00:00:33The fifth anniversary of the victory and liberation was widely celebrated by the citizens of the country.
00:00:37Citizens of the country called August 24
00:00:41a day of victory against falsehood in the history of the country
00:00:44and emphasized the preservation and support of the Islamic system, national unity, and respect for
00:00:48and sacrifices of the Mujahideen.
00:00:50The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister's Office says
00:00:54that the Islamic Emirate wants good relations within the framework of
00:00:58mutual respect with all countries of the region and the world. Mawlawi Abdul Salam
00:01:02Hanafi, who was speaking at the ceremony celebrating
00:01:05August 24, the day of the country's victory,
00:01:09emphasized that the Islamic Emirate will not allow any individual or group
00:01:12to use Afghanistan against other countries.
00:01:16In his message on
00:01:19the occasion of August 24, Minister of Defense Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid
00:01:23said that he will not allow any internal or external circles
00:01:27to undermine the security of Afghanistan.
00:01:33to seriously defend it from every corner of the country.
00:01:36The fifth anniversary of the victory of freedom was
00:01:40celebrated by the students of religious schools at the General Directorate of Radio
00:01:44Afghanistan. In this ceremony, officials of the Islamic Emirate and
00:01:47religious scholars urged the people not to fall for the deceptive
00:01:51propaganda of malicious circles and enemies of the country
00:01:55and to resist it.
00:01:58On the fifth anniversary of the victory of August 24,
00:02:02the air force of the Ministry of Defense showered flowers in various
00:02:06parts of Kabul city. On the other hand, thousands of people who had gathered
00:02:10to celebrate this day at Wazir Mohammad Akbar
00:02:13Khan Hill in Kabul said that this historic and glorious
00:02:17day is an unforgettable day in the history of Afghanistan.
00:02:20Special forces of the Ministry of Defense,
00:02:24the Ministry of Interior, and the General Directorate of Intelligence said at the ceremony
00:02:28commemorating August 24
00:02:31that they will defend the Islamic system with their lives and property and will not allow anyone
00:02:35to disrupt the security of the country.
00:02:37The night of August 24 was commemorated
00:02:41in Kabul city with a large presence of people. Citizens say that now
00:02:45people live in a safe environment and under the shadow of independence and carry out
00:02:49their daily affairs. On the occasion of August 24, the fifth
00:02:52anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Emirate
00:02:56and the country's independence, a large public gathering and exhibition
00:03:00was held in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province. The Islamic Emirate
00:03:03started its trade with the world 5 years ago,
00:03:06when restrictions had
00:03:09closed its paths. But through a prudent economic policy and positive engagement,
00:03:13it was able to increase its trade volume with 10 countries around the world
00:03:17to more than 14 billion dollars,
00:03:21beyond the regional and neighboring countries, and export
00:03:24250 Afghan goods worth 2 billion dollars
00:03:27to global markets annually. The Islamic Emirate says
00:03:31that in the past five
00:03:33years, the establishment of thousands
00:03:37of factories in the industrial sector within the country, the distribution of land for
00:03:40industrialists to promote domestic products, tax exemptions in various
00:03:43sectors, and the holding of exhibitions within the country and neighboring
00:03:47countries are among the achievements that have brought Afghanistan's products
00:03:50to global markets and accelerated industrial growth.
00:03:54Thousands of people from various walks of life
00:03:57celebrated the fifth anniversary of the victory
00:04:01of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate in a large gathering in Herat.
00:04:04The fifth anniversary of the victory and independence of the country was commemorated in Bamyan province
00:04:08with the presence of local officials,
00:04:08security forces, heads of government departments,
00:04:12Mujahideen, tribal elders, scholars, and the enthusiastic participation of the people.
00:04:16The fifth anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Emirate on August 24 was celebrated in Logar Sports Stadium
00:04:20with the extensive presence of officials, esteemed scholars, Mujahideen, tribal elders,
00:04:23cultural figures, and ordinary people,
00:04:24by performing martial and military demonstrations.
00:04:28A magnificent exhibition was held in Baghlan province
00:04:32on the occasion of the commemoration of August 24, the day of victory of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
00:04:35In this ceremony, poets and cultural figures of Baghlan province
00:04:39spoke about August 24, the day of victory and heroism.
00:04:41The presence of
00:04:45US-led forces and the end of the occupation
00:04:49in Afghanistan resulted in
00:04:53lasting peace, independence, stability,
00:04:56and prosperity. The end of the 20-year
00:06:12occupation by US-led forces
00:06:16is a day that holds
00:06:20a special place in the history of Afghanistan.
00:06:23This was the result of the Islamic Emirate's victory.
00:06:27The country's
00:06:29previous situation and
00:06:33future regarding the
00:06:3620-year presence of America
00:06:39in Afghanistan was an invisible presence.
00:07:09It was a presence that they
00:09:42came to Afghanistan for a few issues that were important to them. After 2001,
00:09:46they wanted to, in their own belief,
00:09:50build Afghanistan or at least fight
00:09:53against terrorism. But when they left Afghanistan,
00:09:57you saw that in their first press conference, they explicitly
00:10:01stated that they had not come to Afghanistan for nation-building.
00:10:04We pursued the goals we had, and we
00:10:08achieved our goals. But if we take a general look at the 20-year
00:10:12presence of America in Afghanistan, America has done nothing for Afghanistan
00:10:15in 20 years. If it had done something for Afghanistan, at least there would be some
00:10:19signs or a methodology of America in Afghanistan today. Even America, after
00:10:23its demise and after its withdrawal from Afghanistan, destroyed the equipment
00:10:26it had. You saw examples of this in Bagram
00:10:30Airfield, and in some places where America resided,
00:10:33we saw this. Americans, wherever they are present
00:10:36in any country, it is for their personal interests, not for the national
00:10:40interests of countries. And they create chaos. When they fail,
00:10:44they leave that country. We can give examples of countries in the East,
00:10:47countries where America was present. But it is the people of Afghanistan who have shown
00:10:51bravery against every regime. And against every country
00:10:56that has invaded here, we have resisted. I hope that America's
00:11:0020-year presence will be a lesson for itself and that it will understand
00:11:03the failure it has had with respect to Afghanistan
00:11:07and accept it. And regarding the fact that it has not only
00:11:10not helped Afghanistan or supported the people
00:11:14of Afghanistan, it has brought proxy forces, brought groups that worked for its own
00:11:18agenda, and finally left Afghanistan. And its last soldier leaves
00:16:22brought the torch of freedom to the Afghans. From that day
00:16:25on, the Islamic Emirate began the
00:16:28reconstruction
00:16:30and education of the country.
00:16:32And until now,
00:16:35important works have been done.
00:16:50The country's widespread security was established, and the lack of security
00:16:54was eliminated after 2020.
00:16:56The lack of security
00:16:59was completely removed, and a unified
00:17:01central government came into
00:17:05control.
00:17:09The collection of government revenues, taxes, and customs revenues
00:17:13has been systemized. The World Bank says
00:17:16that in 2022, Afghanistan's domestic
00:17:20gross domestic product reached approximately
00:17:2219.88.
00:17:28Afghanistan's economy is expected
00:17:31to grow in 2024,
00:17:34and in 2020,
00:17:37from irrigated lands, economic growth is estimated at
00:17:394.3.
00:17:41Agriculture, construction, and services were among the important
00:17:45sectors of growth.
00:17:47Progress in agriculture and wheat
00:17:50production in 2025 saw a significant
00:17:54increase in wheat yields
00:17:57despite cultivation challenges. And construction projects,
00:18:00such as roads, water, electricity,
00:18:05public buildings, and other infrastructure
00:18:08construction and reconstruction projects,
00:18:11have been ongoing in various provinces.
00:18:14Efforts
00:18:37to expand Afghanistan's exports and trade
00:18:40with neighboring and regional countries have increased.
00:18:43The Afghan government has implemented programs
00:18:47to register and provide
00:18:47basic services
00:18:51to millions of Afghans in recent years.
00:18:55The World Bank estimates that from 2020,
00:18:592 million people have returned to Afghanistan.
00:19:01Today, you practically know that after the fall of the republic
00:19:05and the rise of the Islamic Emirate,
00:19:10countries had
00:19:15some concerns about Afghanistan, saying that there are
00:19:19terrorist groups or groups that endanger the interests of neighbors.
00:19:23And these negative actions that countries believe in today
00:19:26were from America, that after its withdrawal
00:19:30from Afghanistan, America created a belief among countries
00:19:34that Afghanistan is insecure or has other challenges,
00:19:38even linking the issue of ISIS's presence to Afghanistan.
00:19:41Something that is unacceptable today. We do not
00:19:45see any signs of ISIS and groups that would disrupt
00:19:49Afghanistan's security inside Afghanistan. Therefore,
00:19:53this has been one of the challenges that America injected into Afghanistan
00:19:56and made countries distrustful about Afghanistan,
00:20:00even regarding border problems, saying that Afghanistan is a threat
00:20:04to them. As the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly stated,
00:20:10Afghanistan is not a threat to other countries, and Afghanistan's
00:20:14borders are under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, and any country that claims otherwise
00:20:17should prove its claim. But I hope
00:20:21that not only America but also every country that has been in Afghanistan,
00:20:25from the time of the British to the Russians and Americans,
00:20:29they should understand that the capacities and
00:20:33potentials they had in other countries, they did not have
00:20:37with respect to Afghanistan. Because the people of Afghanistan are born
00:20:40mujahideen and have resisted every regime, even at the cost of their
00:20:44lives and property. You saw examples of this after the withdrawal of America
00:20:48and how much sacrifices the people made.
00:20:50And this country is a land that has resisted empires,
00:20:53and as the Americans themselves say, this is the land or graveyard
00:20:57of empires. The British were defeated here, as were the Russians
00:21:01and Americans who came here with NATO forces. And America should understand
00:21:05that the only way it can get closer to Afghanistan
00:21:08is through diplomacy and accepting the objective realities of Afghanistan
00:21:12and reopening its embassy. In general, diplomatic relations are in the interest
00:21:15of Afghanistan and the interest of America. If it wants to enter
00:21:19Afghanistan by force and military pressure.
00:22:53The independent decision-making of Afghanistan
00:22:56is a sign of peace, stability, and
00:23:00national unity.
00:23:03The sacrifices and future
00:23:05opportunities
00:23:08are for the country's development,
00:23:10economy, education, justice, and
00:23:14society.
