DUBAI – Al-Qaeda’s Yemeni branch yesterday congratulated the Taliban on their takeover of Afghanistan, and vowed to continue its own military campaigns.
“This victory and empowerment reveals to us that jihad and fighting represent the (Islamic law)-based, legal, and realistic way to restore rights (and) expel the invaders and occupiers,” al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (Aqap) said in a statement.
“As for the game of democracy and working with simple pacifism, it is a deceptive mirage, a fleeting shadow, and a vicious circle that starts with a zero and ends with it,” said the statement carried by SITE Intelligence group, which monitors jihadist networks worldwide.
The Taliban had sheltered al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden during its rule from 1996 until 2001, when United States-led forces toppled it in response to the September 11 attacks, but last week Taliban fighters took control of the capital Kabul at the climax of a lightning offensive.
The US considers Aqap the most dangerous branch of al-Qaeda’s global network, and has carried out drone strikes against its fighters in Yemen since soon after the 9/11 attacks.

Thank you for sharing this news article about Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's response to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan. It's important to note that the views and actions of these extremist groups do not represent the beliefs or actions of the vast majority of Muslims around the world.
It's also worth mentioning that the Taliban has stated that they will not allow Afghanistan to be used as a base for terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda. However, the international community remains concerned about the potential for Afghanistan to become a safe haven for extremist groups once again. The situation in Afghanistan is complex and fluid, and it's important to continue monitoring developments and supporting efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.

The Taliban practice Conservative Islam. That is also a serious issue. The discrimination against female is sickening.
