Afghan lawyers welcome IEA’s move to adopt former constitution
Afghan lawyers have welcomed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) willingness to govern based on a constitution.
The Ministry of Justice said in a statement this week that the IEA will implement the constitution of the era of former Afghan King Mohammad Zahir (King Zahir Shah).
According to the statement, the IEA will implement the constitution “for the interim period without any content that is in conflict with Islamic Sharia (Jurisprudence) and the principles of the Islamic Emirate.”
Acting Justice Minister Mawlawi Abdul Hakim Shari said in a meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to Kabul Wang Yu that the Islamic Emirate will respect international laws and instruments which are not in conflict with the principles of “Sharia and the Islamic Emirate.”
The constitution is based on Hanafi, which is one of the traditional major Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
Abdul Subhan, a lawyer stated: “This is good news that the Islamic Emirate is prepared to proceed with the affairs of the country according to a constitution.”
Amanullah Samangani, a member of the IEA’s Cultural Commission, said: “The constitution that is based on the principles of the (Holy) Quran and Sunnah (ways of Prophet Mohammad PBUH). The scholars and Ulema of the country will discuss its details.”
King Zahir Shah adopted the constitution in 1964, allowing Afghans, for the first time, to practice democracy for a decade.
According to the constitution, the official flag of Afghanistan is defined in black, red, and green, the king is a Hanafi and represents national sovereignty, and the Prime Minister enacts orders.
The roles of the Prime Minister, the Speakers of the Parliament (Wolesi Jirga) and the Senate (Meshrano Jirga), and the Chief of Justice (Supreme Judge) were very important in Zahir Shah’s constitution.

Pakistan is using its territory against Afghanistan: MoD
The Ministry of National Defense of Afghanistan (MoD) has strongly rejected Pakistan’s claim that the recent attack on Chinese nationals in Pakistan was planned from the territory of Afghanistan.
Late last month five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani were killed in a suicide bombing near Besham, in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Inayatullah Khwarazmi, said that Daesh came from Pakistan to the territory of Afghanistan and its goals were organized from there.
He said that Pakistan should respond to these actions.
Khwarazmi, said that in an area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is under the security of the Pakistan Army, the killing of Chinese nationals is either the weakness of the security institutions or their cooperation with the attackers.
Khwarazmi says that the Islamic Emirate has assured China that Afghans are not involved in such incidents.
The territorial tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are on the rise again. In the latest issue, Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring terrorist networks.
Pakistan’s intelligence service has claimed that the Besham attack was planned in Afghanistan.
