Organization of Mujahideen Leaders Issues New Statement on Global and Regional Developments

Historical Statement of the Organization of Mujahideen Leaders: A New Turning Point for the Ummah

On February 28, 2026, the "Organization of Mujahideen Leaders," a body composed of high-ranking figures from various Islamic resistance movements worldwide, issued a comprehensive statement outlining its views on the current international political, military, and economic landscape. This statement carries significant weight, as it comes at a time when Western influence in the Middle East and Central Asia is perceived to be waning, and a new political awakening is taking root across the Islamic world.

In its statement, the organization emphasized that the current world order is built upon injustice and asserted that the time has come for Muslims to determine their own destiny. The declaration focused on several key issues, including the genocide in Gaza, the preservation of Afghanistan's independence, and the emerging political situation in Syria.

Gaza and Palestine: The Eternal Torch of Resistance

A central portion of the statement was dedicated to the issue of Gaza and Palestine. The leaders noted that the impact of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation, which began in October 2023, continues to resonate into 2026. They pointed out that despite a temporary ceasefire agreement in 2025, Israel has not abandoned its aggressive intentions. As a result of systematic violence, the number of martyrs in Gaza has exceeded 75,000, with over 171,000 injured [New Age Islam](https://www.newageislam.com).

The Organization of Mujahideen Leaders criticized the U.S.-mediated "Gaza Peace Plan," which stalled by February 2026 due to Zionist demands for the disarmament of Hamas [Counter Extremism Project](https://www.counterextremism.com). The statement declared: "We will not lay down our arms, for they are the sole guarantee of our freedom." Furthermore, they called for the Ummah's full support for the upcoming "Freedom and Resilience Flotilla," scheduled to set sail in April 2026 [CLD.bz](https://cld.bz).

Afghanistan: Consolidation of Islamic Governance and Regional Challenges

The organization highly praised the independence journey of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA). The statement noted that despite Western economic sanctions and political pressure, Afghanistan has chosen a path of self-reliant development. However, concerns were raised regarding border tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan in early 2026, as well as frictions arising from the TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) issue [Daily Times](https://dailytimes.com.pk).

The Organization of Mujahideen Leaders urged the Afghan leadership to remain just in resolving disputes within the Ummah and to maintain internal unity as a beacon of hope for Muslims worldwide. They warned against external forces attempting to exploit differing views within the Afghan leadership to sow division, as mentioned in a February 2026 UN report [Security Council Report](https://www.securitycouncilreport.org).

The New Face of Syria and the Future of Islamic Resistance

The statement also analyzed the situation in Syria following the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime. The organization stressed that the new Syrian government (under the leadership of Ahmed al-Sharaa) must remain free from the influence of external powers, particularly Israel and the United States. Recent ISIS attacks and prison breaks in northern Syria in February 2026 highlight the ongoing security vacuum in the region [Counter Extremism Project](https://www.counterextremism.com).

The leaders called upon all Islamic groups in Syria to unite in rebuilding the nation and to resist Zionist ambitions regarding Syrian territory. The statement asserted: "The liberation of Syria marks the beginning of the liberation for the entire region."

International Situation: Western Decline and the Ummah's Independence

Assessing the global landscape, the Organization of Mujahideen Leaders suggested that the era of a U.S.-led unipolar world is coming to an end. They cited the Trump administration's Middle East policies and the failure of nuclear talks with Iran (Geneva, February 2026) as evidence of Western diplomatic setbacks [ISW](https://www.understandingwar.org).

The organization called on Muslim nations to cease their reliance on Western economic systems and instead strengthen intra-Islamic trade and financial institutions. The statement also reminded the Ummah that remaining silent in the face of the oppression of Muslims in East Turkestan, Kashmir, and Sudan is a grave sin, urging the Ummah to act as a single body.

Conclusion and Call to Action

In its concluding remarks, the Organization of Mujahideen Leaders addressed Muslim youth worldwide, urging them to arm themselves with knowledge, piety, and courage. "Our victory will come not only through arms but through our faith and unity," the statement concluded, sparking significant discussion across the Islamic world.

This historical declaration serves as a roadmap for Muslims seeking to navigate the complex international landscape of 2026.
