10th death anniversary of IEA’s founder marked in Kabul

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on Thursday marked the tenth death anniversary of its founder and former leader Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid at a ceremony in Kabul, where participants spoke about his life, personality and his goals for the country.

Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers of Interior, National Defense and a large number of cabinet members and officials of the IEA were present at this ceremony.

Deputy Prime Minister Mawlavi Abdul Salam Hanafi emphasized the durability of the goals and achievements of the former leader of the Islamic Emirate and said that the current Islamic system is determined not to spare any efforts to improve the lives of the people and the development of the country.

Hanafi called on foreign countries to invest in big economic projects and in mining in Afghanistan instead of fueling a war.

“The Islamic Emirate is determined not to spare anything in its power to improve the lives and progress of the people of Afghanistan, and our policy is to have good relations and mutual interactions with all countries in the region and the world,” said Hanafi.

“We do not interfere in anyone’s internal affairs and others should do the same. Those who invested in the war in the past, should now come to invest in the economy and mining sector. We have prepared the ground.”

Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the Minister of National Defense, also said that the enemies of Afghanistan are trying to destroy the Islamic system.

He asked the people not to be fooled by the propaganda and conspiracies of Afghanistan’s enemies and to support the independent Islamic system in the country.

“The nation must be careful not to be deceived by the enemies and their propaganda, they do not want the Islamic system to survive in the country and they are plotting under different names, the people must support the current independent system,” said Mujahid.

The Minister of Interior called the establishment of an Islamic system in the country as one of the ideals of the former leader of the IEA and emphasized that the Islamic system should not be exclusive and all nations should see themselves in the system.

“We should not make the system small and exclusive, but this system belongs to all nations, we must implement all the moral behavior and goals of Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid,” said Sirajuddin Haqqani.

“Even if a thousand years pass, the memory of Mullah Mohammad Omar will remain because he has a place in our hearts, we should have compassion for the people,” said Mullah Khairullah Khairkhah, minister of Information and Culture.

Mullah Mohammad Omar died of an illness in 2013 in Suri district in Zabul province of Afghanistan.
