IEA leader adamant all issues to be resolved within framework of Islam
In his pre-recorded speech during Eid prayers in Kandahar, the leader of the Islamic Emirate once again emphasized the implementation of Islamic rules in the country and said that the IEA is ready to resolve problems with the world within the framework of Islam.
Sheikh Hibatullah Akhundzada said those who criticize the IEA for implementing Islamic Sharia law in Afghanistan want to disrespect Islamic laws because the Islamic Emirate does not compromise on Islam and Sharia law.
He said they are ready to resolve the problems with the world but only within the circle of Islam. He said they will not compromise on Islam in any way and will not take a single step backwards.
The leader of the Islamic Emirate advised IEA officials to be aware of conspiracies by enemies of the country who are trying to defeat the Islamic Emirate through divisiveness and propaganda.
Referring to the general amnesty, Akhundzada said the West and the United States called them terrorists, but if they were terrorists, they would have killed those who had fought them during the war. He said they did not do so, and even those who had caused them physical and financial losses were also forgiven.

It was noted that personal contacts between the leaders of the two countries play a key role in intensifying the interstate dialogue, which give a strong impulse to further development and expansion of Turkmen-Chinese ties.
It was emphasized that Turkmenistan considers multilateral international platforms for maintaining stability in Afghanistan as an important factor in promoting sustainable improvement of socio-economic state of the neighboring country.

The U.S. House Of Representatives has passed a legislation on evacuation of Afghans who assisted Americans during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
“The passage of the CARE Authorization Act of 2024 further underscores the commitment made by the U.S. government to safeguard those who served shoulder-to-shoulder with our personnel during the twenty-year mission in Afghanistan,” Congresswoman Dina Titus said in a statement.
“The State Department has made it clear: There is no deadline for the crucial job of protecting Afghan allies. By authorizing the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts at the State Department, we can more effectively relocate and resettle those who have qualified to immigrate to the U.S. as a result of their service to this country.”
In 2022 the State Department established a specialized office called the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) to streamline and coordinate the ongoing relocation and resettlement process for eligible Afghans from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the United States.
The CARE Authorization Act of 2024 will formally authorize the CARE office at the State Department for three years and grant important authorities to advance its mission. These include an extension of authorities to enter into personal services contracts as well as measures to streamline the transfer of funds to and from other agencies involved in the Afghan relocation mission.
