[00:02:30] The end of the 20-year occupation by the US-led
[00:02:32] forces
[00:02:34] is a day that holds a special place in Afghanistan's
[00:02:38] history, as it commemorates the Islamic Emirate's
[00:02:41] victory and rule.
[00:02:45] This day is
[00:02:46] celebrated.
[00:02:56] This day is the culmination of long efforts and sacrifices.
[00:05:42] The Americans' 20-year presence in Afghanistan was an invisible
[00:05:45] presence. It was a presence where they came to Afghanistan
[00:05:48] based on a few issues they had. After 2001, they
[00:05:52] wanted, according to their belief, to build Afghanistan
[00:05:56] or at least fight terrorism. But
[00:05:59] when they left Afghanistan, you saw that in their first press
[00:06:03] conference, they explicitly stated that they had not come to Afghanistan
[00:06:06] for nation-building. We pursued our goals, and we
[00:06:10] achieved them. But if we take a general look at America's 20-year
[00:06:14] presence in Afghanistan, America did nothing in Afghanistan
[00:06:18] in 20 years. If it had done something in Afghanistan, there would have been at least some
[00:06:21] signs or a method of America in Afghanistan today. Even after
[00:06:25] its departure and after leaving Afghanistan, America destroyed
[00:06:28] the equipment it had. You saw examples of this at Bagram Airfield
[00:06:32] and in some areas where America resided. We saw
[00:06:36] this. Americans, wherever they are present, it is for
[00:06:39] their personal interests, not for the national interests of countries. And
[00:06:43] they create chaos. When they fail, they leave that country. We can
[00:06:47] mention examples in Middle Eastern countries and countries where America was present.
[00:06:51] But it is the Afghan nation that has shown courage against every regime,
[00:06:55] has shown bravery, and we have resisted every country that has
[00:06:59] invaded here. I hope that America's 20-year presence
[00:07:02] will be a lesson for itself, and it will understand the failure
[00:07:06] it had in Afghanistan and accept it. And regarding
[00:07:10] not only with Afghanistan,
[00:07:40] equals that the country
[00:12:44] of the Islamic Emirate brought the torch of freedom to the Afghans.
[00:12:48] Since that day, the Islamic Emirate
[00:12:51] has focused on the country's prosperity and
[00:13:12] the establishment of nationwide security in the country and
[00:13:15] also afterwards in the country,
[00:13:18] after the war,
[00:13:22] the
[00:13:32] collection of government revenue. The system of collecting
[00:13:35] long-term tax revenues has been strengthened. The World Bank
[00:13:38] states that in the year 2022,
[00:13:40] Afghanistan's gross domestic product
[00:13:43] was around
[00:13:44] 19.88.
[00:13:52] The World Bank says that
[00:14:21] despite challenges, there was a significant increase.
[00:14:27] The implementation of infrastructure and construction projects, roads,
[00:14:31] and public buildings,
[00:14:34] construction and reconstruction projects have been continued in various provinces.
[00:14:38] شوې.
[00:14:44] The administrative center and the government operate in most parts of the country through a
[00:14:48] central government and regulate
[00:14:51] tax and public administration activities.
[00:14:58] Trade and exports of Afghanistan's exports
[00:15:01] and regional and
[00:15:04] neighboring and regional countries, efforts to expand
[00:15:07] trade relations have increased.
[00:15:10] شوي
[00:15:14] Of the Afghan people. Returnee management. In recent years,
[00:15:17] millions of returning Afghans have used government
[00:15:21] and international agencies for registration, transfer, and
[00:15:25] initial services. The World Bank estimates that
[00:15:28] from 2020 to
[00:15:31] 2025, approximately
[00:15:34] 4.8 million people will return to Afghanistan.
[00:15:38] Today, you practically know that after the fall of the republic
[00:15:41] and the arrival of the Islamic Emirate, countries had a series of concerns
[00:15:45] about Afghanistan, believing that there are terrorist groups or groups
[00:15:49] here that endanger the interests of neighbors. and
[00:15:52] these destructive actions that countries believe in today
[00:15:56] were from America. After America's withdrawal
[00:16:00] from Afghanistan, it created a belief among countries that Afghanistan
[00:16:04] is insecure or some other challenges. It even linked the issue of
[00:16:08] ISIS's presence to Afghanistan, which is unacceptable today.
[00:16:11] We do not see signs of ISIS and groups
[00:16:15] that would worsen Afghanistan's security inside Afghanistan. Therefore,
[00:16:19] this was one of the challenges that America imposed on Afghanistan
[00:16:23] and made countries disbelieve in Afghanistan. They even
[00:16:26] raised border problems, they raised problems that
[00:16:30] supposedly forces that Afghanistan
[00:16:34] is a threat to them. As the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly stated,
[00:16:46] not only America but any country that came to Afghanistan, meaning in the
[00:16:49] past, from the time of the British, Russians, and Americans, they should understand
[00:16:53] that the capabilities and potentials they had in
[00:16:57] other countries were not applicable to Afghanistan because the people of
[00:17:00] Afghanistan are mujahideen by birth and have resisted every regime,
[00:17:04] even at the cost of their lives and property. You see examples after
[00:17:08] America's withdrawal, how many sacrifices the people have made. And this country
[00:17:11] is a land that has resisted empires, and in the
[00:17:14] words of the Americans themselves, this is the land or the graveyard
[00:17:17] of empires, and the English horn was broken here, as were the Russians and
[00:17:21] Americans who were present here with NATO forces. And America should understand
[00:17:25] that the only way it can get closer to Afghanistan
[00:17:29] is through diplomacy and accepting the objective realities of Afghanistan, and it should
[00:17:32] reopen its embassy. Overall, diplomatic relations are in the
[00:17:36] interest of Afghanistan, not against it.
[00:18:43] This was not enough, but considering the available facilities and conditions, there were activities in Afghanistan.
[00:18:46] This means that we cannot generally conclude
[00:18:49] that activities in this area
[00:18:53] have approached zero, because this was not nothing, but because there has been
[00:18:57] war in Afghanistan for many years
[00:19:00] due to wars, demand is greater, supply
[00:19:03] is limited, but the balance between supply and demand needs.
[00:19:31] The country's development, economy,
[00:19:34] education, justice.
[00:24:03] Responsibility
[00:24:10] is sensitive and sacred
[00:24:10] for the country.
[00:24:54] With the establishment of the Islamic Emirate, the Afghan Islamic Army
[00:24:58] is taking stronger steps than ever before
[00:25:00] with modern equipment
[00:25:04] to protect and support Islamic values.
[00:25:48] Every mujahid person is their own
[00:30:14] guardian and follower of the martyrs. This is the family of martyrs.
