IEA says that they will not give in to any pressure from the international community
The Islamic Emirate says that they will not give in to any pressure from the international community and it is better for the world to engage with Afghanistan instead of applying pressure and sanctions.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, emphasized that just as the pressures and sanctions did not bring positive results in Afghanistan in the past, repeating the bitter experiences cannot help to solve the problems in Afghanistan.
After nearly three years of the Islamic Emirate's rule in Afghanistan, the international community still has not lifted sanctions against the Islamic Emirate for what it considers as the failure to form a comprehensive government, the violation of human rights laws and strict policies against women.
"The people of Afghanistan are not and will not submit to any kind of pressure, but it is better to interact with the Afghans and what we hear called pressure or applying pressure will not reach the goal, it has not reached the goal so far and it will not from now on. even when the whole world came to Afghanistan and tested their power, but they didn't get that results,” said Mujahid.
He added that a large number of countries have established good relations and interactions with the Islamic Emirate in the two and a half years; but according to him, some western countries still have a hostile policy towards the Islamic Emirate due to past wars.
"It is not the global community, but there are several countries that have problems with us. Many countries, including neighboring countries and countries in the region, interact with us. Some of the western countries that had a war in Afghanistan and were defeated naturally still have some of their problems, but Afghanistan wants the hostile positions to change and interact with Afghanistan.
But experts believe that the international community and the Islamic Emirate should abandon the politics of confrontation and solve the issues related to Afghanistan through diplomatic means. According to them, considering the current situation in the country, it is necessary for the Islamic Emirate to take a soft position in its policy with the international community in accordance with the national interests and Islamic values.
This is despite the fact that in the last two and a half years, no countries have agreed to recognize the Islamic Emirate, and the international community has also warned that it will not be recognized until the Islamic Emirate revises its strict policies. But the Islamic Emirate always emphasizes that it has all the conditions of a legitimate government, but the world has taken a hostile stance against the Islamic Emirate.
