Mujahid: Islamic Emirate Attending Doha Meeting to Foster Engagement

Mujahid stated that the Islamic Emirate’s participation in this meeting does not signify hostility towards any party.

According to Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate invites the countries participating in the Doha meeting to engage with Afghanistan.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate said: “Our participation in this meeting is not enmity towards any party but engagement with all parties, which should be understood and utilized better.”

Mujahid called on the countries participating in the third Doha meeting not to leave Afghanistan alone in difficult conditions.

Zabihullah Mujahid clarified that domestic issues of Afghanistan will not be discussed in the third Doha meeting because, in his opinion, Afghanistan’s domestic issues are related to the country, not the United Nations.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate said that economic issues, restrictions, and achievements of the Islamic Emirate will be discussed in the third Doha meeting.

Mujahid said they are participating in this meeting based on conditions, but he did not provide further details on the matter.

He also commented on the Islamic Emirate’s opposition to the presence of women in the Doha meeting, stating that this opposition was to maintain Afghanistan’s unified stance in the meeting.

In part of his remarks, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate recounted the Eid message from the leader of the Islamic Emirate, which emphasized avoiding conflict, as an advisory message.

Mujahid, denying any conflicts within the Islamic Emirate’s system, said that the leader’s emphasis on avoiding conflicts does not indicate the presence of discord and conflict within their Islamic system.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate stated: “The issue of women’s participation in this meeting was that no one other than the Islamic Emirate, which is a system, should represent Afghanistan, because if Afghans appear through several channels in external meetings, it means we are still scattered and our nation is not on one path, and it paves the way for external interventions. Therefore, it is better that whatever we do inside the country is among ourselves, but outside, we should be united as a single Afghan.”

Sheikh Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Islamic Emirate, in a recording for his Eid al-Adha sermon at the Eidgah Mosque in Kandahar, asked all the people of Afghanistan to set aside their differences.

The third Doha meeting is scheduled to be held on the 30th of June in Qatar.
