UN on a smear campaign against Afghanistan: IEA
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), in response to the recent report of the UN’s Security Council, says that a regular program of accusations is being carried out by the United Nations.
The United Nations Security Council recently said in a report that there are Al-Qaeda cells in Afghanistan or that some groups are active under the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said in a statement that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly rejects these false accusations.
The announcement quoted Zabihullah Mujahid as saying: “Unfortunately, a systematic program of accusing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been started from the United Nations address, which they always propagate.”
Mujahid added that this is a misuse of the address of the United Nations, which, unfortunately, the member countries of this organization allow.
“We know that a number of member countries of the Security Council have faced defeat in Afghanistan, they naturally express their grudge and spread such rumors, but those member countries that have good relations with Afghanistan should not let the reputation of this international institution be damaged and its decisions revolve around the political goals of a few countries,” said Mujahid.
Mujahid emphasized that: “There is no one related to al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, nor does the Islamic Emirate allow anyone to use Afghan soil” against another country.
According to Mujahid, unfortunately, the reports of the Security Council originate from sources who stood by the occupation for twenty years and are sensitive to Afghanistan’s freedom, population and security.
Mujahid pointed out that it is expected that the United Nations Security Council should not allow its reports to be sacrificed for the purposes of political and economic profiteers and its dignity and credibility in Afghanistan will be questioned.
He also said that the main cause of the crisis twenty years ago was based on such baseless information.
This comes after the United Nations Security Council Sanctions Analysis and Monitoring Team said that relations between the Islamic Emirate and Al-Qaeda are still close and that this network has established eight new training camps in Afghanistan.
The United Nations Security Council Sanctions Analysis and Monitoring Team published its new report on Wednesday, and said that four al-Qaeda camps were located in Parwan, Ghazni, Laghman and Uruzgan provinces, and that this network has also created a weapons cache in Panjshir province.
A high-level government–private sector delegation from Uzbekistan, led by Shukhrat Abdullazakov, Governor of Namangan province, arrived in Kabul to enhance trade between the two countries and promote investment in Afghanistan.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Industry, the delegation, which includes deputy governors and more than 30 of Uzbekistan’s top businesspeople and investors, will meet with officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and participate in conferences and trade meetings.
The delegation will also travel to Balkh, meet with local officials, and hold business meetings with members of the private sector.
Additionally, the delegation will inaugurate an exhibition of Uzbek products and goods in Mazar-i-Sharif.
This visit follows the trip of Erkinjon Turdimov, Governor of Uzbekistan’s Syrdarya Province, and his accompanying delegation, and is based on meetings between Nuruddin Azizi, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Islamic Emirate, and senior Uzbek officials.
Other governors from Uzbekistan are also expected to visit Afghanistan to further expand bilateral trade and economic relations.
The Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment announced on Saturday that national traders, jointly through the chamber, have provided approximately 15 million AFN in aid to the people of Iran.
The chamber stated that this aid package was delivered to the Iranian Consulate in Herat. It added that the assistance was intended to express solidarity with families affected by the war.
Mohammad Younes Qazizadeh, head of the Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment, said: “Today we have presented 15 million AFN to the dear people of Iran through the Herat provincial authorities and the Iranian Consulate, and this aid will continue.”
Meanwhile, officials at the Iranian Consulate in Herat emphasized that Afghanistan and Iran always stand together and fully understand each other’s difficulties.
The Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment also highlighted that the people of Iran have consistently supported the people of Afghanistan during various crises, and their cooperation in different sectors has reached families affected in the country.
Officials of the Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment stressed that the process of private-sector humanitarian aid to the affected people of Iran will continue.
Following attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, many people in the country have been affected and harmed.
Local officials in Badghis have reported that heavy rainfall from midnight until Saturday morning claimed the lives of five people in the province.
According to officials, three people died in Qadis district, while two others, including a three-year-old child, lost their lives in Dara-e-Bum district.
The Badghis Department for Disaster Management stated that the floods not only caused fatalities but also inflicted significant financial losses on local residents and destroyed agricultural land.
However, complete information on the extent of damage and casualties is not yet available. Staff from various government departments have been dispatched to affected areas to conduct preliminary surveys.
Meanwhile, heavy rains and floods in western Afghanistan temporarily blocked the Herat–Kandahar Highway.
According to Mohammad Israil Sayar, head of the Disaster Management Department in Farah province, recent rainfall has caused the Farah River to swell significantly. He added that the situation has now returned to normal, and traffic along the highway has resumed.
