Five years ago, on August 20, [00:20:33] the city of Faizabad, the capital of Badakhshan province, was [00:20:37] completely conquered by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate during [00:20:41] Operation Al-Fath. This event, according to some residents, [00:20:45] is one of the important political developments in this province.

Today, on the eve of the celebration [00:21:49] and commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the withdrawal [00:21:53] of America from Afghanistan, we value this and congratulate [00:21:56] those who have anti-American ideas [00:21:59] and those who have anti-foreign and anti-occupation [00:22:02] ideas on this day. Thank God, the Islamic Emirate [00:22:06] is serving its nation. As citizens, [00:22:09] we are extremely happy and pleased [00:22:12] with the elders of the Islamic Emirate [00:22:16] that our lives and property are safe day and night. This [00:22:34] regime that is currently ruling Afghanistan, [00:22:36] the Islamic Emirate, has come [00:22:40] with the blood of [00:22:42] thousands of young people, [00:22:46] with the efforts and struggles of the Muslim nation, [00:22:49] with the sacrifices of the Muslim nation, [00:22:52] and we have driven those forty-odd infidel [00:22:55] countries that were in Afghanistan out of Afghanistan [00:22:59] with the blessing of the blood of the martyrs. And our message [00:23:02] to the youth now is that they should stand [00:23:06] alongside the Islamic Emirate just as they were [00:23:09] standing before the conquests, giving food, giving [00:23:12] shelter, cooperating, and being present [00:23:15] in the trenches, and they should continue to stand alongside [00:23:19] the Islamic Emirate. With the passage of five [00:23:23] years since this event, the residents of Badakhshan, [00:23:26] while commemorating this day, emphasize the preservation [00:23:30] of social unity, the promotion of a spirit of empathy, and strengthening [00:23:34] interaction between citizens and officials. [00:23:37] Dear viewers, our dear colleague, Mr. Abdullah Safari, a radio reporter [00:23:41] in Badakhshan province, is with us on the phone. Mr. Safari, [00:23:45] hello and good time to you. Peace be upon you and good [00:23:48] health and well-being to you and all your technical [00:23:52] colleagues and all those who are watching program [00:23:56] 24 on Afghanistan National Television. Thank you, Mr. Safari. We are happy [00:23:59] to have you with us in the program. Can you tell us how the conquest [00:24:02] of Badakhshan province [00:24:05] by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate came about? Yes, exactly. [00:24:08] In 1400, simultaneous with the expansion of political [00:24:11] and security developments across the country, the situation [00:24:15] in Badakhshan province also changed significantly, [00:24:18] and before the conquest of the capital of Badakhshan [00:24:22] province, the districts of Badakhshan were under the control of the forces [00:24:26] of the Islamic Emirate. That is, except for the city center, [00:24:29] all the districts were under the control of the forces of the Islamic [00:24:33] Emirate of Afghanistan and all of them had been conquered. [00:24:36] And finally, on August 20, 1400, Faizabad [00:24:39] city, the capital of Badakhshan, was also completely conquered [00:24:43] by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate. And this event [00:24:47] occurred as a continuation of the widespread developments [00:25:20] that year and important political events. On this day, [00:25:23] the administration of the provincial center changes, and after [00:25:27] that, a new phase in the political and security situation [00:25:31] of Badakhshan begins. For this reason, the people [00:25:34] of Badakhshan celebrate and commemorate this proud [00:25:38] day every year, and they talk about the developments of that [00:25:42] time, the memories of the people from that time, and the moment [00:25:45] the Mujahideen entered the city and the changes that occurred [00:25:49] in the years after that. Yes, Mr. Safari, where were [00:25:52] you on this day? How effective was the role of the people [00:25:55] in the fall of this province? [00:25:58] The role of the people in the developments of Badakhshan [00:26:03] is invaluable because the people of Badakhshan were tired of the [00:26:06] war and insecurity that had plagued them for years, and they [00:26:10] wanted an end to the conflict and the establishment of widespread [00:26:14] security in their province and country. And the people tried harder in the last [00:26:18] few days to prevent the spread of conflict and insecurity [00:26:22] and to protect their lives and property. Of course, [00:26:24] the conquest of the center of Badakhshan was not due [00:26:27] to a single factor, but various political, [00:26:31] military, and social factors played a role [00:26:35] in it. Yes, Mr. Safari, can you tell us how the people [00:26:38] of Badakhshan commemorate [00:26:40] August 20th? Exactly, the people of Badakhshan organize [00:26:44] various programs to celebrate August 20th, this proud [00:26:48] and historic day, and this day that is a turning [00:26:51] point in the history of Badakhshan, including [00:26:55] meetings, cultural and social gatherings, and other programs [00:26:59] about the historical importance of this day and the developments [00:27:29] they do, because it is a long-standing desire [00:27:56] of the people. Economic, commercial, and social activities have also increased [00:28:00] and improved, and for the people, [00:28:32] in addition to that, the activities of government [00:28:35] agencies are progressing, and [00:28:39] also the implementation of some infrastructure [00:28:42] and development projects, including road construction, [00:28:45] bridge construction, and other services, [00:28:49] are among the things that people refer to more. And the people [00:28:53] of Badakhshan are hopeful that the existing stability [00:28:56] and the establishment of existing security will provide [00:29:00] more economic and social development opportunities [00:29:03] in this province. Very well. So, Mr. Safari, what memories [00:29:07] do the residents of Badakhshan have of this day, and what impact does this day [00:29:11] have on the morale of the people of Badakhshan? Yes, many [00:29:15] people of Badakhshan, people who were present in the east [00:29:18] during the conquest on that day, have different [00:29:21] memories of this day. That is, with the entry of the Mujahideen [00:29:25] into the city, all the insecurities and conflicts that the people [00:29:29] had experienced in the past, where the sound of bullets [00:29:32] and the sound of gunfire could be heard from every [00:29:36] corner, were brought to an end, and the people talk about [00:29:40] this change in the city's situation, and about this widespread [00:29:43] security, and about the end of the conflicts, and everyone [00:29:47] expresses optimism and happiness with the warm welcome [00:29:50] of the Mujahideen who enter the city, and they consider [00:29:53] August 20th to be one of the important and different [00:29:57] days in their lives, and they say that the memories of this [00:30:00] day will always remain [00:30:02] in their minds. Very good. And how happy are the residents [00:30:06] of Badakhshan with the current situation of security [00:30:09] and stability in their province? The residents of Badakhshan [00:30:13] are completely happy with the current situation because the only [00:30:16] and long-standing desire of the people [00:30:20] is the establishment of widespread security, which, thank [00:30:23] God, today, with the rule of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate in Badakhshan, [00:30:27] security has been completely established throughout [00:30:30] Afghanistan, and people are busy with their work [00:30:34] and activities and lives without any worries or [00:30:38] fears. In the past, if we look back, people [00:30:41] could not even go out of their homes after sunset, [00:30:45] but thank God, today, with the rule of the Islamic [00:30:48] Emirate and the establishment of security, people [00:30:51] fear, worry, or anxiety.
