Fasihuddin Fitrat, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense, stated during a ceremony in Kabul that anyone contemplating the re-occupation of Afghanistan will be confronted by the Islamic Emirate.
Speaking at an event marking the 8th of Saur (the 33rd anniversary of the Mujahideen’s victory in Afghanistan), Fitrat emphasized that others must learn from Afghanistan’s history and that no enemy should even entertain the idea of occupying the country.
He further clarified: "No matter how much force and power the enemy possesses, their strength will not endure. The people of Afghanistan are free and will continue to fight against them freely, ultimately achieving victory. Secondly, we must learn that the enemy is always seeking out our weaknesses."
Noorullah Noori, acting minister of borders, ethnicities, and tribes, also spoke at the ceremony. He stated that the Afghan people not only defeated the Soviet Union in Afghanistan but also caused its downfall in Central Asia.
According to him, Afghanistan will soon be able to compete with the world’s advanced countries in political, economic, and security sectors.
Noori said: "We bring the good news that soon there will be assurance that Afghanistan will compete with major world powers politically, economically, and in terms of security."
Khairullah Khairkhwa, acting minister of information and culture, stated: "We are observing that some individuals are attempting to corrupt the minds of young people and use them as tools. Opponents who failed during the jihad era are now trying to mislead the people."
Meanwhile, the acting head of the National Examination Authority emphasized that Afghanistan must invest more in the development of modern sciences and technologies to counter potential future threats.
Abdul Baqi Haqqani stressed that improving education and utilizing modern technologies play a fundamental role in strengthening the country's defense capacity.
Haqqani said: "In the future, we must be capable of defending both Afghan citizens and the country itself. For this, we must focus on modern sciences and provide advanced facilities. Afghans lack nothing in piety and faith."
It was also recalled during the ceremony that the Mujahideen, consisting of various political parties, after fourteen years of struggle, ultimately succeeded in overthrowing the last communist regime led by Dr. Najibullah on the 8th of Saur, 1371 (solar calendar), seizing control of the country.
