Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), said at the deputy governor of Badakhshan’s funeral on Wednesday that security agencies need to track down the perpetrators who killed the official so that they can be ‘punished for their actions’.

Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, the deputy governor of Badakhshan, was killed in a car bomb explosion on Tuesday morning in the city of Faizabad, the capital of Badakhshan province.

The funeral ceremony of the deputy governor was held in Faizabad and was attended by the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, members of the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, security forces and thousands of citizens of Badakhshan province.

“People who want to martyr our elders, scholars and people in exchange for American money, with such actions, the will of the Mujahideen will not be weakened and the Khawarij (Daesh) will not achieve their sinister goals,” Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat, the chief of staff of the armed forces, said during the ceremony.

He added that history has proven that the UK, Russia and America were defeated in Afghanistan in a humiliating manner, but “Khawarij and people who are trying to assassinate our people and children on their behalf should know that we may not be alive, but foreigners will not win in Afghanistan, and Afghanistan’s sons will follow the footsteps of the martyrs on this land.”

He also asked the intelligence and security forces to ensure the security of the people and the people of Badakhshan to cooperate with their security forces and report suspicious activities to the security forces.

He says that “in a very short time, the hidden faces of the ‘Kharijites’ will be identified and eliminated.”

The Daesh group in a message on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the assassination of the deputy governor of Badakhshan province.

The Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MoRRD) announced on Thursday it had signed a 143-million AFN agreement with a private company for the gravelling of the second phase of the Wakhan road in northeastern Badakhshan province.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the occasion in Kabul, the ministry’s spokesman Mohammad Younus Akhundzada said the road holds significant economic importance for Afghanistan, stating that once it is completed, it will connect Afghanistan to China.

According to Younus Akhundzada, the contract includes the construction of 71 kilometers of road worth 143 million AFN. He stated that by the end of the next [1404] solar year, the construction will be completed.

He emphasized that the practical work on the project will begin once the weather warms up.

Meanwhile, officials from the contracting company also assured the ministry that the road construction work will be completed on time.

“We can only work for four or five months each season, not throughout the year,” said Ghausuddin, chief of the contracting company.

Wakhan Road is 121 kilometers long, with the first phase of work started last year in the Little Pamir. Now, only the construction work remains, which will be completed in the upcoming year.

(Last Updated On: )

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has rejected allegations by Pakistani army spokesman linking the attack on a passenger train in Balochistan province with militants in Afghanistan.

The IEA urged Pakistan to focus on resolving their own security issues and internal problems instead of making such “irresponsible remarks”.

“No members of Balouch opposition have a presence in Afghanistan, nor have they ever had one or have any links with the Islamic Emirate.

“We are saddened by the loss of life of innocents in the incident. Sacrificing civilians for political objectives is unjustifiable,” the IEA said.

This comes after the Pakistan Army alleged that the attack on a passenger train in Balochistan this week was orchestrated by militants based in Afghanistan.

The assault on the train, which was carrying 400 passengers, began on Tuesday afternoon and continued until Wednesday. The attack resulted in the deaths of 21 passengers, 33 assailants, and four soldiers.

The Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the incident.
