Press Release
Afghanistan-Pakistan War Secures US Regional Interests
(Translated)

The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Afghanistan condemns - in the strongest terms – the recent clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan armies on Torkham border in which both sides have sustained injuries and deaths. The main cause of such hostilities is the rotten concept of nationalism and sanctity of so called national borders that had been drawn up colonialist Britain in the 19th century in the region, which is now being exploited by USA as part of its regional agenda. By creating hostilities among its puppet governments in Afghanistan and Pakistan, USA is following a policy of creating deep divisions between the Muslims of the two countries. In this way, USA wants to prevent unity of energy and resources of the Muslim Ummah to eventually implement its own policies of colonialism, hegemony and exploitation of resources in the region.

For this purpose, lately the US has provided India more opportunities to extend its influence in Afghanistan. On one hand, this strategy is aimed at propping up India as regional competitor against China in a new regional balance of power set up, and on the other hand, make India the cause of division and hostility among Afghanistan and Pakistan. In this way, America hopes to weaken Pakistan, isolate it in the region and create distrust and animosity between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Hizb ut Tahrir calls upon the armies of Pakistan and Afghanistan that it is absolutely haram for them to sacrifice themselves to serve US regional interests, and benefit US and India with your infighting and killing of Muslim brothers. It is an absolute Fardh (wajib) upon you to stop the US initiated war against Muslim Ummah, and establish Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood. In this way you shall place your energy, power and resources at the service of Islam. Only this action will guarantee your honor and pride in this world and in the Hereafter, and will eliminate US colonialism and hypocrisy in the region.

Beware of the saying of the Prophet (saw):

«لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ»

“Do not return to Kufr after me by killing each other.” (Bukhari)
