Afghanistan Peace CampaignThe spokesman of the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews that Daesh has been suppressed in Afghanistan.
Islamic Emirate in response to the remarks of UN Security Council’s members about the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan, said that “false” intelligence information causes these concerns.
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews that Daesh has been suppressed in Afghanistan.
“Daesh was already an ominous and active phenomenon in Afghanistan when Afghanistan was under occupation, this phenomenon was found and grew, but the Islamic Emirate has tried its best to defeat it,” Zabihullah Mujahid said.
Speaking at the UNSC meeting on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts, Several UNSC members including the UN counter-terrorism chief Vladimir Voronkov once again warned of the presence of Daesh and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan, and their threat to international peace and security.
The UN counter-terrorism chief Vladimir Voronkov spoke of the Islamic Emirate’s fight against Daesh.
“In Afghanistan, efforts by the de facto authorities have reportedly impacted the ability of the Daesh affiliate to conduct attacks inside the country. Nevertheless, the group maintains the intention to carry out attacks abroad. Despite this important achievement, the risk of resurgence by Daesh remains,” he added.
“The Taliban have made efforts to counter ISS-K and it is critical they adhere to the counter-terrorism commitments,” said Robert A. Wood, the alternate representative of the United States to the UN.
China’s representative also voiced concerns over the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan.
“According to the SG report, the concentration of terrorist forces in Afghanistan and the collusion between ISIL-K and other terrorist groups including the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, not only undermine Afghanistan’s own security but also our spread to regional peace and security. The international community must remain highly vigilant in this regard and work as one,” said Zhang Jun, the representative of China to the UNSC.
Previously, the United Nations Security Council also said in a report that Daesh, Al Qaeda and some other terrorist groups are active in Afghanistan, but these claims were called baseless by the Islamic Emirate.
