[00:00:00] it makes it sunny, so based on that, I think that this urgent need
[00:00:04] is not only for the leadership of the Islamic Emirate or the current
[00:00:07] system. All ethnic groups and different strata, all scholars
[00:00:10] of Afghanistan, must believe in justice. The implementation
[00:00:13] of social justice for the Islamic Ummah is, in a sense,
[00:00:17] an obligation that even, in a sense, has a religious
[00:00:20] background. Based on that, I think that we live in a geography
[00:00:24] where there have always been inequalities, hardships,
[00:00:28] and it has been a geography where the countries that you
[00:00:32] mentioned in your previous question, who were present inside Afghanistan, tried
[00:00:35] to usurp justice, tried to bring people
[00:00:39] to the head of the system or to the head of power who would, in a sense, remove
[00:00:43] the true meaning of justice and try to work according
[00:00:47] to the specific desires of the countries that have always
[00:00:51] been their patrons and have always supported them, and they tried to at least
[00:00:55] remove justice from the Islamic Ummah and ultimately from the people of Afghanistan.
[00:00:58] But in the current circumstances, it is imperative that the Islamic Emirate
[00:01:02] first try to open its arms to the people of Afghanistan. When
[00:01:06] the chest of the Islamic Emirate is open, when social justice
[00:01:09] is established for all scholars and strata of Afghanistan,
[00:01:12] naturally, people will believe that the Islamic system can
[00:01:16] be responsive to all Islamic, human, and civil values
[00:01:20] of the people of Afghanistan. Mr. Sa'el, the nation of Afghanistan is wounded. 5
[00:01:23] decades of war and misfortune have scattered all the people
[00:01:27] of Afghanistan today. You witnessed that in the
[00:01:31] past, the countries that were present inside Afghanistan, each of them
[00:01:34] had deployed agents who came to Afghanistan and wanted
[00:01:38] to judge unilaterally and one-sidedly, and they wanted,
[00:01:42] in a sense, in response to inequalities, to remain silent
[00:01:45] about it. But when we talk about an Islamic system, an Islamic system
[00:01:49] must be based on justice. When justice is established,
[00:01:53] there is no longer any back and forth between the government. How much,
[00:01:56] compared to the past that you also mentioned, has the skirt of injustice
[00:02:00] been removed from Afghanistan? I hope that it will be removed.
[00:02:04] The skirt of injustice, as I mentioned earlier, Afghanistan
[00:02:07] is a multi-ethnic land. When you go to a garden, the beauty of a
[00:02:11] garden is in the presence of colorful flowers. When
[00:02:14] there are different ethnic groups and strata of society
[00:02:18] on a tablecloth that is spread in Afghanistan, when there are colorful
[00:02:21] flowers, naturally, justice expresses its true meaning. The Islamic Emirate
[00:02:25] has tried for 5 years to establish justice among the ethnic groups and different
[00:02:29] strata of society.
[00:03:30] The rulings of Sharia are applied here, naturally, the nation becomes happy,
[00:03:33] the nation becomes pleased, because the people of Afghanistan are born Muslims,
[00:03:37] born from Muslim mothers. We have seen for 20 years that the Westerners,
[00:03:41] in a sense, launched cold wars
[00:03:43] inside Afghanistan in various ways. They tried to bring a cultural invasion
[00:03:47] inside Afghanistan. You even witnessed that they often
[00:03:51] wanted to change the mindset of our youth, they wanted to prepare
[00:03:54] everything according to their own desires and culture,
[00:03:57] because social justice was not established here,
[00:04:01] the application of Sharia was not truly present, and for example, it was a republican
[00:04:05] system, but everything was implemented according to the wishes of Westerners and Easterners.
[00:04:08] Therefore, in the current circumstances, it is necessary for the Islamic Emirate,
[00:04:12] just as it celebrated its fifth year
[00:04:15] and shared this celebration with the people of Afghanistan, it would be good
[00:04:18] for it to address some small and minor challenges
[00:04:22] that are currently, in a sense, among the people of Afghanistan,
[00:04:25] or to reflect on them. The more a system has popular support,
[00:04:29] the more systems stand with the nation, because
[00:04:33] there is a nation that has a system; if there is no nation, there is no system. Why, in the past, despite
[00:04:36] the presence of NATO forces, America, and most countries in Afghanistan,
[00:04:40] did the governments not have popular support? The will of the people, or, in other words,
[00:04:44] the words of the people, were not paid attention to. A small group held everything hostage.
[00:04:47] They neither had respect for justice nor for mutual acceptance,
[00:04:51] and they thought that they would remain in power permanently.
[00:04:54] But when the Islamic Emirate came, I hope that
[00:04:58] the Islamic Emirate will make up for that past. It should review
[00:05:01] the political history of Afghanistan. It should always
[00:05:05] move in line with the people of Afghanistan, which it has been doing, and good relations
[00:05:09] between the nation and the government make governments sustainable.
[00:16:37] What does the United Nations and the international community want
[00:16:41] from Afghanistan to be recognized? Security is established.
[00:16:44] There is no threat from
[00:16:48] Afghanistan to any country.
[00:16:51] Also, the people who are also pleased, what do
[00:16:54] they really want? First,
[00:16:56] it should be asked who is at the head
[00:17:00] of the United Nations? Who manages the apparatus of the United Nations?
[00:17:04] And whose agent is the United Nations? The United Nations
[00:17:08] is an agent of those who were present inside Afghanistan for 20 years,
[00:17:11] and as I mentioned before, their last soldier left
[00:17:15] Afghanistan at night, and according to them, when they returned
[00:17:18] from Afghanistan, they had a conference and said, "We feel guilty about Afghanistan,"
[00:17:22] and they should have felt guilty. The reason is clear
[00:17:25] that when they left Afghanistan, they even destroyed
[00:17:29] the cars they had bought here, they destroyed the paper
[00:17:33] houses they had built here, and the apparatus they had
[00:17:36] inside Afghanistan. They destroyed everything. If they had come
[00:17:40] to Afghanistan for nation-building and with the international community,
[00:17:44] they would not have done that, and they themselves said that we did not go to Afghanistan for nation-building,
[00:17:48] we went for our own goals, and they did not achieve their goals,
[00:17:51] and they were humiliated again, they returned to their country. Today, the international
[00:17:55] community's view of Afghanistan has always been populist,
[00:17:58] it has been a dual view. They have never seen Afghanistan as human.
[00:18:02] Afghanistan has always presented a strategic confrontation to countries.
[00:18:06] It has been a springboard for countries that are members of the United Nations
[00:18:09] and have influenced the apparatus of the United Nations. It has always
[00:18:13] presented them. Today, Afghanistan is the most secure geography in Central
[00:18:16] Asia. This is an undeniable truth. The whole world must
[00:18:20] understand that today there is no war in Afghanistan, there is no insecurity
[00:18:24] in Afghanistan, there is stability in Afghanistan. In the past,
[00:18:27] you could not travel to one district. Afghanistan
[00:18:31] is diverse, with multiple districts, but those who were in one district
[00:18:35] could not travel from one district to their province, to another district.
[00:18:38] Today, the borders of Afghanistan are under the control of the Islamic Emirate,
[00:18:42] under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate. Even neighboring
[00:18:44] countries often send their tourists to Afghanistan.
[00:18:48] They take pictures and videos inside Afghanistan, and they come here
[00:18:52] to see all the fundamental and historical sites of Afghanistan
[00:18:55] up close. So what excuse does the international community have?
[00:18:59] Is the international community only looking to bring back the burnt
[00:19:03] pawns into Afghanistan, to bring back Western and Eastern countries
[00:19:06] into Afghanistan so that they threaten Afghanistan's security,
[00:19:10] undermine Afghanistan's interests, and bring back their deployed agents
[00:19:14] to work for their apparatus? This is a dream and an illusion. Today,
[00:19:17] the arrogance that the international community and the United Nations
[00:19:21] had towards Afghanistan for the past 20 years, they don't have
[00:19:24] it today. Today they understand that their hands are cut short
[00:19:28] in Afghanistan. With various excuses, they always portray a negative
[00:19:31] image of Afghanistan in the world. If I were to say, from the perspective of the international community,
[00:19:34] the United Nations officially defines...
[00:19:43] I think that if the recognition is based on their own beliefs, meaning that the Islamic Emirate should do whatever they expect and anticipate,
[00:19:46] and act according to their desires and wishes, that would be a great
[00:19:50] injustice to the current system and to a geography
[00:19:54] that has experienced more than five or six decades of war and misfortune,
[00:19:58] with more than three or four million martyrs, injured,
[00:20:00] disabled, and handicapped inside Afghanistan. If,
[00:20:04] in a sense, the international community's definition is why we do not recognize
[00:20:08] the Islamic Emirate, I think that today the Islamic Emirate
[00:20:11] controls the geography of Afghanistan. The political geography of Afghanistan is under the leadership
[00:20:15] of the Islamic Emirate. The borders of Afghanistan are under the control of the Islamic Emirate. If
[00:20:18] the goal of the international community is to once again
[00:20:22] monopolize the geography of Afghanistan, to control it,
[00:20:26] to encourage and entice countries to control the political
[00:20:29] geography and to threaten their rivals from here,
[00:20:32] well, that is truly unbelievable and unfair. Today,
[00:20:36] Afghanistan...
[00:20:50] wanted to impose all their demands on the people of Afghanistan. Today,
[00:20:53] for example, Afghanistan's funds are frozen in the World Bank.
[00:20:57] It is financial support for Afghanistan, but then they say Afghanistan is below
[00:21:00] the poverty line. If you give Afghanistan's funds to the people of Afghanistan,
[00:21:04] well, naturally, they can do business. Let's leave that aside.
[00:21:07] Is it currently acceptable to the people
[00:21:10] of Afghanistan to follow the West's dictates? Absolutely not.
[00:21:14] Today, the people of Afghanistan have achieved freedom, they have achieved independence. Today, a five-year-old
[00:21:17] Afghan child understands all these issues.
[00:21:22] The people of Afghanistan, or the United Nations and human rights organizations,
[00:21:26] were lenient towards the people of Afghanistan. Why today are migrants being expelled from their
[00:21:30] countries? With disrespect, migrants are being expelled from their countries.
[00:21:33] So, the views regarding Afghanistan are dual views. They have never
[00:21:37] seen Afghanistan from one perspective. They have never thought that Afghanistan
[00:21:41] is a member of the international community, that people live here. Today,
[00:21:45] there is equality, justice, fairness, and everything is taken into account. But because
[00:21:49] their attention and expectation is that the Emirate will once again
[00:21:52] incline towards the international community and the United Nations, and adopt
[00:21:56] a policy of supplication. The people of Afghanistan will not accept a policy of supplication. If
[00:22:00] they wanted a policy of supplication, why did six or seven superpowers
[00:22:04] come into Afghanistan? They tasted Afghanistan's wrath here, and finally, their last
[00:22:07] soldier left Afghanistan, and they themselves said that
[00:22:10] Afghanistan is the land or graveyard of empires, and they broke their horns here.
[00:22:14] Today, the people of Afghanistan, more than anything, want unity.
[00:22:18] Unity has been established among the people of Afghanistan.
[00:22:54] try to circumvent the people of Afghanistan. They are trying once again to make
[00:22:58] the people of Afghanistan make sacrifices. They want once again to start
[00:23:01] the game of factionalism inside Afghanistan. In the past, you
[00:23:05] saw that there were many factions inside Afghanistan, and they
[00:23:09] pitted the nation against each other, and they tried to instigate
[00:23:12] ethnic and religious discord inside Afghanistan. Today, the people of Afghanistan
[00:23:16] have reached the belief that they stood up on their own, and every
[00:29:17] region has it that when Afghanistan is safe, naturally
[00:29:20] the countries of the region are safe. Today, there is stability and peace inside Afghanistan. If
[00:29:24] the countries of the region want good relations, which most countries
[00:29:27] do not have with the Islamic Emirate, the door of Kabul is open
[00:29:30] to them. Come, open an embassy, open a consulate.
[00:29:34] The people of Afghanistan will welcome them. The current system will welcome them, and most importantly,
[00:29:38] the conditions are completely favorable. The Islamic Emirate is in the field,
[00:29:42] it should try to use these current conditions that the Islamic Emirate
[00:29:46] has achieved. It should use this opportunity. It should always
[00:29:49] turn challenges into opportunities and have a clear message
[00:29:52] for those who oppose the homeland, the country,
[00:29:56] and the system. Today, what is important in the current situation
[00:29:59] is that, in politics, what is common is that we make our enemies friends, not that we make our friends
[00:30:03] enemies. With one voice, with all ethnic groups and groups that are outside Afghanistan,
[00:30:06] and I swear to God, no place is as valuable
[00:30:10] to them as their country, as their homeland. They want to die in this homeland, build
[00:30:14] this homeland, and their homeland, wherever in the world they
[00:30:17] want to have comfort, they are seen with contempt as immigrants.
[00:30:21] The best opportunity is that today the contact commission with personalities
[00:30:25] is in Kabul, and efforts should be made to invite those who are currently, in a sense,
[00:30:29] raising some voices, to come to Afghanistan.
