocopy what I could in a short space of time and give them to solicitors who largely ignored the content. Some also went up to Penrose… neither Inquiry had a remit to find negligence, I testified not once but twice at Archer Inquiry and my written submission includes discovery of these documents, Penrose BLOCKED me from giving evidence and as Dan will confirm I have been furious over this and wrote about my being blocked to several people.

I went to media and return of documents is highlighted here in the Guardian and in the Newcastle Journal which has around 70 articles but only some remain online… however in my CRATES of evidence are hard copies of all. An inquiry would show exactly who we approached for help and when but we have been blocked all the way and at the time of my releasing information, many of my own community would not listen. Ask yourself why there is so little reference to my work on other sites, yet you will be shocked when you see the extent of the media we generated since 1994 which I have been trying to put in one archive.

Copies of lost ‘blood row’ papers found

I have no intention of being misused by media. If they want to use my husband’s litigation documents, they should bloody well listen to the background and reference how they were sourced as should any decent person!

I have recently written to government to ask why these documents are being released without reference to how they were discovered and their source which is part of the agreement. You have no idea of the efforts to get different legal firms to take these documents seriously but as Colette (Wintle) will confirm it has almost killed me in the process. Unfortunately legal representation has been dire with no less than 3 official complaints to the OSS 3 upheld and one solicitor struck off. I was writing my responses to OSS the WEEK of my husband’s funeral. My trust in people is extremely low due to my horrendous experiences over the years.

As Dan will confirm a board member of the Haemophilia Society blocked having my dissertation online even though it was awarded by the highest research body in the land in the name of a politician and the award ceremony was attended by Chris James, (Haemophilia Society) Sue Watts (Newsnight) Martin Harvey (MacFarlane Trust) and Colette… I also have a US award “for upholding truth and justice” and all the US contacts that others now have on their friends originate from me… as I have worked with these folks since the 90s and went to the US to meet many after my husband died as well as going to assist haemophiliacs in China and doing online work to assist haemophiliacs in India, Pakistan and Gaza Strip.

I did not have to do any of this, I am not a paid worker but a widow and many of our community have stayed silent over the years protecting their privacy whilst letting others take the flack for decades, costing me a lot of money as unlike other groups Haemophilia Action UK was not funded like some others. In the 90s there were only a handful of people campaigning… we campaigned alone for one year on hepatitis C arguing with the Haemophilia Society to campaign on this serious issue which they eventually took up in 1995 campaigning for a “hardship fund” while we campaigned for compensation. I have kept a document of all our campaign work over the years with dates. Much of what others use now was initiated by our group.

You also may not be aware that the 3 of the longest Standing campaigners Colette, Pete Mossman (who founded Manor House) and I were deliberately excluded from the meeting with the DOH mediator prior to the Consultation. Why … because we know too much. We objected to the Consultation in writing from day one refusing to participate and in protest at our exclusion have not signed the Haemophilia Society letter, we asked Jeff, that our objections be included but they have not been.

Over the years we have been to the GMC re testing without permission which I uncovered… BLOCKED. To the police over gross safety violations… BLOCKED by CPS… numerous firms of solicitors BLOCKED, complaints upheld. It was my husband who legally challenged the hepatitis waiver in the HIV litigation getting an opinion which was to bring about Skipton. He also went to court over Recombinant to push for safe treatment for all and was on treatment strike until his death to keep up the pressure. All of this is documented in our many media articles… which as I say you won’t find on the Timelines of other groups. It was documents sourced  by Colette Wintle and I that were the evidence from 2004 which won the JR Andrew March… “parity with Eire” was a phrase and initiative which I started in the 90s. All of this evidence will be presented at any worthwhile inquiry!

I wrote to Andy Burnham whilst he was Sec State for Health IGNORED. When he left office I wrote threatening to take him to court and he finally responded within a week… if only he had listened to me earlier when in post!

At a time when the Mujahideen have intensified their campaign against the enemy (for example the recent deadly attack against Shaheen Corps in the north killing hundreds of combatants), the regime is gripped by paralyses and anarchy. The politically and ethnically divided regime has thrown all forms of constitutional and political conventions out the window. The line of authority is devolving and blurring with each passing day. Cabinet members openly contradict and oppose government policies and directives. Each group blames the others for the ongoing chaos.

The so-called President (Ashraf Ghani) is openly mocked and challenged by the Chief Executive (Abdullah Abdullah). Parliament members openly oppose the Executive branch and consider it illegitimate. The Executive contemptuously disregards Parliament and refuses to recognize its legislative authority. General Dostum and Atta Noor proudly throw insults at each other in the media. Ahmad Zia Massoud refuses to accept Ghani’s directive removing him from his post. Each party is developing parallel links with foreign powers to strengthen their hold on power.

First the ongoing disputes between Ghani and Abdullah became an open secret before eventually spilling onto the media. Then the scandal between Dostum and Aeschi reared its head. After Dostum refused to relinquish the post of Deputy-President despite Ghani’s insistence, Ghani tried to form an alliance with Dostum’s archrival – Atta Noor. Noor who belongs to Abdullah and Zia Massoud’s Jameeat party pounced at this opportunity and was willing to risk a public break with Abdullah in exchange for the post of Deputy-President. However when Ghani announced the removal of Zia Massoud from the post of special advisor to the President, the Jameeat cadet once again closed ranks and accused Ghani of abusing his powers.

Prior to this debacle the Parliament in Kabul had declared the government of Ghani as illegal yet Ghani continued to ignore the declarations of his Parliament. The tumult of the regime is not limited to individuals but crisscrosses in policy matters as well. Ghani has signed several secret pacts with various governments and refuses to divulge their contents. The Chief Executive openly contradicts official policy be his willingness to recognize the Durrand line as the official border of Afghanistan.

The confusion and anarchy governing the regime was best illustrated after the U.S. dropped the ten-ton MOAB bomb in Nangarhar province. While Ghani publicly welcomed this war crime. On the other hand his ambassador to Pakistan and close advisor – Omar Zakhilwal – declared it a crime. Similarly while Abdullah praised this use of over-proportionate power yet his close advisor – Daud Asaas – declared the move as unacceptable.

This foreign-serving regime is daily gripped by scandals and the law of the strong prevails in the capital. At a time when the Mujahideen are daily gaining territory the regime is become dangerously close to fragmenting and violently turning on each other. Each strongman is busy building his private army and considers Ghani as a mere figurehead. In such anarchy days are becoming years and one is left to wonder just how long this rotten building starts crumbling on itself.

Two days ago the self-sacrificing soldiers of Islamic Emirate attacked Shaheen 209 Corps. Utilizing complex planning and novel tactics the Mujahideen managed to breach all of the Corps’ defensive measures and reached the most sensitive points of their base.

The Shaheen Corps is comprised of over 30,000 regime soldiers but ten Mujahideen were able to battle them out for over 8 hours and killed and injured hundreds of these American-trained soldiers and special forces. This Corps is the main army corps in northern Afghanistan and many of the regime’s brutalities in the North are carried out by this Corps.

This army corps carried out the majority of the regime’s operations in Balkh, Konduz, Takhar and Baghlan provinces. This Corps utilized brutal tactics in their operations often destroying civilian houses, arresting hundreds of countless civilians, killing women and children and generally instilling hatred and fear in the civilians. Information also suggests that this Corps played a role in the martyrdom of Konduz’ and Baghlan’s governors (Mullah Salam Akhund and Maulawi Lal Muhammad respectively). It was for these reasons that the Islamic Emirate gave its soldiers the green light to attack this loathed Corps.

This complex attack on the Shaheen Corps was intended as a deterrent from further violations of civilians by regime soldiers. Similarly this attack was a reminder to the regime soldiers that they should not needlessly sacrifice their lives for foreign occupiers and either join the ranks of the Mujahideen or else desert ranks and go back to their homes.

The soldiers of this foreign-serving regime should know that their army was set up by the Americans to fight this war on their behalf. The soldiers are trained by Americans, equipped with their weapons, and their wages paid by the Pentagon. Then how can they envisage that they fight for their homeland and not for their foreign cashiers?

No matter how many such soldiers the Americans arm and equip they will invariably face defeat in the battle field. The attack on Shaheen Corps is a clear example where ten Mujahideen faced off an army of over 30,000 regime soldiers and killed hundreds of them. Having faced such a humiliating defeat the regime tried to justify their failure by claiming that the infiltrators attacked the soldiers while they were offering Friday prayers. Audio conversations and recordings of the infiltrators during the attack clearly show that the Mujahideen attacked the Corps half an hour prior to Friday prayers while the regime soldiers were busy eating their lunch.

No matter how the regime tries to paint this attack or twist the circumstances of this humiliating defeat, foreign observers should see this as clear proof that their trained and equipped soldiers can never defeat the Mujahideen since one fights for American dollars while the other fights to liberate his land from repression. No matter how many more soldiers are trained and equipped, the end result of this sacred campaign will be the imminent liberation of our land from foreign colonization.
