[00:08:05] Happy Freedom Day, Victory Day, [00:08:08] Victory Day of truth over falsehood. [00:08:15] Mr. Mufti Sahib Latifullah Hakimi, Chief Inspector [00:08:19] of the Ministry of Defense, [00:08:22] gave valuable speeches in Iran. [00:08:24] I don't want to speak [00:08:27] for too long. I just want to clarify [00:08:31] my speeches [00:08:35] and my messages to you and the dear ones [00:08:39] who are watching us, [00:08:42] and whose voices reach them, and to the dear [00:08:46] nation and to the world [00:08:48] in [00:08:50] a few minutes. First of all, we thank God [00:08:54] for the great blessing [00:08:57] of victory, for the great blessing [00:09:00] of victory, for the twenty-fourth of Asad, [00:09:04] for accepting the [00:09:08] blood of our martyrs, for accepting the prayers [00:09:12] of the oppressed who [00:09:15] in the past 20 years, for [00:09:19] reaching the twenty-fourth of Asad, [00:09:22] for the coming of independence, for [00:09:25] the coming of freedom, [00:09:27] prayed. In general, we thank [00:09:31] God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon [00:09:35] us, especially this [00:09:39] great blessing of victory. We thank [00:09:53] Him. In the second step, we send good wishes to the soul [00:10:01] of Amir al-Mu'minin Mullah Muhammad Omar, the late [00:10:05] Mujahid, and also to the soul of Akhtar [00:10:09] Muhammad Mansour, Amir al-Mu'minin. [00:10:25] They made the people [00:10:28] of Afghanistan once again in history the owners [00:10:32] of a great victory, the owners of freedom and greatness. [00:10:35] And also, it is worth thanking Sheikh [00:10:39] Sahib, Amir al-Mu'minin Hafizullah, for his wise [00:10:42] policy. So far, thank God, our system [00:10:46] is going well and we have significant progress. [00:10:50] We also thank Sheikh Sahib [00:10:53] Hafizullah for [00:10:56] establishing the Prophet of God in the conquest [00:10:59] of Mecca. When the conquest of Mecca came, before the conquest [00:11:03] of Mecca, [00:11:06] there were situations that occurred. The people [00:11:09] who lived in Mecca during the conquest of Mecca were wondering [00:11:13] what would happen after the conquest of Mecca. [00:11:15] But when the conquest of Mecca [00:11:19] occurred, people [00:11:23] were all waiting for the Prophet. [00:11:55] We should thank him and remember [00:11:59] him in our prayers. [00:12:02] In the third step, it is appropriate to send [00:12:05] good wishes to the souls. We salute [00:12:08] the families of the martyrs, we [00:12:11] say hello. Today, August [00:12:14] 15th, Victory Day, we are [00:12:18] celebrating the fifth anniversary of the victory, but the martyrs [00:12:21] are missing. We became victorious. [00:12:26] Thanks to the sacrifice of the martyrs, so it is appropriate to congratulate them on this [00:12:30] great victory, on this great day. [00:12:33] We say congratulations to the families of the martyrs, to the orphans [00:12:37] of the martyrs, to those who were martyred in this path, to [00:12:40] their families, to those who were injured, crippled, [00:12:43] and still [00:12:46] have the effects of jihad in their bodies. We must tell [00:12:49] them, and also, it is appropriate [00:12:52] to congratulate you, dear ones, on this great day. [00:12:56] To you, the appointed officials of the Ministry of Defense, to you, [00:12:59] the leaders of the Ministry of Defense, who in the most difficult situations [00:13:03] sacrifice your lives, your comfort, your [00:13:07] peace for the security and tranquility of your nation, [00:13:10] I must say congratulations to you. Congratulations [00:13:13] on this great day, [00:13:16] this victory. [00:13:20] Indeed, the 24th of Asad has its own message. [00:13:24] Yes, it has a message for the people. It has a message [00:13:27] for the dear and heroic nation of Afghanistan. It has a message [00:13:31] for you. It has a message for the invaders [00:13:33] who always [00:13:36] want to make weak nations or [00:13:40] nations that have less power the target [00:13:43] of aggression. Yes, [00:13:46] it has a message of gratitude [00:13:50] for the dear nation. It has a message of appreciation. The dear [00:13:53] nation must appreciate this great day, appreciate [00:13:57] this victory. Because [00:13:59] if we looked at the past 20 years, during [00:14:03] the occupation, what situation we were in, we had no [00:14:07] security, no peace. Different segments of society [00:14:11] were under torment, under rubble, [00:14:14] under bombardment, under war. But on August [00:14:18] 15th, when the dawn of freedom, the dawn [00:14:21] of independence, when the sun of freedom rose [00:14:25] in Afghanistan, [00:14:27] yes, all insecurity, all fatigue, [00:14:31] all war, all displacement ended. [00:14:34] So [00:14:39] we must appreciate this day. We must appreciate [00:14:43] the victory and thank [00:14:46] God. Yes, [00:14:49] the message of August 15th to you, [00:14:52] Mujahideen, appointed officials of the Ministry of Defense, [00:14:55] security forces. Or the defense of the country [00:14:58] is to be kind [00:15:01] and grateful to our [00:15:04] people. Let us have mercy [00:15:06] on our people. [00:15:09] Muhammad [00:15:12] Rasulullah. Yes, August 15th, the day of victory, [00:15:16] victory has come, triumph has come. We must be kind [00:15:19] to our people, to our nation, to our comrades, to different [00:15:23] segments of the Muslim society. We must be kind, give [00:15:27] a message of mercy. [00:15:30] Also, the message of August [00:15:32] 15th to the aggressors and arrogant ones is [00:15:35] that aggression, [00:15:39] arrogance, and tyranny [00:15:41] will never continue. Always, [00:15:45] aggression ultimately leads to defeat. [00:15:48] Aggression ultimately leads to destruction. [00:15:51] Yes, August 15th once again proved [00:15:54] that Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. [00:15:58] It is the graveyard of aggressors. [00:16:02] And [00:16:05] this message of the 24th [00:16:08] is for every other arrogant person who [00:16:11] wants to occupy a nation, a country, another place [00:16:14] under their colonialism and aggression. Their arrogance [00:16:17] and aggression [00:16:21] have an end. And also, Afghanistan [00:16:24] cannot and will not be a prey [00:16:27] for any aggressor. This is the message of the 24th of Asad [00:16:31] for them. And finally, [00:16:33] I want to convey [00:16:37] another point to you, dear ones, and through [00:16:40] the public radio of Afghanistan to the dear nation [00:16:44] and to the world, [00:16:45] that [00:16:49] the spokesman of the military [00:16:51] regime of Pakistan a few days ago [00:16:55] accused the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan of friendship [00:16:59] with infidels. I am [00:17:01] surprised with what [00:17:04] audacity he speaks such words. It [00:17:07] is surprising that someone [00:17:11] who is drowned in filth and impurity up to his neck [00:17:15] accuses us of impurity and tells us that our [00:17:19] skirts are impure. It is strange [00:17:21] that those who [00:17:25] in the cry of Takbir, Allah [00:17:29] Akbar, those who in their history have nothing [00:17:32] but servitude and nothing but flattery and nothing [00:17:35] but friendship with infidels have no record [00:17:39] of that. Now they accuse us of friendship [00:17:43] with infidels. It is strange. [00:17:45] Therefore, it is better that they look at themselves [00:17:48] and reflect on themselves. [00:17:52] Once again, at the end, I congratulate [00:17:55] you and the people of Afghanistan [00:17:59] on this great and glorious [00:18:01] day, August 15th. [00:18:04] And also, I send good wishes to the martyrs. [00:18:08] We send blessings to the Prophet of God [00:18:11] and other companions [00:18:14] and the souls of the martyrs. We say [00:18:18] that you are missed today, August [00:18:21] 15th. We are celebrating the fifth anniversary, but the [00:18:24] martyrs are missed. [00:18:25] May Allah reward [00:18:32] you and bless [00:18:35] you. Thank you [00:18:37] very much to the honorable Mufti Inayatullah Kharazmi, Head of Information, [00:18:41] Publication and Strategic Affairs of the Ministry of Defense, who delivered [00:18:44] his speech. Now we hand [00:18:47] over the speech to the young officer Haji Ashiqala [00:18:51] so that he can share his memories of the jihad period with [00:19:06] us. Peace [00:24:36] be upon you. The message is that they will [00:24:39] have the courage in the future to [00:24:41] invade the land of Afghanistan. [00:24:48] The program [00:29:02] was a journey for the Islamic [00:29:05] army, such a journey that the Islamic army [00:29:08] worked a lot in terms of equipping [00:29:11] and [00:29:15] in terms of professional training. They [00:29:18] did [00:29:26] a lot of work.
