00:00:00The withdrawal of foreign forces became an evacuation. The evacuation operation was
00:00:03carried out with the participation and supervision of various countries and in a short period of time
00:00:07thousands of people left Afghanistan. On August 3rd,
00:00:112021, the last US military personnel left Afghanistan,
00:00:15thus ending nearly 20 years of US military presence and occupation
00:00:19in this country. This day was recorded as one of
00:00:22the most important turning points in the contemporary history of Afghanistan and its relations
00:00:26with the international community.
00:01:30The hopes and difficulties of the people of this land are hidden.
00:01:33Understanding these events can provide a basis for a better understanding of the past
00:01:37and benefiting from historical experiences for the future. It is hoped that the future
00:01:41of Afghanistan will be characterized by stability, progress, and improved collective
00:01:44life for the people of this country.
00:04:00This kind of history of the country prepares
00:04:04for a future interaction and thought.
00:06:42entered Afghanistan after 2001, they wanted
00:06:45to believe that they would build Afghanistan,
00:06:48or at least fight against terrorism,
00:06:52but when they left Afghanistan, you saw that in their first
00:06:55press conference, they explicitly stated that they did not come to Afghanistan
00:06:59for nation-building, they pursued their goals,
00:07:03and they achieved their goals. But if we take a general look at America's 20-year
00:07:07presence in Afghanistan, America did nothing in Afghanistan in 20 years.
00:07:10If it had done something in Afghanistan, at least there would have been some
00:07:14signs or a method of America in Afghanistan today. Even after America's
00:07:17death and withdrawal from Afghanistan, they destroyed the equipment
00:07:21they had. You saw examples of this in the Bagram
00:07:24field, in some places where America had a presence.
00:07:27We saw this. Americans, wherever they are present
00:07:31in any country, it is for their personal interests,
00:07:35not for the national interests of countries, and they create war from nothing,
00:07:38and when they fail, they leave that country. We can cite examples of Middle Eastern countries,
00:07:43countries where America was present, but it is the Afghan nation that has shown
00:07:46courage against every regime, and we have resisted against
00:07:50any country that has invaded here. I hope
00:07:53that America's 20-year presence will be a lesson for itself and that it
00:07:57will understand and accept the failure it had in Afghanistan,
00:08:01and that it not only did not help Afghanistan
00:08:05or the people of Afghanistan, but brought proxy forces
00:08:08and groups that worked against it. The
00:08:20mirror of life for the nations is
00:08:24that every historical event has different
00:08:27interpretations and perspectives. Therefore,
00:08:30this day also provides an opportunity for the future
00:08:34of the country to be recorded
00:08:37and advanced.
00:10:12that the war
00:10:16in
00:10:17Afghanistan
00:12:38began construction and development,
00:12:41and so far its important works and
00:12:45achievements are briefly
00:12:47presented to you.
00:12:58In the country, nationwide security was established and insecurity was eliminated: After 2007,
00:13:01nationwide security was
00:13:04established
00:13:04in the country.
00:13:11The country came under a single central government,
00:13:13which
00:13:17collects government revenues and
00:13:19taxes.
00:13:24The World Bank says that in 2025,
00:13:36the economic situation according to the World Bank officials states that Afghanistan's
00:13:39economy grew in 2024 and
00:13:43in 2025, economic growth is estimated
00:13:47at 4.3%.
00:13:50Legal construction activities and services were among the
00:13:53important areas of growth.
00:13:58Progress in the agricultural sector in 2025
00:14:01saw a significant increase in wheat yields from irrigated lands, despite
00:14:05cultivation challenges.
00:14:20projects were maintained in various provinces.
00:14:23شوې۔
00:14:27Administrative centralization and governance: In many parts of the country,
00:14:31a central administrative unit
00:14:34operates for government administration, and tax and public administration
00:14:38activities have been organized.
00:14:40Trade
00:14:44and exports: For the expansion of Afghanistan's export
00:14:48growth, trade relations with neighboring and regional countries
00:14:52were expanded.
00:14:59The management of Afghan returnees in recent years
00:15:03has involved governmental and international agencies in registering, transporting,
00:15:06and providing initial services for millions of Afghan returnees.
00:15:10The World Bank estimates that from
00:15:132020 to 2008,
00:15:17میلادی کال پورې
00:15:18maybe
00:15:24You actually know that countries after the fall of the republic, with the arrival of the Islamic Emirate,
00:15:28had a series of concerns about Afghanistan, that there are terrorist groups
00:15:31here or groups that jeopardize the interests of neighbors.
00:15:35And
00:15:38these actions that countries believe in today
00:15:42were from America, that America after its withdrawal from
00:15:45Afghanistan, created a belief among countries that Afghanistan is insecure
00:15:49or some other challenges, even linking the issue of ISIS's presence
00:15:53to Afghanistan, something that is unacceptable today.
00:15:56We do not see any signs of ISIS or groups that
00:16:00would threaten the security of Afghanistan inside Afghanistan. Therefore,
00:16:04this was one of the challenges that America created inside Afghanistan
00:16:08and made countries disbelieve in Afghanistan.
00:16:11They even brought up border problems
00:16:15and the problem that the forces, that Afghanistan
00:16:19is a threat to them. As the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly stated,
00:16:23Afghanistan is not a threat to countries, and the borders of Afghanistan are under the leadership
00:16:26of the Islamic Emirate, and any country that has a claim, let it come
00:16:29and prove its claim. But I hope that not
00:16:33only America, but any country that was in Afghanistan, meaning in the past,
00:16:37from the time of the British, the Russians, and America, they should understand
00:16:40that the capacities and potentials they had in other countries,
00:16:44they did not have those potentials in Afghanistan, because the people of Afghanistan
00:16:47are born mujahideen and have resisted every regime,
00:16:51even at the cost of their lives and property. You saw examples of this after
00:16:55America's withdrawal, how much the people have sacrificed, and this country
00:16:58is a land that has resisted empires, and in the words of the Americans themselves,
00:17:01this is the land or graveyard of empires, and the British
00:17:05were defeated, as were the Russians and Americans. A place where NATO forces
00:17:08came and America should understand that the only way America can
00:17:12get closer to Afghanistan is diplomacy
00:17:16and accepting the objective realities of Afghanistan, and it should reopen its embassy.
00:17:19Overall, diplomatic relations are beneficial for Afghanistan, for the region,
00:17:23and for America. If it wants to enter Afghanistan by force
00:17:27and military pressure, I think it is impossible, just as it spent trillions
00:17:30of dollars in its 20-year presence, but the result
00:17:34was zero. Again, it will face such a problem.
00:18:08By ensuring security throughout the country, people
00:18:12were encouraged, especially small and medium-sized businesses were formed
00:18:16throughout Afghanistan, and these small economic shocks
00:18:20were able to create a certain level of employment.
00:18:23It was not enough, but considering the
00:18:26available facilities and current conditions
00:18:29in Afghanistan,
00:18:31they had their activities. In general, we cannot
00:18:34judge that in this field,
00:18:37activities have reached zero. This was not the case.
00:18:41Activities exist, but because Afghanistan has suffered
00:18:44from wars for many years,
00:18:47demand is high and supply is limited,
00:18:50but the balance between supply and demand needs time
00:18:54to pass until this balance
00:18:57is achieved. The message of independence and national sovereignty
00:19:00is a sign of Afghanistan's independent decision-making,
00:19:04in place of long wars, security and stability.
00:22:25May they have a life of honor, prosperity,
00:22:28and security in their country. May
00:22:30Allah Almighty protect our country
00:22:49from all evil and keep it exalted. Amen.
00:22:53Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace
00:22:56be upon you and the mercy of Allah
00:22:59and His blessings.
00:23:08Happy Independence!

00:23:47Jan Baba, you
00:26:00must fulfill your responsibility.
00:26:45In short, until the word of Allah is raised on
00:26:49the earth, until then we should not expect
00:26:52any
00:26:53branch
00:26:57to succeed.
00:26:58The current
00:27:02success.
00:27:56So this is a test of empowerment, it is a good opportunity,
00:27:59if we waste time and youth. If the enemy takes
00:28:03the initiative, then we will not be able to account
00:28:06for our negligence to the nation, nor to ourselves.
00:28:09And from the Glorious,
00:28:28piety, firm determination, commitment, strong will,
00:28:32professional capabilities, and
00:28:34operations.
00:28:44Preserve and protect
00:28:47your borders.
00:28:51Protect
00:28:52the borders.
00:28:56The homeland, the homeland in the field
00:28:59of sea and land, in the mountains.
00:29:48I know that you, the freedom-loving and Mujahid-nurturing nation, are tired,
00:29:51I know that you have suffered. God willing, the dark nights
00:29:55of oppression have come to an end, and the buds of
00:29:59fresh hope have blossomed. The guardians of security and
