Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Emir Abdul Samad Khan, in the current Hijri year of 1288, hereby proclaim upon this new and blessed year, that several changes shall be directed and sought to be fully enacted through this blessed realm.

In regards to affairs with nations foreign and near, I am announcing that a Treaty of Friendship and Commerce shall be signed with our Qajar neighbors. For far too long our two states have needlessly fought each other only to the benefit of our enemies. As such, upon my mutual desire with Nasir al-Din Shah for peace, I am instructing my finest diplomats to correspond with their Iranian counterparts to draft a treaty that will, Inshallah, establish peace and prosperity for the future to come. Likewise, I would like to see a similar treaty be signed with the new President of Russia and the Sublime Porte. In regards to the situation in China, it is quite unfortunate that much bloodshed is being spilled, however, the continued injustice and outrage of the integral province of Kashmir being occupied by the Xing cannot and must not stand. As such, an ultimatum shall be sent to Xian to hand over the province within 3 months lest I order my Royal Guard to march into it and liberate it. Lastly is the Hindustani Question, as of right now our posture to the French in Hindustan is one of armed neutrality. We would preferably like to maintain and establish friendly relations with the French and we absolutely should, however, should our hand be forced, we are more than willing to not only defend ourselves but also liberate and free our Muslim brothers living in Hindustan. I pray that Her Majesty in Paris shall not tarnish our mutual relations.

With the blessing and permission of Allah, we have gathered here in Mashhad to cast aside our past differences and step forwards into the future not as enemies but as brothers.

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Emir Abdul Samad Khan, in the current Hijri year of 1289, have the privilege and honor of continuing to lay the foundations of a modern and strong Afghanistan that has begun in the last year. Inshallah, like a pomegranate tree, these programs shall yield their fruits given time and proper nurturing. I shall be brief in laying out my objectives for this year down below.

The Kashmir Crisis

The continued arrogance and evasion of the Xing in peacefully resolving this issue has reached its final climax. We have tried to offer the olive branch to them but if it's war they want, then it's a war they shall have! As such, I am ordering a partial mobilization of my armed forces to not only wage offensive capabilities in the liberation of Kashmir but also for defensive purposes in securing supply lines and defense of the empire should the worst come to happen. 2 divisions of the Army of Karachi and 1 Royal Guard division has been tasked with marching into Kashmir in its liberation. A fortress in Quetta shall be constructed alongside a second fortress in Peshawar. The Bala Hissar shall be strengthened as well. Additionally, 6 new divisions shall be raised with a third of them stationing in Peshawar, the second third stationing in Quetta, and the last third stationing in Kandahar. In this endeavor, I have received a request from the envoy of Her Majesty in Paris in participating in joint operations in Xing-occupied Kashmir and Tibet. In response, I hereby declare that I accept this offer and I am eagerly looking forwards to both of our nations properly punishing the Court in Xian for their insolence.

The Hindustani Question

It may not surprise anyone but the Court in Kabul has closely been watching the ongoing developments in Hindustan. To put it bluntly, we see it as yet another example of the flaws of continued foreign imperialism in the subcontinent. With that in mind, we welcome Her Majesty's Poissy Decrees in their efforts in bettering the state of conditions there and the French attempt at bringing justice to the deceased woman's family. Should the Poissy Decrees be violated, in particular the right for Muslims to openly practice their faith, we will take it upon ourselves, as the Guardian of the Hindustani Muslims, to intervene on their behalf. In addition, we fail to understand why the Poissy Decrees somehow warrants the seizure of all the Portuguese colonies. It is one thing to threaten only Goa itself, but all the rest of them? It doesn't make sense especially given the fact the French had delivered swift punishment to the murderer. As such, we passively support the efforts of Lisbon to gain control of its colonies that are currently occupied by the French. Inshallah, this will be resolved peacefully rather than a force of arms.

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Emir Samad Khan, in the current Hijri year of 1290, have the privilege and honor of continuing to serve our glorious nation and continuing the ongoing work of elevating our empire towards, Inshallah, becoming an equal on the global stage and providing our most loyal subjects with the twin fruits of prosperity and security only made possible by the mercy of Our Creator.

Our Victorious Liberation of Kashmir

Subhanallah, the injustice of the Xing occupation of Kashmir has been rectified through the valiant efforts of our ghazis! Through our joint efforts with our French allies, the Xing have been ousted from Kashmir and the province is now in the hands of its rightful and proper owners. A garrison of two divisions alongside a fortress shall be erected at the old Mughal town of Srinagar to establish effective order and control in the province alongside mopping up any remnants of the Xing still there. The Royal Guard division as well as the 2 divisions of the Army of Karachi shall be sent back home to resume normal operations though the partial state of mobilization shall remain in effect given current conditions globally. Any loot captured during the campaign shall be distributed as such: 50% shall go into the Royal Treasury, 40% shall be distributed out to the soldiers active in the campaign (including our French allies) as a token of appreciation for their service, and the remaining 10% shall be used in the reconstruction and further development of the province.

Position on the Western War

It may come as no surprise, but the Imperial Court in Kabul has been watching the ongoing developments out West quite closely. The ongoing war between Iran and Sublime Porte greatly saddens us given that we three powers are the last bulwarks of Islam left in the face of foreign imperialism and the current conflict only further emboldens them to subdue our brethren as seen with the blatantly unjustified and illegal invasion of Egypt by the Scandinavians. As such, a volunteer regiment shall be sent to Istanbul to be sent to Hejaz to bolster the defense of the Holy Cities given the unanimous conclusion in Kabul that they are under direct threat from a potential attack by foreign imperialists. We can only pray to The Almighty for peace to return between the Shah and the Sultan. The Court in Kabul officially supports efforts by the Sultan to promptly crush the traitorous rebels in His possessions in the Balkans, lest they be used as springboards by foreign entities to undo the holy work set out by ghazis over the centuries including Mehmed the Conquerer. Lastly, we have also been watching the ongoing situation in Turkestan with special attention. While we sympathize with the ongoing cries for freedom amongst their peoples, we are officially taking a position of neutrality in regards to them. However, should the situation deteriorate rapidly, we may reconsider our position of neutrality.

The Capital Crisis

Regretfully, our recent efforts at bolstering a domestic industrial base in Afghanistan have been hindered by the lack of capital available in no small part due to the recent global economic crisis. Despite that predicament, we have been approached by several powers seeking to help us alleviate this situation including the Iranians, the French, the Russians, and the Dutch in Java. In response, we would like to send our utmost messages of thanks and gratitude to them for offering us help with our situation. In addition, the loot captured from the Kashmir Campaign in our Royal Treasury shall be used to provide an injection of capital into our industries. This situation has also led us to conclude that the establishment of a unified national system to manage our supply of money and financial security is necessary. As such, we are drawing upon what the Iranians and the Neopolitians had done and will establish the Imperial Bank of Afghanistan.

The Teacher's Dilemma

With the recent establishment of the University of Kabul, a group of individuals has come to my attention with their concerns about the employment of foreigners as educators. Their concerns are reasonable, after all, what ruler would passively only their country to be corrupted from the inside out? Therefore, the policy of foreigners being allowed to teach will remain in place. However, before they're able to teach, they will have to be pre-screened on what activities they partook in before coming to Afghanistan and if they're able to successfully adapt and integrate to life here.

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Emir Samad Khan, in the current Hijri year of 1290, would like to give a few remarks in regards to the conclusion of the Great Western War.

The conclusion of the war has been felt with a wide range and mixtures of emotions here in Kabul. We are saddened by the continued weakening of the Ottoman Caliphate at the hands of the Western powers especially with the granting of the Sudan to the Scandinavians and the Crimea to the Russians but nevertheless, the feeling in Kabul is a sigh of relief and of hopefulness.

With the resumption of peace, the reconstruction of the Suez Canal shall continue unabated and as such, the global economy will make a rapid recovery and with it, the return of foreign investment into our Empire. Inshallah, this state of peace will be around for many years to come. Amen.

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Abdul Samad Khan, Emir of the Durrani Empire, would like to welcome the new Hijri year of 1291 to all of my subjects. May the blessings of Allah rain down upon us throughout this new year. With this in mind, I would like to address a few issues of major importance.

The War in Hindustan

Word of the recent collapse of the French into a bloody civil war has reached Kabul. This news comes as no surprise to us given the recent uptick in banditry and raids, especially by the Sikhs, on our border with the French. The Imperial Court has sent emissaries to the French governors of Sindh, Multan, and Lahore to act upon these criminals. However, our mere requests have either been ignored or outright refused to be heard! Of the bandits we captured, we had found out they had been receiving support from the highest echelons of the French colonial government. As such, we are taking this as not just a border conflict with some bandits; but rather as an act of war unjustly laid upon us. As the Emir of the proud and mighty Durrani Empire, I cannot and will not tolerate this act of betrayal. As such, the Durrani Empire is now in a state of war with the French colonial government in Hindustan. With this in mind, I am ordering a total mobilization of the entire country for war. More importantly, is the declaration of Jihad by the Sheikh-al-Islam. In his address to the wartime Loya Jirga, he has called upon not just Afghans to take up arms against the French. But also the Muslims and Hindus of French Hindustan and from across the world to join and support our righteous armies in expelling the foreigners from the subcontinent. Inshallah, with the blessings of Allah, our ghazis will be victorious and we will make our namesake ancestor, Ahmed Shah Durrani, proud.

Demands for Change

At the wartime Loya Jirga convened in Kandahar, calls for reform had sprung up amongst our minority groups. Their requests are reasonable and understandable. After all, am I not the Emir of all Afghans rather than one group? As such, I am announcing that after the successful conclusion of the war, a major change in governance shall occur. The Loya Jirga shall become a permanent and integral part of the Afghan government. Its members shall comprise two members representing each tribe and people across the entire empire. Through such a measure, each and everybody will be heard and seen by the government in Kabul and have their needs and wants addressed. It shall be enacted through a "Constitution" which will be based upon the Constitution of Medina created by Rasulullah (S) rather than the ones prevalent in the West.

4. Russia will have a permanent Minister to the Durrani Court, with higher diplomatic honors and privileges than all other Christian deputations

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Abdul Samad Khan, Emir of the Durrani Empire, would like to first and foremost welcome the advent of the new Hijri year of 1292. May Allah bless the entire realm with His unending mercy. With this in mind, I would like to address the issues currently facing us at this time.

The Ongoing Campaign of the Liberation of Hindustan

Alhamdulillah! Our magnificent armies have crossed the Indus and rapidly advanced across the plains of Punjab and the desert of Rajputana. After a prolonged siege, the stubbornly foolish city of Jodhpur has finally fallen into our hands with assistance from the Sublime Porte. Rest assured, the Maharaja of Bikaner who had been captured after our glorious victory at Sardarpur is in safe hands and is being treated well. While we may have gone into this fight under the Holy banner of Islam, the non-Muslims of the territories we have liberated have no reason to fear us. They shall be able to proceed with their daily lives without fear of harassment or persecution. Indeed, those who dare to do such will be properly punished with a swift beheading. While the Ottoman intervention into Gujarat was most certainly unexpected, we welcome additional help in our struggle with the French. Inshallah, our combined forces will be able to crush the French forces encamped in Delhi. Finally, I am announcing that Kabul will be recognizing the newfound independence of the Sultanate of Mysore and will be establishing diplomatic, military, and economic ties with them.

Opportunity on the High Seas

With the destruction of the Suez Canal yet again, the number of European ships in the Indian Ocean has dramatically declined as well. Seeing this vacancy, we would like to seize this opportunity to drastically expand our naval capacities. Albeit, only after the current war shall this program be undertaken but once it's completed, the Durrani Navy shall rule the waves. Inshallah, with help from our Iranian allies this effort will be completed without haste.

Other External Affairs

With the ongoing conflicts globally, we would like to address two things. Firstly is the deployment of new weapons in Andalusia and New York. The Imperial Court denounces the development and usage of such barbaric weapons and calls upon the entire international community to take immediate action to combat their spread. Secondly, is the ongoing war in Rumelia. We stand in solidarity with the Sublime Porte in their valiant efforts to defend our brothers in Bosnia, Albania, and Bulgaria from persecution from the bloodthirsty good-for-nothing so-called "princes." Indeed, the current rhetoric from Moscow regarding this deeply alarms us. But we still consider both Moscow and Istanbul to be close friends of Kabul.

A New Dawn For Hindustan

An excerpt from the speech that, Abdul Samad Khan, Badshah of the Durrani Empire, had given at the Red Fort in Delhi to an encampment of soldiers, foreign diplomats, and a massive crowd of civilians.

Quote
"...Takbir! The city of Delhi, home of the old Mughal dynasty, is now, at last, finally free after a century of foreign occupation! Alhumdulillah, we have certainly come a long way since we crossed the Indus all those years ago. And we couldn't have done it without the fearless men and women willing to lay down their lives for their Badshah in the hope that their children and descendants will be able to live in freedom and prosperity forevermore! And of course, we couldn't have accomplished this feat without the help and support of our friends around the world. From Istanbul to Nanjing, Moscow to Srirangapatna, and Tehran to Lisbon, the various freedom-loving people globally have seen the righteousness in our struggle against the French.  And for that, I would like to sincerely thank all of them from the bottom of my heart. Takbir!..."

"...With the successes of the glorious Durrani army on the battlefield as showcased to the world at Sardarpur and Bundi, I am announcing that once the next year begins, we will commence peace negotiations with Paris. However, let this be known both far and near to all of the people of Hindustan, Just because I am attempting to end this war, it doesn't mean your plight, your struggles, and your suffering has gone unheeded. For the time being, I am calling upon all the freedom-loving people of Hindustan, regardless of their race, religion, or class to take up arms and fight the French. I am not saying this because I am your Padshah, I am saying this because I dream of a future Hindustan that is freed of all foreign oppression. I dream of a new dawn for Hindustan! And, Inshallah, we'll make this happen together as one united nation of brothers and sisters marching forwards to a glorious future! Takbir!"

Padshah Khan: Elaborate further...

Saboteur 4: She believed that if we successfully provoked the revolts of the Balochi and Pashtun tribes, then your war effort would be crippled. Crippled to the point where you'd be forced to make peace with Paris. And, as she had explicitly said, "Make the Afghan King finally prostrate beneath me at last."

Padshah Khan: *Laughing*

Saboteur 5: I demand to know what's so funny abou- *Gets slapped by an Imperial Guard*

Padshah Khan: Did your Queen honestly think MY loyal subjects would be so quick to betray their sovereign with the mere promise of a few gold coins? If anything, it is a reflection of the degeneracy that has flourished in France in stark contrast to our gloriously righteous and honorable state!

Saboteur 6: You're going to pay dearly for speaking in such a manner! *Gets slapped by another Imperial Guard*

Padshah Khan: *Laughing*

Padshah Khan: Honorable gentlemen of the Court, I believe we've reached a verdict here. All of these lowlifes shall promptly meet their Creator in the city centers of Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and Peshawar for all of the public to enjoy.

OFFICIAL FIRMAN FROM THE IMPERIAL COURT IN KABUL

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


Source: From The Medium/Emil Rybitschka, Afghanistan 1915–1920 collection-Stiftung Bibliotheca Afghanica, CH-4416 Bubendorf

Blood for Bengal!

An excerpt from the speech that, Abdul Samad Khan, Padshah of the Durrani Empire, had given on the northern bank of the Yamuna River accompanied by the Durrani high command with the Taj Mahal behind him to an encampment of soldiers, foreign diplomats, and a massive crowd of civilians in the liberated city of Agra.

The excerpt of the speech is to be printed en masse in newspapers both far and near across the globe.

Quote
"...Once again, I would like to humbly congratulate and thank everyone both far and near for their assistance and help with our current war effort. From our valiant fighters on the battlefield to the humblest of peasants. Inshallah, Allah will reward you all in this world and the hereafter for your brave and righteous efforts. We are proud to proclaim that the French tyrants are still being ousted from the subcontinent under the righteous fury of the Durrani and Mysorean armies. It is only a matter of time before true liberation is at hand, but there is still much more work to be done!

But alas, many have fallen in the pursuit of freedom. And unfortunately, the brave people of Bengal had done so in fighting back against their French oppressors. Indeed, speaking in detail about what had occurred is much too painful to speak of. Crimes, horrors, and atrocities not fit for a civilized society had befallen the innocent people of Bengal under the bloodthirsty French. Babies torn from their mothers! Families forced to watch their daughters be sold off to and then violated by the French! The children, the sick, the elderly, and the crippled were savagely killed as if they were animals! People forced to resort to cannibalism because the French took satisfaction in their desperation for nourishment! Even houses of worship were not spared from the savagery! Perhaps, over a thousand masjids and temples were burnt down and destroyed even while people sought refuge inside them!

This is what will befall the fate of Hindustan should we give up and lose this war! But I say NO! We will never surrender to the degenerate tyrants of Paris nor shall we abstain from our Holy duty! Only the complete and utter expulsion of the French will be of minimum suffice! I say to all you out there, let us never forget what the French have done to us! Never forget why we're here fighting! Never forget what we're fighting for! And I say to all abled individuals across Hindustan! Take up arms and join us! And let us shed blood for Bengal!..."
