Al-Qaeda’s central media wing, as-Sahab, has released new pamphlets featuring Sayf al-Adl, who is believed to be the current emir of al-Qaeda, urging supporters from around the world to relocate to Afghanistan.
The pamphlet, titled “This is Gaza: A War of Existence, Not a War of Borders,” makes a direct appeal for foreigners to join al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, marking the most explicit call since the Taliban assumed control of the country in 2021. In his message, Adl positions Afghanistan as a secure base for al-Qaeda’s operations and future strategies.
Adl is quoted in the pamphlet saying, “The loyal people of the Ummah [worldwide Islamic community] interested in change must go to Afghanistan, learn from its conditions, and benefit from their [the Taliban’s] experience.”
Using the conflict in Gaza as a rallying point, Adl encourages individuals to come to Afghanistan for training and experience, with the aim of launching attacks against “Zi. on .ist” and Western targets globally.
This call comes on the heels of a United Nations Security Council report revealing that al-Qaeda has established new training camps in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime.
However, Taliban officials continue to deny these claims, asserting that Afghanistan does not pose a threat to any foreign nation.
