CSTO calls for inclusive government in Afghanistan
Leaders from member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) following a meeting in Astana on Thursday called for establishment of an inclusive government in Afghanistan to ensure stability and prosperity in the country.
In the Declaration of the Collective Security Council of Russia-led military alliance, they also called for increase in the level of humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.
“We stand for the establishment of Afghanistan as a peaceful, independent and united state, free from war, terrorism and drugs,” reads the declaration. “We note the importance of forming an inclusive government in Afghanistan that will represent the interests of all segments of the population and ethnic groups as one of the key factors for ensuring a stable and prosperous Afghanistan.
“We call on the international community to increase the volume of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan in order to support the population and develop this country’s infrastructure.”
The members of the Council believe that the development of economic interconnectedness and integration of Afghanistan into the regional economic systems will contribute to strengthening peace and stability. The Council also emphasized the potential of the multilateral platforms on regulation of the situation in Afghanistan including under the UN aegis.
“We reaffirm our commitment to strengthening and improving collective efforts in the fight against international terrorism, extremism, illegal trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors, illegal arms trafficking, illegal migration, as well as protecting the population from natural and man-made disasters,” the document reads.
This comes as the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly claimed that the current government in Afghanistan is inclusive and it represents all ethnic groups in the country.

WFP air services in Afghanistan may be suspended due to funding crisis
According to WFP, the organization urgently needs $10.5 million in funding to continue its relief flights in 2025.
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.
