Press Release
Do the People and the Proud Army of Tunisia Accept the Reception of the Defense Minister of Those Who Kill their Brothers in Gaza?!
(Translated)

On Wednesday, August 28, 2024, General Michael Langley, Commander of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), stated during his meeting with Tunisian Defense Minister Khaled El-Suhaili that Tunisia is at the forefront of African countries with distinguished and historical cooperation with the United States, expressing his readiness to further develop and diversify these relations. This visit comes three days after the swearing-in of the government members. We in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Tunisia remind of the following facts:

1. The United States is an enemy state to Islam and Muslims. Its brutal crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan are well-known to all, and its support for the Jewish entity with weapons that devastate our people in Gaza, Jenin, and all of Palestine is evident and undisguised. Do the people of Tunisia and its loyal officers accept the reception of these killers and war criminals in our country, Tunisia?!

2. The meeting between the American general and Defense Minister Khaled El-Suhaili came three days after President Kais Saied's attack on those he described as aligned with foreign powers. Does the reception of the AFRICOM Commander align with the President's rhetoric and his emphasis on Tunisia being an independent state in its decisions?! Does President Kais Saied not realize that AFRICOM was originally created to fight Islam under the pretext of combating terrorism and to dominate Africa?

3. The poisonous American military aid to the Tunisian army is nothing but a bribe and poison wrapped in fat to tightly bind Tunisia through security and military agreements that have turned Tunisia into an advanced base for U.S. forces in Africa.

4. The meeting of the AFRICOM Commander with Khalifa Haftar in Libya after his visit to Tunisia, and his previous meeting with Algerian President Tebboune, confirms America's interest in the entire North African region due to its strategic importance to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Thus, America's efforts to eliminate the influence of the old colonial powers will not cease until the U.S. gains control over the region, including Tunisia, aided by the cowardice and betrayal of the rulers.

O People of Tunisia, the Land of Heroic Mujahideen:

The AFRICOM Commander who was allowed into our country by the rulers of Tunisia is a criminal killer, and his country, America, is in a state of actual war against our people in Gaza, Jenin, and all of Palestine. The same applies to France, Britain, and Europe. This humiliation imposed upon us by our rulers will only end with the establishment of the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood. Be among those working for it, and you will attain the rewards of this world and the hereafter.

Allah (swt) said:

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ]

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” [Surat Al-Ma’ida:51].
