Haqqani visits Ghazni, calls on residents to help returning refugees
Acting Minister of Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani said during a visit to Ghazni province on Sunday that Pakistan’s recent decision to expel illegal migrants has upset many people, including Afghans.
Addressing a gathering in the province, he said: “Although the people and scholars of Pakistan treated the Afghans well during the two revolutions, the government’s recent decision to forcibly expel Afghan refugees upset all parties, including the Afghans.”
According to Haqqani the unfair move by Pakistan has been harshly criticized by the IEA and foreign country’s and organizations.
Haqqani asked businessmen, wealthy people and ordinary citizens to help the returning refugees with housing and in business.
Haqqani called for the refugees to be treated kindly and patiently by Afghans and asked officials not to be influenced by power and to treat the people well.
During his visit to Ghazni, Haqqani met with local officials, scholars, tribal leaders, and many young people.
The governor of Ghazni Mohammad Amin Omari called Haqqani’s visit to this province a great honor and thanked the ministry for its efforts and cooperation on behalf of the people living in Ghazni.
He presented information about the government’s efforts to provide temporary shelter for the forcibly returned Afghan refugees from neighboring countries and asked the people living in the province to help the returning citizens.
Abdul Rahman, head of the arbitration court of Ghazni province, spoke about justice and fairness in the country: “Islamic Emirate is a system of justice, fairness and transparency and these attributes guarantee the stability of the current system”.
Tribal leader Haji Muhammad Akram mentioned the sacrifices made by the people of Ghazni for the establishment of the Islamic system and their full support for the stability of the current system and the development of the country.
“The main source of the success of the current system is the direct relationship with the people.” He also called for the creation of necessary facilities in order to solve problems.
Speaking in the gathering Haqqani said: “Thanks to the bravery of the Afghans, the holy will and courage of the youth, we have achieved the independence of Afghanistan as a nation. Every Afghan should contribute fully to the development of the country so that we can be grateful for the blessing of freedom and independence.”
According to Haqqani, reconstruction and resettlement work has been accelerated in the country. He said there is now peace in Afghanistan as well as an independent system that has been established instead of arbitrary actions and chaos.
Tajik authorities say their border guards clashed with militants who crossed into Tajikistan’s Khatlon region from Afghanistan on Tuesday night.
Tajikistan’s State Committee for National Security said in a statement that militants intended to carry out an armed attack on one of the border outposts.
Three militants were killed and two Tajik soldiers died in the clash. From the scene, three firearms—an M-16 rifle and a Kalashnikov assault rifle—three foreign-made pistols equipped with suppressors, ten hand grenades, one night-vision device, explosives, and other military equipment were seized, according to the committee.
This was the third reported attack from Afghanistan into Tajikistan in the past month, with the previous ones targeting Chinese nationals.
The Islamic Emirate previously said it assured Tajikistan it was ready to tighten border security and conduct joint investigations.

Afghanistan’s first aluminum can factory launched in Herat with $120 million investment
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, laid the foundation stone of the “Pamir” aluminum can production company at the industrial parks of Herat on Thursday.
Afghanistan’s first aluminum can manufacturing plant was officially launched on Thursday in Herat province, marking a significant step toward industrial development and economic self-reliance.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, laid the foundation stone of the “Pamir” aluminum can production company at the industrial parks of Herat on Thursday.
According to officials, the Pamir factory is the first of its kind in Afghanistan and is being established with an investment of $120 million. The project will be built on 16 jeribs of land within Herat’s industrial zones.
Once completed, the factory is expected to create employment opportunities for around 1,700 Afghan citizens. Officials say the project will play a key role in boosting domestic production, reducing reliance on imports, and strengthening the national economy.
Authorities described the launch of the project as a clear sign of growing investment in the industrial sector and ongoing efforts to promote economic self-sufficiency in the country.

Medvedev: IEA posed less threat to Russia than western-backed groups
He added that such organisations have consistently pursued one objective: “to break apart the multiethnic people of Russia.”
Russia’s Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has said that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) caused less harm to Russia than Western-backed civic organisations that, he claims, sought to undermine the country’s unity.
In an article published in the Russian journal Rodina, Medvedev wrote that while the IEA had long been designated as a terrorist organisation, its actions did not inflict the same level of damage on Russia as what he described as Western-supported institutions operating under the banner of academic or humanitarian work.
“Let us be honest: the Taliban (IEA) movement, long listed as a terrorist organisation, has caused modern Russia far less damage than all those pseudo-scientific institutions whose aim is to dismantle our country under the guise of aiding the oppressed,” Medvedev stated.
He added that such organisations have consistently pursued one objective: “to break apart the multiethnic people of Russia.”
Medvedev’s remarks come amid a shift in Russia’s official stance toward Afghanistan. In April, Russia’s Supreme Court suspended the ban on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which had previously been included on the country’s list of terrorist organisations.
