US congresswoman introduces bill to oppose recognition of IEA

Nancy Mace, a US Congresswoman, introduced a bill on Thursday aimed at labeling the Islamic Emirate as a terrorist organization and opposing the recognition of its government in Afghanistan.

“Congresswoman Nancy Mace stands boldly against the recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan by introducing the ‘Preventing the Recognition of Terrorist States Act of 2024,’” the statement read.

The legislation, according to Mace, aims to send a clear message that the United States will not legitimize a regime controlled by terrorists.

“Freedom and justice demand we reject tyranny and oppression in all forms. Our bill ensures America never recognizes the Taliban’s terror-driven regime,” said Representative Mace.

However, the Islamic Emirate has always stressed that there is no threat from Afghanistan to other countries and the acting government wants good relations with all the countries of the world.

“We will not allow anyone to pose a threat and danger to the countries from the soil of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is currently safe and a strong system is ruling in it. We do not allow terrorist groups to operate in Afghanistan,” said Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate.

Based on Mace’s statement, if this bill is passed, no US government agency can recognize the current government of Afghanistan or allocate funds to this issue.
