Afghanistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Mawlavi Abdul Kabir said at a meeting with the Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan, Markus Potzel, that learning religious and modern sciences was the right of every Afghan.

Potzel in turn said: “UNAMA has the status of a bridge between the Afghan government and the international community and tries to bridge the gap between them.”

He expressed concern over the current situation regarding women’s education and their right to work, saying the recent decrees of the Islamic Emirate will have a negative impact on the work and aid delivered by the international community.

He said the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) should acknowledge the appeal by the international community to let women and girls get an education and to allow them to work.

For his part, Deputy Prime Minister, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir expressed his appreciation for the humanitarian aid provided by the United Nations and said: “The Islamic Emirate has completed all the conditions for recognition and the United Nations should hand over Afghanistan’s seat.”

He also said that the Islamic Emirate is committed to forming an inclusive government, but said the current government is representative of all ethnic groups.

In addition, Kabir stated that the Islamic Emirate believes that learning religious and modern sciences was the right of every Afghan. He said the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is working to create a suitable environment for the education and work of women, adding that they request “the impartial help of the international community on the matter”.

The deputy prime minister stated that the Islamic Emirate will not allow anyone to use Afghanistan’s soil against other countries, and that the Islamic Emirate will not interfere in the affairs of any country and will not allow anyone to interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.

Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs Abdul Salam Hanafi says if anyone attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, it is Afghanistan’s religious and international right to defend itself.

Hanafi made these remarks during the inauguration ceremony of a commercial complex in Kabul.

“If someone interferes in Afghanistan’s internal affairs, it is Afghanistan’s undeniable, religious, and international right to defend itself. If someone throws a stone at us, we will be compelled to respond, even if it means throwing a mud-brick back at them,” said Hanafi.

Hanafi also reiterated the importance of positive interaction and good relations with countries in the region and the world, emphasizing that tension among neighboring countries benefits no one.

He stated: “It is in no neighboring country’s interest to have tension among them. The better the relations, the more it benefits the people of the neighboring countries. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan always supports this peaceful policy and friendly relations.”

“The policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan towards the world is that we seek positive engagement with everyone,” he added.

IEA rejects Pakistan’s claim of Daesh recruiting in Afghanistan

(Last Updated On: )

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has rejected claims made by Pakistan’s representative to the UN Security Council, Munir Akram, that Afghanistan is an ISIS (Daesh) “recruitment center”.

According to a statement issued by the foreign ministry, the IEA said the claims were unfounded and accused Pakistan of trying to shift focus away from its own internal issues.

The ministry reiterated that since the IEA’s return to power significant strides have been made to eradicate Daesh and other extremist groups in Afghanistan.

The foreign ministry stated that Pakistan is using these allegations as a distraction from its own instability. The ministry urged the international community to recognize the progress made in Afghanistan and to refrain from placing blame on the country.

This comes after Monday’s UN Security Council meeting where the threat of Daesh was discussed. The UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism, Vladimir Voronkov, said ISIS-K in Afghanistan (Daesh) “supporters plotted attacks in Europe and were actively seeking to recruit individuals from Central Asian States”.

Voronkov provided details on the global terrorism landscape during the past six months, and said “in Afghanistan, ISIL-Khorasan (Daesh) continued to pose a significant threat”.

Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations also raised the issue of ISIS-K in Afghanistan and said the “access terrorist groups like ISIS have to leftover American weapons in Afghanistan” was concerning.

Afghanistan meanwhile does not have an Islamic Emirate representative at the UN and has repeatedly called for their seat to be handed over to them, stating any discussions on or including Afghanistan were meaningless without the IEA’s participation.

The Islamic Emirate has also repeatedly rejected claims of Daesh being active in Afghanistan and have said that the group has been eradicated in the country.

On the subject of US weapons in the country, the IEA has described such concerns as baseless and repeatedly stated that all US weapons and military equipment left behind are secured by the government, with no group or individual having access to them.
