US wants to impose their demands on Afghanistan: IEA

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) officials said on Monday that the US wants to impose its political demands on the new government of Afghanistan.

Suhail Shaheen, IEA’s designated envoy to the UN, told Ariana News that the West wants “their people” to be included in the IEA government.

“First their consideration is political and they want to impose their political system on Afghanistan. Second, they have a list in their pockets and want to include their loyal people in government,” added Shaheen.

This comes amid calls by the IEA to be recognized by the international community and for IEA leaders to be removed from UN and US blacklists.

The Doha deal, signed in 2020, has also caused some obstacles with some analysts saying the IEA and the US have different opinions on how to implement some of the articles.

Analysts have also said that some of the articles within the deal have been kept secret, adding however that since the August takeover by the IEA, the deal no longer holds any legitimacy.

“Some articles of the deal are mysterious. No one knows about them. IEA should explain it, or Americans should explain it. The Afghan nation is not aware about these and what was included in the Doha deal,” said Sayed Ishaq Gailani, leader of the National Solidarity Movement of Afghanistan

No country has yet officially recognized the IEA as the new government in Afghanistan nor have sanctions been lifted almost seven months after the former government collapsed.

“The world wants two things, first they want women’s and girls’ education… second they want an inclusive government that all tribes are included in,” said Wahidullah Sabawoon, leader of Hizb-e Mutahed Islami Afghanistan.

IEA leaders, on the other hand, said that they will accept advice from the international community but that they will not surrender to sanctions.

The UN’s World Food Program (WFP) in Afghanistan has announced the possible suspension of its air services in the country due to a severe shortage of funding.

WFP is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan and the air services have played a vital role in transporting humanitarian aid, especially to areas difficult to reach by land.

In a message posted on X, the WFP explained that in the past, when roads were blocked, air services were the only way to deliver aid to remote areas of Afghanistan. This aid included food, medicine, and other essential items that are essential for the survival of millions of people in need in Afghanistan.

According to WFP, the organization urgently needs $10.5 million in funding to continue its relief flights in 2025.

In addition, the WFP stated that humanitarian needs in Afghanistan continue to increase and  millions of people across the country are dependent on humanitarian assistance.

WFP stated that if air services are stopped, it will become very difficult, if not impossible, to deliver vital aid to areas that are not accessible by road.
