President Ashraf Ghani said during a phone conversation with Afghan soldiers on Saturday morning that Taliban will not get an interim government in Afghanistan.

Ghani said that he is ready for Taliban’s threats.

“As long as I am alive, they will not see the face of an interim government,” said Ghani.

Meanwhile Afghanistan’s national security adviser, Hamdullah Mohib, in reaction to Zamir Kabulov’s remarks said that an interim government plan is not useful for Afghanistan.

Addressing a press conference, NSA Mohib, said that such remarks should not be made.
In addition to this, the NSA said that Taliban do not want peace in Afghanistan, and that the group is not willing to lose their prosperous lives in Doha.
“Taliban leadership don’t want peace in Afghanistan, Taliban leadership have prosperous lives in Doha, they do not want to lose it,” added Mohib.

Meanwhile, officials of the Afghan Defense Ministry stated that NATO’s support toward Afghan forces also indicates the Taliban is not ready for peace.

Shah Mahmood Miakhel, deputy minister of defense, said that Afghan forces oready for war and peace in the country.
“As you saw the NATO defense ministerial meeting, the world believes that Taliban do not want peace and nor have they implemented their commitments,” said Miakhel.

On the other hand, Ahmad Zia Saraj, head of National Directorate of Security (NDS) said that 20 terrorist groups operate in Afghanistan under the umbrella of Taliban and that this has complicated the Afghan war.

This comes after Russian Special Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov said earlier that Moscow would like all parties to the conflict in Afghanistan to agree to an inclusive and transitional coalition government.

Answering a question about the Taliban’s alleged agenda to take complete control of Afghanistan, the Russian envoy told Sputnik in an interview that it would be a bad scenario if the Taliban insisted on such an approach; however, he said, Russia believes that it would be good if there was a transitional coalition government in place in which the Taliban had political status.
“In the first phase – there is a need for the establishment of a transitional coalition government which could be able to lead and control both parties – later, there is a need to form a new government to help resolve the problems,” said Kabulov.

UN Security Council to hold meeting on Afghanistan

Published

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) says the UN Security Council will hold a meeting on Monday next week to assess the situation in Afghanistan.

Roza Otunbayeva, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, is scheduled to speak at the meeting and present her report on the current situation in Afghanistan.

In a statement, UNAMA said that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will also share his latest report on Afghanistan with the participants of the meeting.

UNAMA provides quarterly reports to the UN Security Council on the situation in Afghanistan. However, there is a prevailing belief that over the past four years, UN meetings concerning Afghanistan have not had a meaningful impact on improving the situation. The topic has typically been raised as a matter of concern, without resulting in practical action.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate Zabihullah Mujahid has claimed that UNAMA consistently exaggerates minor issues in its reports and presents a distorted picture of the situation in Afghanistan.

Mujahid has called on UNAMA to consider the actual facts on the ground in its reporting and to reflect the achievements of the current government.

This comes as, despite repeated efforts over the past nearly four years, the Islamic Emirate has not succeeded in securing a seat at the United Nations. According to officials of IEA, this has resulted in the realities of Afghanistan not being represented at the UN, and issues contrary to the actual situation in the country being reflected instead.A

The Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, in his latest report on Afghanistan, stated that security and robbery incidents have increased in the country.

According to the report released today (Thursday), the UN recorded 2,299 safety and security-related incidents over a three-month period (from February 1 to April 30), marking a 3% increase compared to the same period last year.

During the same period, 175 cases of robbery were reported — a 7% increase from the same time last year.

The UN noted that the activities of armed opposition groups have not posed any significant challenge to the Islamic Emirate’s control of the national territory.

The report also referred to two attacks carried out by Daesh during this three-month period — one in Kunduz and another in Kabul.

The UN Secretary-General stated that the people of Afghanistan continue to suffer from numerous challenges, including widespread and growing poverty, persistent unemployment, limited access to basic services, and natural disasters.

According to the report, in 2025, approximately 22.9 million people in Afghanistan will need life-saving humanitarian assistance. Funding shortages have had widespread impacts on humanitarian operations: hundreds of health centers have been closed, child nutrition services have been reduced, and support programs have been suspended.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has not yet commented on this report.
