IEA leader congratulates Afghans on Eid ul-Fitr
The IEA leader also strongly condemned the Israeli military strikes against the “oppressed and defenseless” Palestinians as a “great injustice and barbarity.”
Supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, congratulated the Afghan people on the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, calling on them to be strong in their beliefs and not to follow the path of Satan.
In his Eid message, released on Thursday, Mawlawi Hibatullah stated, “Dear Muslim brothers! let us renew our commitment to Allah, the Almighty, and strengthen our resolve to avoid His disobedience and not follow the path of Satan.”
He asked Afghans to thankful to Almighty Allah for security across the country.
“There was a time when on this very day, the funerals of our Afghan brothers were carried out, bombs fell upon us, our homes were searched, and we were dragged into prisons. But now, thanks to Allah, this day has transformed into one of peace and security,” he said.
IEA’s supreme leader reiterated the Islamic Emirate’s resolve to implement Shariah law, instructing courts to ensure judicial rulings adhere strictly to Islamic laws. The message again reiterated that implementing Shariah was a fundamental objective of the Islamic Emirate’s jihad and sacrifices.
On education, Mawlawi Hibatullah said that the educational institutions are tasked with giving serious attention to the correction of beliefs and actions across all educational sectors, aligning their curricula with Sharia, and providing proper training and education to the youth.
Additionally, he cautioned against “harmful propaganda spread by hostile intelligence agencies, who seek to sow despair or create unnecessary concerns about poverty and economic challenges.”
“The Islamic Emirate, with the help of Allah Almighty, is doing all it can to improve your lives.”
Condemnation of Israeli Attacks on Palestine
The IEA leader also strongly condemned the Israeli military strikes against the “oppressed and defenseless” Palestinians as a “great injustice and barbarity.”
“We support the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people and urge the rest of the Islamic world to, as much as possible, support the Palestinians, so they can regain their usurped rights, be freed from the oppression and aggression of the Zionist regime, and put an end to the ongoing atrocities and injustice there,” he said.

Pakistan to repatriate nearly 20,000 Afghans awaiting US resettlement
Authorities will also share verified data of the affected individuals with relevant departments to support implementation.
Pakistan will repatriate nearly 20,000 Afghan nationals currently awaiting resettlement in the United States, The Nation reported, citing official sources.
The move affects 19,973 Afghans living across Pakistan.
A federal directive will instruct provincial chief secretaries and police chiefs in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Islamabad Capital Territory to begin the repatriation process immediately.
Authorities will also share verified data of the affected individuals with relevant departments to support implementation.
Following the Islamic Emirate’s return to power in 2021, more than 100,000 Afghans fled to Pakistan, many of whom had worked with the US and UK governments, international organizations, or aid agencies.
Thousands have remained stranded in Pakistan for over four years while awaiting US resettlement clearance.
Prospects for relocation have dimmed amid a suspension of case processing by the US administration, according to The Nation.
Under Pakistan’s Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP), all Afghan nationals still awaiting US relocation will now be returned to Afghanistan.
Terrorist activities continue to be observed along Afghanistan borders and along the India–Pakistan–Afghanistan corridor, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview published on Monday.
Speaking to Russia-based media outlet TV BRICS, Lavrov pointed to ongoing concerns in the Middle East, including its Asian regions.
He highlighted the importance of collaboration with India at the United Nations to advance a global counter-terrorism convention.
Lavrov stated that while the draft convention has already been prepared, consensus on its adoption has not yet been reached.
Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about militant threats from Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate, however, has dismissed the concerns saying that it will not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used against any country.
Noorullah Noori, Afghanistan’s Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, held a phone conversation with Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, to discuss bilateral border cooperation.
According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening border collaboration, with a particular focus on the ongoing renovation and updating of border markers. They also agreed to accelerate joint technical and legal meetings to enhance coordination.
As part of the agreement, the next meeting of senior border officials from Afghanistan and Iran is scheduled to take place in Iran in 1405 (2026–2027).
