Islamic Emirate supreme leader calls for unity amid rising propaganda in Afghanistan

Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), led the Eid-al-Fitr prayer in Kandahar province, drawing a large crowd of thousands. During his address, Akhundzada underscored the importance of unity and solidarity for the survival of the political system.

In his speech, Akhundzada highlighted that the Islamic Emirate is currently facing a wave of negative propaganda aimed at destabilizing the nation. He warned that these external efforts, orchestrated by the enemies of Afghanistan, seek to incite division and reignite conflict across the country, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

"The survival of this system depends on our unity," Akhundzada stated, emphasizing that any form of disunity or division would lead to failure and the collapse of the systems they have worked so hard to establish.

He further expressed that the sacrifices made over the past 20 years during jihad were pivotal in achieving victory, and the protection of this system now demands even greater dedication and commitment.

Akhundzada also called on all members of the Islamic Emirate, including the people, security forces, and officials, to remain steadfast in following the leadership’s orders. He stressed that the absence of leadership in the past had led to civil wars, a situation which must never be repeated. His message reinforced the critical need for national cohesion and adherence to the current leadership to maintain stability and prevent further conflict.

This speech comes as the Islamic Emirate faces ongoing international scrutiny and internal challenges, with Akhundzada urging the people of Afghanistan to remain focused on the long-term goal of national unity and the preservation of peace.
