Islamic Emirate Reacts to Putin’s Remarks on Threats from Afghanistan

He asserted that Afghanistan’s geography is fully under Islamic Emirate control and poses no danger to any country.

Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, responded to recent statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding potential threats and challenges from Afghanistan. He asserted that Afghanistan’s geography is fully under Islamic Emirate control and poses no danger to any country.

Fitrat stated: “The entire geography of Afghanistan is under the control of the Islamic Emirate, and no threat or danger originates from Afghanistan towards any country. Therefore, such concerns are unfounded.”

He stressed that the Islamic Emirate has consistently sought good relations with neighboring countries, particularly northern neighbors, and has demonstrated this commitment through actions.

However, some political analysts believe that armed groups may still be present in Afghanistan, even without collaboration with the Islamic Emirate, which has caused concern for some countries, including Russia.

“Some Russian officials and analysts believe that such groups may still exist in Afghanistan in a scattered manner, even if they are not necessarily cooperating with the Islamic Emirate. This has led to ongoing concerns,” said Tariq Farhadi, a political analyst.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a joint press conference with Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, reaffirmed Moscow’s awareness of security threats and challenges stemming from Afghanistan while emphasizing the need to secure Central Asia.
