The new research of Afghanistan Institute of Strategic Studies indicates that the terrorist Haqqani network do not use social pates for their terrorist targets.
The research which conducted in four provinces of the country is based on religious and ethnic extremism in Afghanistan.
“Our research is about government and none-government corruption, extremism in official and unofficial religious schools and the increase of extremism in social pages,” said Reza Muhammadi, head of Afghanistan Institute of Strategic Studies.
Deputy of the institutions, Najib Sharifi says that the findings of this research show that Taliban and Daesh groups are the biggest terrorist groups that used social pages as warfare information against the government. But the Haqqani circles did not use the social pages.
Officials in Afghanistan Institute of Strategic Studies noted that the armed Taliban group has used social for messaging in Kunduz battle.
The institution calls on the international community to help Afghanistan in combat against extremism.
“The international community can help Afghanistan, how to prevent extremism and fighting against it in social pages,” said Najib Sharifi, researcher of social media.
Although conservative and radical Islam has been practiced in Afghanistan for centuries, it was never used to provoke violent extremism and therefore was not considered a major threat to Afghan society.
Over the past decades, particularly since the fall of the Taliban, Afghanistan has been experiencing a peak level of radicalism and the exploitation of radical religious views for violent purposes.
Soon after the establishment of the new Afghan government, extremists realized that they could promote their ideology freely without any restrictions.
They learned that the Afghan government has no plan for interfering in any kind of religious affairs and that the government is so involved in other immediate issues that their activities would likely go unnoticed.
Since then, extremists have been successfully engaged in radicalizing Afghan citizens and driving them to violent extremism in mosques, madrassas, universities and in their own homes via media and a variety of other tools, thanks to the unprecedented freedom and opportunities offered by the government.
Religious extremism has been growing in Afghanistan at an alarming rate, while the Afghan government and its international allies have turned a blind eye to it.
Although any kind of interference, even a lawful and moderate intervention from the government now or later could have disastrous consequences, it would be significantly easier to face this disaster sooner rather than later, as with every step taken by the government, the extremists take two.

Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid, Acting Minister of Defense, met with the Ambassador of Azerbaijan in Kabul on Wednesday and said that the reopening of the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Kabul is a positive step to strengthening relations between the two countries.
The Ministry of National Defense quoted Mujahid as saying, in a statement, that the friendship and commonality between the people of the two countries is as a Muslim friend.
Mujahid called the reopening of the Azerbaijani embassy in Kabul a positive step and said that to consolidate these long-standing relations, “we want to start economic, commercial, and [ties in] other sectors as soon as possible.”
The ambassador of Azerbaijan also said that “we are ready to expand cooperation with the Islamic Emirate and the people of this country while strengthening relations.”
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs says on the occasion of International Labor Day, the Islamic Emirate is trying to increase the number of job opportunities in the country.
The ministry said that it has distributed work permits to more than 2,000 people, including women, during the past month.
“Work permits were given to 2,115 of our compatriots over the past month, including to 205 women,” said Samiullah Ebrahimi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Public Works.
“Of course, women have been permitted to work in sectors where women are necessary and their services are for women,” he added.
Meanwhile, workers in the country complain about the lack of jobs and say that the level of unemployment has increased and workers’ wages have decreased.
Afghanistan is one of the countries that has countless child laborers, and according to reports, governments have not been able to end this practice.
“I work for 200 to 300 afghanis a day, and there are eight members in our family,” said one child laborer.
“I am 12 years old and in sixth grade. I earn 150 afghanis per day, there are seven of us and I have been working here for one and a half years,” said another child laborer.
According to UN statistics, in 2024, more than 23 million people in Afghanistan need humanitarian aid, and that most of them are unemployed.
However, the demands are that international institutions should provide work for the people of Afghanistan by implementing development projects.
The Islamic Emirate’s Miynister of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, says there is no gap between the current system and the people and that cooperation with the Islamic system is the people’s Sharia duty, the ministry said in a statement.
At a gathering in Kabul, Hanafi said: “This Islamic system is the people’s system, the people are considered part of this system, there is no gap between the system and the people. Therefore, cooperation with the Islamic system is the people’s Sharia duty.”
“It’s a very positive thing that we Afghan people do not have differences among ourselves as before, we live under the command of one leader and the flag of the Islamic system,” Hanafi stressed.
“The goal of Jihad was to end the occupation, gain independence and strengthen the Islamic system in the country,” he stated, adding that “all these goals have been achieved with the help of God and the cooperation of Afghans.”
“Now the time has come to serve and cooperate with the people to solve the problems and implement the Sharia rules of the Islamic system,” he added.
The ministry stated that in addition to providing and protecting women’s Sharia rights, thousands of complaints have been resolved so far.
