The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advised its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan.
FCDO said in a statement that travel to Afghanistan is dangerous due to security threats and the possibility of more attacks on religious sites and airports.
“Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Afghanistan. There is a heightened threat of terrorist attacks in or around religious sites and during religious events and celebrations. The security situation in Afghanistan is volatile. There is an ongoing and high threat of terrorist attacks throughout Afghanistan, including around airports,” the statement reads.
However, the Islamic Emirate rejects this claim, saying that security and peace have been ensured in Afghanistan.
“These kinds of claims are baseless and false. In Afghanistan, peace, stability and security are ensured all over the country, and all people feel calm and there are no security problems in Afghanistan at the moment,” said Bilal Karimi, Deputy spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.
Meanwhile, some military analysts have different views in this regard.
“The security situation in Afghanistan is good and not so bad that these countries should warn its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan,” said Asadullah Nadim, a military expert.
“Many nations in the region and around the world sometimes feel content with the security that exists in Afghanistan, and sometimes engage in intelligence propaganda,” said Ahmad Khan Andar, another military analyst.
Previously, the Russian Special Representative for Afghanistan, and the German Foreign Ministry urged their respective citizens to avoid traveling to Afghanistan because of the security situation.
