Afghanistan Peace CampaignAccording to Mujahid, Afghanistan’s internal issues are solely the concern of its people.
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has emphasized the need for the United Nations to maintain neutrality toward Afghanistan, stating that assessments of the country’s situation should be fair and free from prejudice.
According to Mujahid, Afghanistan’s internal issues are solely the concern of its people, and the United Nations as an institution responsible for defending the rights of states at the global level should have a responsible and realistic understanding of Afghanistan’s conditions.
Referring to past experiences, Mujahid added that Afghanistan has gone through various political structures and witnessed the presence of different groups and segments of society; however, this diversity has failed to ensure lasting security, stability, and peace.
He said: “Our society and our people need unity and cohesion. They require real stability and peace, as well as unity. This can only be achieved when a single government, under a single leadership, governs with responsibility and strong commitment.”
Jannat Fahim Chakari, a political analyst, believes: “In Afghanistan’s constitution, any international provision that contradicts Islamic law is rejected and not accepted. Under such a framework, Afghanistan can be integrated into the international community.”
Some political analysts argue that the Islamic Emirate’s emphasis on national sovereignty and internal unity is part of an effort to consolidate its political legitimacy at the international level.
They note that while stability and security are among the fundamental needs of the Afghan people, the international community and the United Nations simultaneously expect such stability to be accompanied by respect for human rights, inclusive participation, and political accountability.
Moien Gul Samkani, another political analyst, stressed: “The United Nations can play a strategic role between the Islamic Emirate and the international community and, through dialogue, offer solutions that would allow Afghanistan to obtain an active seat at the United Nations.”
Meanwhile, Hema yatullah Ahmadi, another political analyst, said: “The three main issues emphasized by the international community are human rights, ethnic participation in governance, and political accountability. The Afghan government has largely been able to protect the lives, property, and dignity of the people, and all ethnic groups have a share in governance an important achievement in itself.”
At the same time, yesterday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the United Nations is pursuing four main objectives in Afghanistan: inclusive representation of all ethnic groups in institutions, respect for human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls preventing the activities of terrorist groups, and managing drug trafficking.
