3Former Deputy Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Afghanistan Fazel Ahmad Manawi has urged that some figures within the Presidential palace monopolized the power preventing some Ministers specially Minister of Defense to visit the President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani directly and share the concerns.

Further he has demanded the resignation of the Minister of Defense saying he is not capable and all the affairs are being controlled and processed in Presidential palace.

He said, “Minister of Defense Abdullah Habibi cannot visit the President directly, he shares all his concerns with some figures in Presidential palace not directly with the President, interfering in Defense Ministry affairs caused the control of some of the grounds fell into Taliban hands and end up to lose huge security forces.”

Sources have told to Ariana News that Chief of National Directorate of Security Masoom Stanikzai and the National Security advisor Mohammad Hanif Atmar are the most influenced faces to President, holding the authority of both Ministry of Defense and Interior Affairs and giving them advises.

Ministry of Defense Deputy Spokesman Mohammad Radmanish said, “We are operating independently based on the law and there is no limitation enforced.”

Meanwhile former military experts have insisted over significant changes within the security official’s leaderships, saying if no change is made the upcoming year will be the bloodiest year for Afghans.

Former military expert Atiqullah Amarkhail said, “War is not a joke, there is problem at war leaderships, President Ghani himself is guilty for choosing weak figures to lead the war in Afghanistan.”

NATO led forces have fought shoulder to shoulder with Afghan security forces in the past years, they also declared poor leaderships at war, and corruption are the biggest challenges of the 352 thousand Afghan security forces in Afghanistan, in some cases poor leadership at war caused the enemies to have the control of some of the areas in the country.

US urges IEA to fulfill counter-terrorism commitments

(Last Updated On: March 29, 2024)

The US State Department said on Thursday that Washington is committed to ensuring that Afghanistan can never again be a launching pad for terrorism.

“We remain committed to ensuring that Afghanistan can never again be a launching pad for terrorism, and we continue to push the Taliban (Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan) to fulfill all of their counterterrorism commitments to the international community,” the department’s spokesperson Matthew Miller said at a news briefing in Washington.

He reiterated that the United States had clearly communicated to the IEA that it’s their responsibility to ensure that “they give no safe haven to terrorists, whether it be Al Qaeda or ISIS-K or any other terrorist organization”.

Miller also reassured US allies that Washington was closely watching the developments in Afghanistan and was ready to deal with any threat emerging from the region.

“We remain vigilant against the evolving threat of these terrorist groups, and our global coalition to defeat ISIS and the C5+1 help intensify our efforts to monitor terrorist threats from the region and prevent their ability to raise funds, travel, and spread propaganda,” he said.

C5+1 refers to a diplomatic platform involving the five Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgy­zstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) and the United States. It serves as a forum for discussing and addressing regional issues such as security, economic development, and cooperation.

“The United States remains vigilant against the evolving threat posed by terrorist groups, including ISIS-K, and has maintained an unwavering focus on terrorism since President Joe Biden took office three years ago,” Miller said.

The US, he said, was “working both unilaterally and with its partners to successfully disrupt threats across the globe and degrade ISIS”.

“We will continue to work to hold ISIS accountable for its actions and to prevent terrorist attacks against the United States and other Western countries,” Miller said.

This comes as IEA has repeatedly said that it is committed to not allowing anyone to use Afghanistan soil against any other country.
