UN claim on presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan ‘propagandistic’: Mujahid
The Islamic Emirate spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has rejected a United Nations report alleging the return of foreign terrorists to Afghanistan.
Mujahid stated that no rogue groups are present in Afghanistan and that Daesh has been suppressed in the country.
“We reject this claim. Since the Islamic Emirate came to power, no rogue or illegal group has been allowed here, nor will they be. Foreign groups are not permitted to operate in Afghanistan and are not present. Claims made by such institutions are made in a propagandistic manner — we reject them. They are untrue and far from reality.”
UN experts have submitted a new report to the United Nations Security Council, stating that Daesh in Afghanistan is recruiting a number of extremists through online platforms.
According to these experts, Daesh poses the “most serious threat” to Europe and the United States.
A portion of the UN experts’ report reads: “There were increasing concerns about foreign terrorist fighters returning to Central Asia and Afghanistan, aiming to undermine regional security.”
The UN experts also stated in the report that al-Qaeda affiliates in Africa, including Al-Shabaab have expanded their areas of operation.
According to the experts, Daesh has issued warnings about potential attacks against Americans.
In the report, the experts claim that the base of Daesh is located in Afghanistan — a claim the Islamic Emirate once again considers exaggerated and propagandistic.
Earlier, Fasihuddin Fitrat, Chief of the Army Staff of the Islamic Emirate, also described Daesh as part of a psychological war against the ruling system, emphasizing that the group does not control any territory in Afghanistan.
