Afghanistan needs professional cadres in order to become self-reliant: Nadim
Acting Minister of Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadim has said that Afghanistan needs professional cadres as educated and talented people will save the country from dependency.
Addressing a public gathering in Uruzgan province, Nadim said that the country will become stable when people’s awareness is raised and it is the responsibility of teachers of religious and modern sciences to put the country on a path of scientific growth.
“The ministries of higher education, education, virtue and religious affairs are all academic institutions. If these institutions understand and promote education in the country, it will be more effective than anything else,” Nadim said.
He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate is serious in implementing Sharia law in the country.
Meanwhile, a number of university professors in Uruzgan province called on the Ministry of Higher Education to pay more attention to the education facilities of the province and said that the government should ensure the fundamental rights of the people and justice.
“One of the problems is the land issue of Uruzgan University, which is very important and has been around for a long time. It has been 9 years since it has not been fixed,” Raz Mohammad Storay said.
Samiullah, a resident of Uruzgan province, said: “They should encourage the youth, form literary groups, organize programs to encourage the youth to continue their education.”

Pakistan will repatriate nearly 20,000 Afghan nationals currently awaiting resettlement in the United States, The Nation reported, citing official sources.
The move affects 19,973 Afghans living across Pakistan.
A federal directive will instruct provincial chief secretaries and police chiefs in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Islamabad Capital Territory to begin the repatriation process immediately.
Authorities will also share verified data of the affected individuals with relevant departments to support implementation.
Following the Islamic Emirate’s return to power in 2021, more than 100,000 Afghans fled to Pakistan, many of whom had worked with the US and UK governments, international organizations, or aid agencies.
Thousands have remained stranded in Pakistan for over four years while awaiting US resettlement clearance.
Prospects for relocation have dimmed amid a suspension of case processing by the US administration, according to The Nation.
Under Pakistan’s Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP), all Afghan nationals still awaiting US relocation will now be returned to Afghanistan.
Terrorist activities continue to be observed along Afghanistan borders and along the India–Pakistan–Afghanistan corridor, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview published on Monday.
Speaking to Russia-based media outlet TV BRICS, Lavrov pointed to ongoing concerns in the Middle East, including its Asian regions.
He highlighted the importance of collaboration with India at the United Nations to advance a global counter-terrorism convention.
Lavrov stated that while the draft convention has already been prepared, consensus on its adoption has not yet been reached.
Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about militant threats from Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate, however, has dismissed the concerns saying that it will not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used against any country.
