Senior Security Officials Pledge Afghanistan ‘Not a Threat’

Haqqani added that currently no group can threaten the existing Sharia system in the country.

Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani, the acting Interior Minister, said today (Thursday, July 25) at the “Program for Praising Security Forces,” that no military or terrorist group, including ISIS, exists in Afghanistan.

Haqqani added that currently no group can threaten the existing Sharia system in the country.

In this program, the acting Interior Minister said: “No force called rebels, [armed opposition] or ISIS exists in Afghanistan that can threaten the Sharia system [Islamic Emirate], because scientifically and jurisprudentially, rebels and Khawarij are those who are established in a specific geography and oppose the regulations of the Sharia system.”

According to Haqqani, it is imperative under the Sharia system to prevent all factors that cause societal instability.

Meanwhile, Mawlawi Muhammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the acting Defense Minister, said at this program that the current Afghan government will soon take control of the country’s airspace.

The acting Defense Minister added: “Just as we have full sovereignty over the land, we will also have sovereignty over the airspace shortly.”

At the same time, the acting Director General of Intelligence, who was present at this program, said that Afghanistan is a target of destructive actions by some groups based and operating in neighboring countries and the region. Abdul Haq Wasiq emphasized that if the world ignores these centers, they will pay a heavy price.

Abdul Haq Wasiq, Director of the General Directorate of Intelligence, said: “Afghanistan is a victim of the destructive activities of some groups that have bases and operate in the neighboring countries and the region. For their destructive actions, these corrupt individuals come to Afghanistan and spread propaganda. If the world does not become aware of these centers, they may pay a heavy price in the near future due to this negligence and face dangerous consequences.”

The Director of the General Directorate of Intelligence also said that the reports of some organizations regarding the presence and activities of terrorist groups on Afghan soil are not true, and this negative propaganda is spread by regional intelligence groups to mislead public opinion.

Abdul Haq Wasiq added: “Some international organizations publish false reports about the presence and activities of some groups in Afghanistan. This information is given to them by some regional and global intelligence networks that cannot tolerate the Islamic Sharia system governing the Afghan people and the current strong security and economic opportunities.”

Senior officials of security institutions emphasized that under any circumstances, they will jointly defend against anti-security elements, and protect the territorial integrity and airspace and land of Afghanistan.
