Former Afghan ambassador to India meets with minister of refugees in Kabul
Farid Mamundzay, the last ambassador of the previous Afghan government to India, met with Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the Minister of Refugees and Repatriation, in Kabul.
According to a statement from the ministry released Sunday, during the meeting, Mamundzay expressed his appreciation for the cooperation of the Islamic Emirate and described the current positive developments—especially the improvement in security—as a hopeful sign for Afghanistan’s future. He added that he would not hesitate to assist the Afghan people in any way he can.
Mawlawi Abdul Kabir stated that Afghanistan is the shared home of all Afghans and that citizens can return with full confidence. He stressed that following the general amnesty declared by the Islamic Emirate, no one has been, nor will be, held accountable for their past duties.
The Minister reaffirmed the Islamic system’s commitment to ensuring the security of all citizens and emphasized that national unity, the reconstruction of Afghanistan, and the implementation of Islamic law are among the Emirate’s top priorities.
He further noted that hostility toward the Islamic system has ended and that Afghanistan will pose no threat to the world.
The Afghanistan Journalists Center (AFJC) has announced that Mahdi Ansary, a reporter for the Afghan News Agency (AFKA), has been released after serving one and a half years in Bagram prison.
In a statement welcoming his release, AFJC emphasized that the fundamental rights of this journalist—who had been tried and imprisoned on charges of cooperating with exiled and foreign media—were “seriously” violated.
Ansari was arrested on October 5, 2023, after returning from his workplace in Kabul.
He was sentenced on January 1, 2024 by the Kabul Primary Court to one and a half years in prison on charges of “propaganda against the Islamic Emirate.”
Farid Dehqan, spokesperson for the Khas Kunar police command, said that rocket attacks by the Pakistani military regime are still ongoing in the province.
These attacks come despite earlier announcements by the Pakistani military of a temporary ceasefire for Eid.
Afghanistan’s Chief of Armed Forces, Fasihuddin Fitrat, said in his Eid message that Pakistan’s military regime has violated the ceasefire along the Durand line.
According to the Eid message released by the Ministry of Defense, several civilians were killed in attacks carried out by Pakistani forces in border areas.
Fitrat added that the continuation of Pakistan’s attacks despite the ceasefire “demonstrates a lack of commitment and deception” on the part of the country.
He stressed that the Islamic Emirate has refrained from retaliatory action in order to prevent further deterioration of the situation and has remained committed to the ceasefire.
However, he warned that if such attacks are repeated, “the ceasefire will become meaningless,” and the Islamic Emirate will deliver a “decisive response” to Pakistan’s actions.
It is worth noting that the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan reached a temporary ceasefire on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr through mediation by Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
