Karimi Dismisses Concerns Voiced in Doha Meeting of Terrorist Presence

The meeting in Doha was held for two days and attended by representatives of more than 22 countries and organizations.

The Islamic Emirate deputy spokesperson said that the concerns of participants at the UN meeting in Doha regarding the presence of the terrorists in Afghanistan are baseless.

Speaking at a press conference, the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres said that the participants of the Doha meeting are worried about the stability of Afghanistan and “they have expressed those serious concerns; they relate to the persistent presence of terrorist organizations’ risk for the country, the region and further… the lack of inclusivity which importantly includes human rights, particularly those of women and girls, severely undermined by recent Taliban decision.”

The deputy spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Bilal Karimi, said that Afghan soil is secure and no one should be concerned.

“These remarks and allegations are baseless. No side should be worried about the security in Afghanistan,” Karimi said.

Political analysts gave various opinions in this regard.

“There is no hope until they accept the legitimate wishes of the world and UN,” said Torialai Zazai, a political analyst.

“The focus of the Doha meeting is more about forming a framework regarding Afghanistan but I think there were expectations from the Doha meeting to seriously solve the issues of Afghanistan, and I don’t think we will reach that result,” said Nematullah Bizhan, a political analyst.

Guterres also said that the UN will convene a similar meeting in the future.

This comes as some citizens interviewed by TOLOnews urged the international community to take practical actions regarding the issues of Afghanistan.

“The schools should be reopened, so that everyone can be educated,” said Nabi, a resident of Jawzjan.

“The representative of the Islamic Emirate should be invited so that they can form a national consensus,” said Safiullah Aziz, a resident of Uruzgan.

The meeting in Doha was held for two days and attended by representatives of more than 22 countries and organizations.
