Takhar security authorities say they have the border areas in the province under control and will not allow threats to be created from Afghanistan against Tajikistan.

The acting head of the Takhar Police Command Qari Zakrullah Zaker says that they have the necessary preparations in place in coordination with the National Army and the Border Police, and that there are no security concerns along the border at the moment.

“Our forces are stationed in all the districts that are bordering Tajikistan, and they are ready to provide any type of security, and we also have a coordinating office that coordinates between our army and police,” said Qari Zakrullah Zaker.

According to Zaker, the Islamic Emirate has arrested several drug smugglers in border areas and drug trafficking has been stamped out completely in the province.

“Under the previous government, drugs were exported to and from Afghanistan from Tajikistan, but now our forces are regular at the borders,” said Zaker.

Six districts of Takhar province, along the Kokcha River, share a border with Tajikistan.

The residents of Takhar say that they once witnessed artillery shelling from Tajikistan after the establishment of the Islamic Emirate but they want the government to establish good relations with neighboring countries so that they do not witness such incidents again.

“As you know the situation in the borders of Afghanistan, especially on the borders of Takhar province – not long ago, we witnessed the artillery attacks of the Tajik forces in different places, especially in the Khowaja Ghar district,” said Wasim Rasouly, a resident of Takhar province.

Early this year, several mortar rounds were launched from Khwaja Ghar district in Takhar, aimed at Tajikistan. Daesh claimed responsibility. Now Takhar security officials say that after that incident, they have taken serious security measures and have deployed more security forces along the border areas with Tajikistan.

Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi has said that the Islamic Emirate has a balanced foreign policy and it will not fight for the happiness of one country against another.

Addressing Afghan diaspora in Oman, Muttaqi emphasized that the Islamic Emirate ensures security across the country in such a way that foreign meddling will be prevented.

“We have a balanced policy. Balanced policy means that for the happiness of one country, we do not fight with another. For the happiness of one country, we do not oppose the other. We want normal relations with all,” he said.

Muttaqi also rejected division within the IEA.

“The existence of differences, chaos and insecurity is not true. No matter how much propaganda is done, in practice you can see that no incidents happen in Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar, Jalalabad and Herat,” he said.

Muttaqi said that during his visit to Oman, he has sought to expand bilateral trade.

He also emphasized that after the return of Islamic Emirate, a serious fight against drugs has taken place in Afghanistan and they have managed to treat 400,000 drug addicts.

The UN Security Council announced it is scheduled to vote on Monday 17 March on a draft resolution to extend the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, or UNAMA, for another year.

The council said in a report that if approved, the mandate would extend the UNAMA mission for another year without changing its mandate and priorities.

According to the report, the draft mandate specified for UNAMA, for another year, include human rights, especially the rights of women and girls, women, peace and security, the economic and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, terrorism, drug trafficking, small arms, internally displaced persons and refugees, and the effects of natural disasters.

The UN Security Council said that all 15 permanent and non-permanent members of the council are expected to support it.

This comes after the Islamic Emirate recently called the UNAMA mission in Afghanistan a “failure.”

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, accused UNAMA of providing “negative and inaccurate” reports on the situation in Afghanistan.

Mujahid said that UNAMA’s reports had created a “negative mindset” towards Afghanistan within the UN.
