Oct 7th black day in Afghanistan’s history: Fitrat

KABUL (Pajhwok): The United States of America (USA) attacked Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, after 20 years of occupation Washington concluded their attack as a mistake, an official said on Monday.

Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), in his audio message, said: “We call this day a black day in the history of Afghanistan. It was a cruel invasion of Afghans, as a result of which thousands of innocent Afghans were martyred, injured, imprisoned and homeless. The invaders had imposed their hand on Afghanistan for 20 years, but after 20 years they came to the conclusion that they had made a big mistake in invading Afghanistan.”

He said as a result of the struggles of the people of Afghanistan the occupation ended and now an Islamic system was in placed nationwide.

Political Affairs Expert Aziz Stanikzai said: “Exactly 23 years ago, on the 7th of October, Afghanistan experienced a great tragedy; NATO and USA invaded Afghanistan, a group imposed power here, and accepted its legitimacy, and countless Afghans were martyred and injured in these years.”

He said, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan retained independence and expel the invaders from Afghanistan.

Salim Pegar, another political affairs expert, said that the Americans thought that the Afghans were tired and weak after the civil wars, so they under the pretext of the September 11 incident invaded Afghanistan.

He said that as a result of the struggle of the Afghans, the Americans left Afghanistan with a black face.
