Mullah Baradar tells Western people that the Taliban does not hate us, it is only our governments, ‘run by Zionists and atheists’, who were their enemies. And he directs hopeful remarks to ‘especially the Palestinians’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The brief public statement <\/strong>to the world of the new leader of Afghanistan, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is being censored from search results and major media, though it has been in screenshots on Twitter and 4chan \/pol\/ for some hours.<\/p>\n

Mullah Baradar tells Western people that the Taliban does not hate us, it is only our governments, ‘run by Zionists and atheists’, who were their enemies. And he directs hopeful remarks to ‘especially the Palestinians’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mullah Baradar is the longtime partner of the legendary Mullah Omar, the 1996-2001 Taliban Emir of Afghanistan, who, with only one working eye, boldly evaded US capture for a full 12 years until his death in hiding in 2013.<\/p>\n

Mullah Baradar himself was captured, but released from prison at the request of US President Trump in 2018.<\/p>\n

Aside from \/pol\/ (whose postings evaporate after a day or two) and Twitter screenshots, the address in English is also posted here.

\nTo the people of the world:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab For the last 40 years, we have struggled to establish peace in Afghanistan. We have defeated the forces of the atheistic Communists and the Zionist West, and we have liberated our country.<\/p>\n

We invite all Afghans to participate in our Islamic Emirate and we promise we will work for the betterment of our people. Our priorities are to bring peace to all regions of Afghanistan and to ensure the fairness of law. We will punish those who have done evil, and we will pardon those who fought against us, but have now submitted themselves. Allah is the most merciful and we can only thank Allah for our victory. Islam will be upheld in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
