Afghanistan Peace CampaignIn another part of his remarks, Mujahid said that the Islamic Emirate has decided to remove the term “acting” from government titles and structures.
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, stated that the matter of girls’ education is still under consideration, pending the issuance of a clear religious ruling.
In an interview with TOLOnews, in response to a question about the delay in reopening schools and universities for girls, he said: “The chastity of our sisters is important, as is their movement. From a religious standpoint, we must obtain a precise and legitimate ruling so we can convince religious scholars and move forward.”
In another part of his remarks, Mujahid said that the Islamic Emirate has decided to remove the term “acting” from government titles and structures.
He explained that this decision was made to ensure better management and improved effectiveness of the current administrative structure: “The Islamic Emirate decided that the term ‘acting’ is no longer needed in the system, and it was agreed that the government should serve the people with full responsibility.”
Mujahid also attributed the continued lack of international recognition of the Islamic Emirate to the wartime policies of foreign countries toward Afghanistan.
Regarding the formation of an inclusive government, he said that committed individuals can be included in the government structure.
“The Minister of Commerce is one of the country’s national businessmen. There are also officials at the deputy minister level who previously were not part of the Emirate. This does not mean we reject those without prior affiliation. Anyone who is committed, loyal, and experienced, and who possesses piety, religious values, and competence, will have a place,” he said.
As the Islamic Emirate enters its fifth year in power in Afghanistan, several issues including girls’ education remain unresolved, a matter that has drawn both domestic and international criticism over the past four years.
