Pakistani Ulema delegation shares advice with IEA’s acting PM
A delegation of Pakistan Ulema met with Afghan Acting Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund in Kabul on Wednesday and shared their advice and recommendations for strengthening relations with other countries and for resolving people’s problems.
Expressing satisfaction over the establishment of an Islamic system in Afghanistan, head of the delegation, Muhammad Taqi Usmani, said that Afghanistan and Pakistan are not only neighbors, but also Islamic countries.
Thanking the delegation for their advice, Akhund said that a lot of destruction happened in Afghanistan during the US occupation of the country and that rebuilding and addressing problems takes time.
He said that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) wants good relations with all countries including Pakistan and that it will not allow Afghan soil to be used against any country.
Akhund noted that IEA has formed political, economic and administrative commissions, and it has repeatedly invited Afghan personalities and cadres to return to the country.
He said that Afghanistan is the shared home of all Afghans, adding they will build it together.
On education, Akhund said that religious scholars are now ruling the country and they recognize the value of knowledge more than others. He said that consultations and efforts are ongoing to do more in the area of education.
At least 20 children have been killed in Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika province, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Thursday.
"UNICEF is deeply saddened by reports that at least 20 children have been killed in an attack near the border in eastern Afghanistan. Our sincere condolences to those who have lost loved ones. Children are not and must never be a target," Sanjay Wijesekera, UNICEF's regional director in South Asia, said.
Pakistan carried out airstrikes on Paktika's Barmal district on Tuesday night. The Islamic Emirate said 46 people were killed in the strikes.
Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, stated that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) will not hesitate to defend the Afghan people and will reject any party's directives.
Speaking at a program at Kabul University, Kabir emphasized that the IEA does not allow any armed groups to operate on Afghanistan's soil. He also remarked that false accusations against Afghanistan serve no constructive purpose and only worsen relations, leading to increased violence.
Kabir welcomed the reopening of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Kabul, calling it a positive step in bilateral relations.
Additionally, he highlighted the IEA's efforts to enhance the education system, ensuring that students receive both modern education and religious training.
Kabir affirmed that Afghanistan's educational system is grounded in Islamic and Afghan values, free from the influence of any political factions.
Marking the 45th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Anas Haqqani, a prominent member of the Islamic Emirate, stated that the Afghans had previously defeated "arrogant empires."
In a post on his X account on Thursday, Haqqani remarked that despite the historical defeats suffered by past invaders, none had learned from their predecessors' fate, which ultimately led to the downfall of subsequent aggressors.
He pointed out that some people still fail to grasp the clear lessons of Afghanistan's history.
Haqqani underscored that while the Afghan people celebrated the end of Soviet occupation by achieving their freedom, it came at a tremendous cost.
He concluded by honoring the sacrifices of those who paved the way for this victory, asserting that their legacy will remain etched in the collective memory of humanity for generations to come.
