Uzbekistan continues to export electricity to Afghanistan

Uzbekistan has continued supplying electricity to Afghanistan without disruptions, the Uzbek Energy Ministry’s press service said Tuesday.
This comes after reports emerged that Afghanistan could face winter outages due to unpaid debt to electricity exporting countries, including Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Iran.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (officials) asked power-exporting countries not to cut electricity and pledged to pay debts.
One official told Ariana News on Tuesday that Afghanistan owes its neighbors $62 million. However the country’s power supply company Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) is owed over $500 million dollars by Afghan consumers.
On Wednesday, Uzbekistan said it was fulfilling all its obligations to export electricity to Afghanistan and did not mention the issue of debt.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said last month that his country was ready for a dialogue with the IEA in Afghanistan and would participate in projects that would strengthen peace in the country.
In September, Uzbekistan also handed 1,300 tons of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, including food, medicine and clothing.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan condemns Israeli strikes on Iran

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) on Friday strongly condemned the recent Israeli attacks on the territory of Iran, that killed senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.
In an official statement, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, described the actions as a blatant violation of fundamental principles of international law, particularly the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations.
“These attacks come at a time when the oppressed people of Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip, continue to suffer under relentless and catastrophic assaults,” the statement said. “The occupying regime continues its aggression with complete disregard for humanitarian and international norms.”
The Islamic Emirate expressed deep concern over the escalating regional tensions, warning that continued provocative actions by Israel could further destabilize the already fragile situation in the Middle East.
The statement urged all relevant international actors to act responsibly and, in line with their mandates to maintain regional peace and security, to address the situation urgently and prevent the spread of further instability.

Many of the world’s most successful nations are democracies: Khalilzad

Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation, in response to the Islamic Emirate Supreme Leader’s Eid remarks, emphasized the global success of democratic systems and urged reflection on their relevance.
Khalilzad said on X on Friday that during the recent Eid sermon, IEA’s Supreme Leader was very critical of democracy.
“I do not want to defend the lawlessness, corruption, and many other failures of the previous Afghan government. And, of course, the Afghan people have the right to have their own form of government,” Khalilzad wrote. “However, it is important to observe that many of the most successful, richest, and most powerful countries in the world are democracies.”
