Afghanistan Peace CampaignIn separate statements, these representatives have said that halting this process will increase the challenges faced by Afghan migrants.
The political representatives of Afghanistan in Australia, the United Kingdom, Geneva, Tajikistan, Brazil, and some other countries have reacted to the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate to declare the consular services in these countries invalid.
In separate statements, these representatives have said that halting this process will increase the challenges faced by Afghan migrants.
The Afghan representative in Australia wrote: “This action by the Taliban creates problems for Afghan migrants and citizens residing abroad for various reasons.”
Part of the statement from the Afghan representative in the United Kingdom said: “We are committed to supporting the rights and common interests of Afghan citizens abroad and will use all our resources to provide the best possible services.”
Aziz Maarej, a former diplomat, told TOLOnews: “If Afghan embassies and representatives in some foreign countries do not comply with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate, their duty is therefore terminated and they have no legal standing. These countries should hand them over to the current government of Afghanistan.”
Meanwhile, a number of Afghan migrants in European countries have also stated that with this decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Afghan migrants in various countries will face many challenges.
Mansoor Alokozai, an Afghan migrant in Germany, told TOLOnews: “The services of Afghan embassies and representatives in countries are the right of all Afghans, and the government must pay attention to this issue to resolve the challenges faced by Afghan migrants residing in those countries.”
Khairullah Parhar, an Afghan migrant in France, said: “The decision of the current regime in Afghanistan creates many challenges for Afghan migrants in Australia, Canada, and European countries.”
Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate stated that the reason for not accepting the consular services of Afghanistan in Australia, the United Kingdom, and some other European countries is due to the non-cooperation of these consulates with the Islamic Emirate. The ministry added that documents issued by these representatives will no longer be accepted by the Islamic Emirate.
