IEA responds to Trump’s statement over ‘recapturing’ Bagram
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in response to Donald Trump’s statement that the United States will regain control of Bagram Airfield, says Trump holds no political power and his words cannot be discussed.
IEA’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said they will not allow Afghanistan to once again become a field of competition between regional and world powers.
“Trump is now an ordinary person; he is not yet in any political side for us to discuss much about his speeches. But in general, we will never allow Afghanistan to be the field of competition between countries and we will not allow this to anyone,” said Mujahid.
“Second, the military presence of any country in Afghanistan is unacceptable, so we want Afghanistan’s interaction with all countries to be moderate and normal,” he stressed.
Speaking to a crowd in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Saturday, the former US president, Donald Trump, said “he’ll do trade deal with the Taliban [Islamic Emirate] if he’s re-elected in 2024 to regain control of Bagram Airfield to keep an eye on China”.
However, a number of experts believe that Trump’s words are nothing but a campaign to win the upcoming US elections.
“Trump’s statement that he wants to take Bagram airfield in Afghanistan and build a military base is just a campaign and election issue,” said a political analyst.

WFP says it can only support 1 in every 3 malnourished children across Afghanistan
The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it can only support one in every three malnourished children across Afghanistan, highlighting the shortage of funding.
WFP said on X that there are three million malnourished children in Afghanistan.
“But we can only support 1 in every 3 malnourished children across Afghanistan,” WFP said. “Children bear the brunt of the assistance cuts. Sustained funding is vital.”
The World Food Program in Afghanistan had previously warned that the number of malnourished children visiting hospitals has increased this year following the reduction of foreign aid.
More than 23 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan this year, according to the United Nations. Over half of them are children.
In February, WFP announced a dire need for $760 million in food assistance for Afghanistan over the next six months.
