Afghanistan Peace CampaignMujahid said that the geography of Afghanistan is under the complete control of the Islamic Emirate.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, has dismissed Western countries’ concerns about the activities of Daesh and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan as baseless and mere propaganda.
Mujahid said that the geography of Afghanistan is under the complete control of the Islamic Emirate, and no foreign or domestic rogue groups are allowed to operate.
Zabihullah Mujahid stated: “Afghanistan has fought seriously against the phenomenon of Daesh, and their centers in Afghanistan have been completely destroyed. The remaining two percent are under the surveillance of Afghan security forces. This phenomenon does not pose a threat to Afghanistan and cannot pose a threat to anyone.”
Earlier, Vladimir Voronkov, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism, claimed during a Security Council meeting that Daesh and several other terrorist groups are active in Afghanistan.
Voronkov said: “The activity of Da’esh and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan remains a significant concern. We must unite to prevent Afghanistan from once again becoming a hotbed of terrorism,”
Representatives of the United States and Russia also described the Khorasan branch of Daesh as a threat to Afghanistan and the region during the Security Council meeting, emphasizing the importance of the Islamic Emirate fulfilling its commitments in the fight against Daesh.
Robert Wood, the Deputy US Representative to the United Nations, said: “The Taliban have made efforts to counter ISIS-K, and it is critical they adhere to their counterterrorism commitments.”
Previously, Amir Khan Muttaqi, the acting Foreign Minister, had stated in a meeting in Kabul, without naming any specific country, that three neighboring countries are supporting the Daesh group.
