Afghanistan Peace Campaign8 July 2024
This comes as the president of Russia, a few days ago, referred to the Islamic Emirate as an ally of his country in the fight against terrorism.
Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Doha, in an interview with a Pakistani journalist said that the Islamic Emirate operates independently in the fight against terrorism.
In this interview, Shaheen declared that the presence of ISIS in Afghanistan has ended and added that the organizers of ISIS have moved to other countries in the region.
He told the Pakistani journalist: “No! This is not true, we are independent, and ISIS, which attacks against the Islamic Emirate or when we had just arrived, attacked and martyred some of our officials, our war against them had started from the beginning, and this is independent. Just as ISIS attacks Moscow and other countries and they [officials in Moscow] conduct operations against them, that is their own matter, but Afghanistan fights in its own way. Because they are a group that does not want an Islamic system in Afghanistan.”
This comes as the president of Russia, a few days ago, referred to the Islamic Emirate as an ally of his country in the fight against terrorism.
The head of the political office of the Islamic Emirate in Qatar said about the third Doha meeting that the participants of this meeting recognized the effectiveness of the Islamic Emirate’s work in combating drugs, and they committed to cooperating with Afghan farmers in alternative crops. In his opinion, what the Islamic Emirate has done in the past three years in the fight against drugs and treating addicts has not been done in the past twenty years.
Suhail Shaheen said: “All those who attended the meeting understood that the anti-drug campaign carried out in Afghanistan has been very successful, and the success that Afghanistan has achieved in the prohibition of drug cultivation and the treatment of addicts in the past three years has not been achieved in the past twenty years.”
Meanwhile, some political analysts said that to maintain stability in the country, regional countries and the caretaker government of Afghanistan need to work jointly in the fight against terrorism and drugs.
“The Islamic Emirate fought decisively against ISIS; but it is necessary to have regional cooperation for a joint effort against any threats that endanger the borders of the countries, and to have a joint security plan,” Sayed Muqaddam Amin, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.
Shaheen, in another part of this interview with the Pakistani journalist, attributed the stability of the Afghan currency against foreign currencies to the absence of corruption and the effective actions of the Central Bank of Afghanistan in accordance with current conditions.
