The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Denies Peace Negotiations, Says Media Reports About Talks Are 'Baseless Propaganda' and Part of 'Psychological Warfare'

"The enemy Has Never Contacted The Leaders of The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Let Alone Hold Any Kind of Talks With... [The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan]"

"A few days ago, The Washington Post made a claim on the basis of an unauthenticated and unfounded report that some high-ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, consisting of 15 persons, held secret talks with the Kabul regime on the instruction of the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Following that, some Afghan and world media outlets reported that talks between the delegation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the officials of the Kabul regime were in progress in the Serena Hotel in the capital city of Kabul.

"Last Monday [October 11], the Head of the Kabul puppet regime, Hamid Karzai, in an interview with the American TV network, CNN, repeated the said futile rumors, saying he had held talks with the delegations of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan over the past few months and that the process was still continuing.

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as in the past, refutes these futile claims and baseless propaganda and believes that it is a part and parcel of the regular psychological warfare of the enemy. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan wants to make it clear once again that such propaganda is usually projected and circulated by media outlets. Particularly, the enemy has never contacted the leaders of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, let alone hold any kind of talks with them. Nor has any effort been made by the enemy directly or indirectly to initiate contacts with the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan."

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Will Not Accept Any Kind of Negotiation or Ceasefire With the Invading Enemy"

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan assures the Muslim and Mujahid people of Afghanistan and all the Ummah that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will not accept any kind of negotiation or ceasefire with the invading enemy until and unless the invaders have pulled out of Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has always explained its unwavering stance regarding the negotiation and versus the futile and hackneyed propaganda of the Americans and their surrogates.

"If the talks really took place, you should produce evidence to prove the participation of the delegates of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in the negotiation. But if you think that a minuscule numbers of former officials of the Islamic Emirate who have already surrendered to you, are the representatives of the Islamic Emirate or those who were at first detained by you and now are living in Kabul under surveillance are representatives of the Islamic Emirate, and you usually present them for such purpose in public gatherings, then you should know that they are not the representatives of the Islamic Emirate nor has the Islamic Emirate given them permission to participate in these meetings or authorized them to represent the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

"We urge the Mujahid people of Afghanistan and the Mujahideen, the vanguards of the strongholds of Truth, to have trust in your leadership.,, [We] assure you that your leadership will not allow anyone to trade your blood and sacrifices for to attain any [type of] clandestine deal (with the enemy). Similarly, the Islamic Emirate once again announces its posture regarding the peace council constituted by the enemy [i.e. President Karzai]. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan believes it is a contemplated endeavor by the enemy to distract attentions from the Afghan issue and mislead the opinions of the public because the Afghans and the public of the world have already shown their negative reactions and mistrust against the said manoeuvring of the enemy."

"The Stance of the Islamic Emirate is Unequivocal and Final Regarding Negotiations – That is, Holding Negotiation With the Enemy... is a Waste of Time"

"We would like to make it clear that the stance of the Islamic Emirate is unequivocal and final regarding negotiations – that is, holding negotiation with the enemy in conditions of their military presence in Afghanistan, is a waste of time. It is not only harmful for achievement of the goal of independence of Afghanistan and establishment of a true Islamic government but gives legitimacy to the current (military) occupation of Afghanistan – thus it is a historical disloyalty to the Mujahid people of Afghanistan and the beloved country.

"If the foreign invaders and their local surrogates really want to come out of this losing war; if they want to save their reputation and sleigh off the heavy economic burden from their shoulder, to put an end to the sufferings of the Afghans and end the war, then they should consider withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan. If the enemy , on the one hand, practically insists on continuation of the war in the battlefields but, on the other hand, merely disseminates propaganda and contradictory claims about high-level talks, then it will only contribute first and foremost to the enemy’s already losing credibility and authenticity in the eyes of the Afghans and the people of the world. Nothing more than this, they will achieve..."

"Reconciliation Can Only Be Convincing When... the Invading Americans Put [Their] Signature on a Document..., Binding Them Legally to Withdraw Their Forces from Afghanistan in a Given Time-Frame"

Following are some excerpts from the October 18 statement:[2]

"The Americans and the Kabul Puppet Administration’s rulers are of the opinion that they can deceive the Afghan people for the next one or two years under the name of composition and structure of the High Peace Council, with a sole purpose to boost the American occupation and weaken the resistance.

"In retrospect, the Americans established an entity under the name of the Peace Strengthening Council some eight years ago to work in parallel with the constant and unprecedented brutality and mass murders being carried out by the invaders. The aim was to show that the jihad against the foreign occupation was a mere rebellion or had originated from the interference of the neighbors or was the result of personal grievances and resentments of the militants. Thus, they wanted to demonstrate that the foreign invasion of Afghanistan was a legitimate act and that only the Taliban and other oppositions were behind the violence in Afghanistan. By doing so, they tried to prove that it is the Taliban that has been flaring up the flames of war.

"But when the Americans reached the conclusion that the Peace Strengthening Council had failed to persuade any group of the armed Mujahideen to lay down its arms and surrender, they resorted to another ploy under the name of the High Peace Council to deceive the Afghan people. Hence, they want to show that they have a reconciliation agenda besides their war-mongering policy and continuous brutality. But in fact, they are intending to beef up the occupation through both conduits.

"However, the Afghans do not give an iota of importance to all these commissions and jirgas [councils of elders] because they know that only those figures have been selected in the so-called reconciliation councils who are already implicated in betrayal to the country and Islamic values and [are responsible for] provocation of frictions among people during the past nine years. On the other hand, this reality is not hidden from the eyes of the people [who see] that the Americans use these figureheads only as pawns, and are not ready to give them any authority. Rather they [the Americans] are trying to discredit them and slur their reputation.

"The reconciliation propaganda launched by the Americans and the Kabul Puppet Administration is meaningless in the light of this hard fact... [of] how a reconciliation can materialize in the... presence of more than 100,000 foreign troops, armed with motley of weapons, aircraft, missiles, tanks and other warfare hardware.

The rationale for reconciliation can only be convincing when, at least, the invading Americans put [their] signature on a document before the people of Afghanistan and the world, binding them legally to withdraw their forces from Afghanistan in a given time-frame.

"This is necessary because the Kabul mercenary government has signed various agreements with the Americans which allow them to keep their troops stationed in Afghanistan for tens of years."
