Younus Akhundzada: No Internal Divisions in the Islamic Emirate

During the ceremony, the acting minister emphasized that the current system was established through sacrifice, and both officials and citizens have specific responsibilities toward it.

According to Akhundzada, the presence of the Islamic Emirate’s leader ensures that the enemies’ dream of creating divisions among the members of the Islamic Emirate will never come true.

Mohammad Younus Akhundzada also stated, “As long as this Amir is present, the idea that divisions could arise within the Islamic Emirate to the point of fragmentation is nothing but a dream. I assure you there are no divisions—do not worry. The system is moving forward on the path paved by sacrifices. You have responsibilities toward this system, and so do we.”

During the event, the acting minister inaugurated a 30 million afghani road reconstruction project. Akhundzada highlighted that connecting rural areas and providing services to their residents are key priorities for the ministry.

The acting minister added, “There are numerous ongoing projects—hundreds, in fact—in water supply networks, canals, dams, and roads. However, after 45 years of destruction in a country, it is extremely challenging to rebuild and restore it within just two or three years.”

Meanwhile, several residents of Maiwand district in Kandahar province stated that the implementation of reconstruction projects plays a vital role in addressing the people’s challenges.

Mohammad Qasim, a resident of Maiwand, told TOLOnews, “Besides the road, we need electricity, schools, and religious institutions, which must be provided to us.”

According to the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development, most of its development programs, launched under the balanced development initiative, are nearing completion across the country.
