Press Release
O Muslims in the Land of Uqbah:
This Colonialist is Extending his Ropes over your Land to Strangle Libya ... So Cut the Ropes
(Translated)

America is still continuing its hostility against the Muslim lands with all weapons at its disposal in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria amongst others. It has recruited the traitorous rulers of the Muslims to be alongside it and it is then followed by its allies at the head of which are France and Britain within a colonialist crusader murderous alliance that consists of 40 states participating with America in its hatred and spite towards Islam and the Muslims. This is whilst all those involved peddle the same nonsensical arguments that all of this mobilization is for the sake of fighting against ISIS and defeating terrorism! And here we have America now drumming the drums of war against Libya which is being followed by its allies and followers whilst the excuse is the very same excuse:

Defeating ISIS and terrorism! So who actually believes that the global colonialist war that is being undertaken by the major powers is actually for the purpose of defeating an armed organisational group which does not represent more than an armed group with limited numbers and capabilities irrespective of how much its status has been blown up out of proportion???

As for the rulers of Tunisia, they have adopted all of the dictates of the colonialist, its concepts and has joined its sinful murderous alliance. So on 04/02/2016 Beji Caid Essebsi said before the heads of the diplomatic missions: “(In respect to) the friendly states which are thinking about intervening in Libya, I say to them, do not only think about your own interests, think about the interests of the countries neighbouring Libya at the head of which is Tunisia”. And on 10/02/2016 Al-Juhainawiy the foreign minister elaborated upon Essebsi’s statement by saying: “In the case where the great powers were to consider for reasons that concern them to intervene with the aim of striking at terrorism inside Libya then let them intervene upon the condition that the Tunisian situation is accounted for within the picture, to take our reservations upon a humanitarian level...”.

Indeed, the president of Tunisia and his foreign minister do not see any harm in bombing and colonializing Libya because the colonialist states which are hostile against the Muslim lands are friendly states in the view of Essebsi and in the view of Al-Juhainawiy they represent the great states that do as they wish whist Tunisia does not interfere in its affairs (as if Libya is a part of Europe and not a natural extension to Tunisia). What makes the issue even more scandalous is that the minister of defence is bragging about the completion of a separation wall between Tunisia and Libya within record timing. This is whilst the government in Tunisia is preparing to welcome officers from Germany and America to train the Tunisian army in the manner of monitoring its borders and implementing a blockade upon Libya. Indeed, this represents such lowness and a humiliating position and it is shameful and disgraceful that a government can be overtaken by such incompetence and treachery in regards to the killing of our brothers in Libya.

O Officers, O Soldiers: The soldiers of America and its officers are not more capable than you. You have come to know their feebleness and cowardice in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria and that standing up to the crimes of ISIS does not happen by seeking help and reliance upon America and its allies. That is because they are not concerned about ISIS and its crimes (as they are even more criminal than it). Rather all that concerns them are their interests and control over the region. Standing up to the crimes of ISIS is only by your hands and you are most capable of that whilst you are in no need of the colonialist to insult you and gain control over your army and security.

We are aware that ISIS kills the sons of the Muslims and arrests them which includes the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir however we also fully comprehend that America, Britain, France and their followers are gathering their forces; not to get rid of ISIS but rather to control the region via the preparation of a colonial solution for the ruling system in Libya. It is in order to strengthen the subservience of the regime in Tunisia so that the two regimes will act as an entry point to bury the Ummah’s revolution and settle the colonisation from anew, and to prevent the return of the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the path of the Prophethood.

For that reason, we direct to the Muslims in the Land of Az-Zaytuna and call all influentials and people of power in the land to the following:

That the obligation is to cut the ropes of the colonialist that wishes to wrap itself around the Muslim lands whilst being assisted in that by the rulers who have sold their Deen and honour with the Dunya of others! And the cutting of these ropes in their beginning is easier and lighter than waiting for them to intensify and extend to the plains and the mountains... Verily, Hizb ut Tahrir seeks to awaken your concerns and spur your determination so that you take a stance that Allah and His Messenger love. So nullify these shameful stances that Beji Caid Essebsi ‘The High Commander of the Armed Forces’ and his government are still adopting before you find your land and people surrounded by the enemies at which time regret will be of no benefit. Is there not from amongst you a man of sound judgment and disposition from amongst you who will deny the rulers their treachery to Allah, His Messenger and the believers...?! Is there not a man of sound judgment and disposition from amongst you who yearns for his Deen, his honour, his Ummah and his land so that he will stand in the face of the colonialists, confront them and cut their ropes...?!

(هَذَا بَلاغٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنْذَرُوا بِهِ وَلِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ)

“This is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), so that they may be warned thereby, and so that they may know that He is the only One Ilaah (God - Allah) and so that men of understanding may take heed” [Ibrahim: 52].
