46th anniversary of Soviet invasion: IEA urges citizens to remain ready to defend freedom
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), in a statement marking the 46th anniversary of the former Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan, on Saturday called on citizens to remain vigilant in defending the country’s freedom and independence.
The statement noted that the Soviet entry into Afghanistan in December 1979 resulted in widespread destruction, significant human casualties, and the displacement of millions of Afghans.
While condemning the invasion, the Islamic Emirate highlighted the Afghan people’s resistance and struggle, urging citizens to safeguard the nation’s freedom, independence, and values. It emphasized that “no one should be allowed to carry out malicious schemes or harmful intentions against the Islamic system, national values, or the Afghan people.”
The statement also reaffirmed the Islamic Emirate’s ongoing commitment to defending the Islamic system and preserving the country’s religious and national values.
