A Summary of Jihadi Progress in Panjsher Province | Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan 8/3/2019 A summary of Jihadi progress in Panjsher province | Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan A summary of Jihadi progress in Panjsher province Panjsher province is situated in the north of our beloved homeland, at the distance of 120 km from capital city Kabul. This strategic province shares its boundaries with six other provinces of the country, i.e. Kapisa, Parwan, Baghlan, Takhar, Badakhshan and Nuristan provinces. ‘Shatal’ district of this province has joining boundary with Parwan province. The strategic ‘Salang’ pass and the historic and the magnificent chain of ‘Hindu Kush’ mountains traverse through these two provinces (i.e. Parwan and Panjsher) by connecting north of the country with its center and southern parts. During the Soviet invasion of eighties, these strategic places were turned into burning points and it was quite difficult for the then foreign invaders as well as for their internal communist stooges to cross the area peacefully without suffering heavy casualties and significant financial losses. The same is the case today, as the American invaders and their internal mercenaries are deeply troubled and concerned about the huge and active presence of the heroic Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate in the above-mentioned two provinces. ‘Paryan’ district of ‘Panjsher’ province is connected with ‘Kiraan & Manjan’ district of the northern most Badakhshan province. During the reign of the Islamic Emirate, this route remained opened as a main supply line from the north for the then warlords of the area. By the grace of Allah Almighty, now this strategic pass is completely controlled by the courageous Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate and all kinds of enemy’s movements are ceased in the area. It is worth mentioning that ‘Paryan’ district has a direct link with the strategic Nuristan province. ‘Doulat Shah’ district of Laghman province has a sharing boundary with the ‘Aabshar’ district of ‘Panjsher’ province. Similarly, ‘Aabshar’ and ‘Darra Abdullah’ districts are connected with Kapisa province. These connections help the heavy presence of our Mujahidin in the adjacent two provinces of ‘Baghlan’ and ‘Kapisa’ to remain in close and regular contact with Mujahidin of ‘Panjsher’ province for sharing and implementing their military strategies and extending all kinds of necessary support to one another. Currently, the geostrategic location of ‘Panjsher’ province is quite significant for Mujahidin from Jihadi and military point of view, as all main supply lines and routes which lead to this province are under their control. In other words, we can say that ‘Panjsher’ province is besieged by the heroic Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The ‘Al-Khandaq’ Jihadi progress in ‘Panjsher’ province: The ‘Al-Khandaq’ Jihadi process was planned and executed under the supervision of Jihadi in-charge, the deputy governor and the head of military commission all appointed by the Islamic Emirate for this province. The Jihadi in- charge of this province participated shoulder to shoulder with other Mujahidin in these operations. In the beginning, Mujahidin were ordered to attack the military posts of the enemy related to the center of this province. Mujahidin planned and attacked these posts via the main entrance of ‘Darra Abdullah’ district. In the result of these operations, two strategic posts were captured, in which, three mercenary forces were killed, five more injured, while two alemarahenglish.com/?p=33986 1/2 8/3/2019stooge policemen were captured alive by our Mujahidin. Similarly, five Kalashnikovs, one machine gun and various otherA summary of Jihadi progress in Panjsher province | Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ammunition were seized by Mujahidin. In the next step, Mujahidin in ‘Paryan’ district of this province prepared themselves to attack the center of this district. When Mujahidin entered ‘Paryan’ district of ‘Panjsher’ province through ‘Mandole’ district of ‘Nuristan’ province, they were warmly welcomed by the local people. Having no fear of either the wicked foreign invaders or their internal mercenaries, the local people were courageous enough to say openly that they had heard about the courage and bravery of the heroic Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate; and now they had seen with their own eyes that Mujahidin had reached and entered a point which was once considered a strong and unsurmountable place by the enemy. After the illegitimate invasion of our beloved homeland by the savage American and other foreign forces, this was the first time that our heroic Mujahidin entered ‘Paryan’ district of ‘Panjsher’ province in the process of their Jihadi operations. Though the enemy had somehow received information about the new and fresh military movements of the brave Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate, but the stooge officials and forces deployed in the area could not resist or halt their progress. As the mercenary forces of the stooge admin in Kabul had already lost their courage, therefore they took to their heels. Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate were only at the short distance of three kilometers from ‘Paryan’ district, as the enemy was reinforced by a large number of fresh mercenary forces therefore, Mujahidin had to change their strategy accordingly. They entered the nearby ‘Aabshar’ district for new and tactical Jihadi operations, and easily reached the central clinic of this district. Here also, a crucial battel took place between Mujahidin and the enemy forces, in which, five stooge soldiers were killed while six others were wounded. In these successful operations, the chief commander of the ‘Quick Reaction Forces’ (named Rajab) was killed by Mujahidin. In ‘Aabshar’ and ‘Darra Abdullah’ districts, the supply and transport system of the enemy were destroyed. By the grace of Allah Almighty, however the enemy tried their best by leaving no stone unturned, they could not succeed in halting Mujahidin’s access and entrance into the crucial and strategic parts of ‘Panjsher’ province. The heroic Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate managed to carry out well-planned and successful Jihadi operations in three districts of this province, as these operations are incessantly going on with great fervor and zeal. The enemy has definitely lost their morale by admitting that eventually the defensive lines for safeguarding ‘Panjsher’ province, a strategic stronghold of the enemy, have been shattered by our Mujahidin. It is worth-mentioning that a large number of vigilant and brave people of this area are regularly joining Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate, by realizing the prevailing ground realities and the vested malicious interests of the wicked foreign invaders and their internal mercenaries, and the number of Mujahidin is increasing day by day. In hope of fresh and significant progress in the near future in this strategic province!!

    End of year report (2018) about Mujahideen progress and territory control: The Year of Collapse of Trump’s Strategy 2018 was a year that began with intense bombardments, military operations and propaganda by the American invaders but all praise belongs to Allah, it ended with the neutralization of another enemy strategy. The Mujahideen defended valiantly, used their chests as shields against enemy onslaughts and in the end due to divine assistance, the invaders were forced to review their war strategy. This report is based on precise data collected from concerned areas and verified by primary sources, leaving no room for suspicious or inaccurate information. In the year 2018, a total of 10638 attacks were carried out by Mujahideen against invaders and their hirelings from which 31 were martyr operations which resulted in the death of 249 US and other invading troops and injuries to 153 along with death toll of 22594 inflicted on Kabul administration troops, intelligence operatives, commandos, police and Arbakis with a further 14063 sustaining injuries.
