Colonialism represents a significant and harmful force, filled with countless grievous evils. It serves as the catalyst for sectarian discord, dividing nations into regional, ethnic, and sectarian factions, ultimately leading to the fragmentation of entire countries. This has been a reality that we have witnessed in recent decades.
In the days leading up to August 15 (24th Asad), colonial powers, particularly the Kabul administration, repeatedly asserted that multiple groups were operating in Afghanistan, and that pursuing peace negotiations solely with the Taliban would be fruitless.
In an attempt to justify this assertion, they implemented various strategies, including the relocation of Daesh from secluded mountains to urban strongholds, granting them safe havens in Nangarhar and Kabul.
Daesh, in its quest for publicity and under American influence, targeted mosques, civilians, religious centers, and scholars, sparking widespread discourse about its presence in the region and beyond. Meanwhile, officials from the Kabul administration consistently attributed these atrocious acts to the Islamic Emirate (IEA), fostering animosity against the Emirate among the population.
However, after August 15 (24th of Asad), when the Islamic Emirate (IEA) declared a general amnesty, Daesh also attempted to take advantage of this situation with covert support from regional intelligence agencies, carrying out various criminal acts in Kabul and Nangarhar.
However, through the continuous efforts of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) over the course of several months, Daesh’s roots were once again uprooted, many of their members were killed, and the remaining ones fled to neighboring countries.
Although regional intelligence entities continue to make unfounded claims regarding the presence of Daesh in Afghanistan, the reality is that they are driving the nation towards yet another conflict, thus furthering their malevolent ambitions. Nevertheless, the discourse surrounding Daesh’s presence in Afghanistan has now been thoroughly and unequivocally extinguished.
