Badakhshan governor urges youth to reject opposition groups and calls for national unity
Najib concluded by describing the current system as a common home for all Afghans and called on citizens to maintain unity, preserve stability and prevent further conflict and bloodshed.
Rahmatullah Najib, the governor of Badakhshan, has urged young Afghans to reject what he described as foreign propaganda and recruitment efforts by opposition groups, calling for national unity, stability and an end to violence.
Speaking at a meeting on the implementation of Sharia and public coordination within the framework of the Islamic Emirate’s administration in Badakhshan, Najib claimed that foreign countries were attempting to influence Afghan youth and encourage them to oppose the current administration.
He stressed that human life, particularly the lives of Muslims, should be protected and not sacrificed. He also said that armed activities carried out in the name of jihad without what he considers a legitimate religious objective should not be regarded as jihad.
Najib alleged that some Afghan youths had been influenced by propaganda originating from across the Durand Line and encouraged to fight against the Islamic Emirate. He questioned the motives of those opposing the current administration and challenging its system.
The governor further accused foreign powers of supporting opposition groups in an attempt to undermine Afghanistan’s values and stability. Referring to the former presence of US and Western forces in Afghanistan, he said their efforts to establish democracy had failed despite the resources and capabilities at their disposal.
He also accused Pakistan of supporting groups opposed to the Islamic Emirate rather than addressing its own domestic challenges. Najib claimed that some young Afghans were taken to border areas and left with limited opportunities to return, exposing them to serious risks.
He maintained that the Islamic Emirate’s administration was capable of confronting its opponents and addressing threats to public security.
