IEA’s leader: The world is trying to destroy our unity and system
Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), says that the world is trying to make people see Sharia law in a negative light as they push democracy.
He said however that this will not impact the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA).
The leader of the Islamic Emirate, who was in Kandahar on Wednesday, addressed the special security forces via an audio recording, and said that negative propaganda against the government of the Islamic Emirate should be stopped.
“Someone protests our laws, some people protest in the clothes of science, and some people protest in other clothes, and they try to destroy the unity among you and destroy this system. If this system ends, it will only be possible on the basis of division and difference,” said IEA’s Supreme leader.
In this audio tape, the leader of the Islamic Emirate claimed that with his orders, he secured the rights of Afghan women, which he said had been denied to them in the past.
In this audio tape, the leader of the Islamic Emirate mentioned the right of women’s inheritance as one of the issues that have been dealt with under his administration.
He has also claimed that: “None of the previous governments of Afghanistan have ensured the rights of women like the Islamic Emirate has.”
Akhundzada noted the status of women under the rule of the Islamic Emirate and said: “These decrees have ensured women’s rights in all sectors.”
With the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) to power in August 2021, a series of restrictions have been imposed on women and girls in Afghanistan, including the exclusion of girls above the sixth grade from schools, closing the gates of universities to girls and women, banning women from working in Domestic and foreign non-governmental administrations, banning women from going to parks, public baths and stadiums, and compulsory hijab.
In his speech, the leader of the Islamic Emirate did not say anything about the reopening of schools above the sixth grade and universities to Afghan girls and women, but emphasized that criticism of the Islamic Emirate authorities should be stopped.
The international community has called the provision of human rights, especially the rights of women and girls, as one of the preconditions for recognizing the government of the Islamic Emirate.
Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has emphasized the continuation of humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, stating that the ongoing provision of such aid plays an important role in ensuring regional security.
Speaking at the international conference “Peace and Trust” in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, Tokayev described addressing complex humanitarian challenges and the reconstruction of Afghanistan as a necessity.
“To ensure regional security, we consider it essential to continue providing assistance to Afghanistan, including by strengthening international efforts to address complex humanitarian issues and the reconstruction of this country. Kazakhstan remains committed to supporting the people of Afghanistan through humanitarian aid, educational projects, trade development, and food security initiatives,” he said.
Meanwhile, experts believe that sustainable improvement of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan requires broad cooperation from the international community and support for the country’s economic development.
“Investment can be defined as one of the fundamental drivers of the economic cycle, and whenever Afghan traders do not take their money out of the country and instead invest domestically, it naturally leads to greater growth and dynamism in Afghanistan’s economy,” said Abdul Zahoor Modabber, an economic analyst.
As the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan continues, reports by international relief organizations indicate that millions of citizens of the country are in urgent need of food, health, and livelihood assistance.
The reduction in funding for aid organizations, the impacts of climate change, and the return of migrants have increased concerns about a further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the country.
The Islamic Emirate has announced that it will not participate in the upcoming meeting of special envoys of regional countries on Afghanistan, scheduled to be held in Tehran, despite having received an invitation.
In a statement, Zia Ahmad Takal, Head of Information and Public Relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the Islamic Emirate has maintained continuous and active engagement with all regional countries through various organizations, regional formats, and bilateral mechanisms, achieving notable progress in promoting mutual understanding and regional cooperation.
The statement added that Afghanistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes regional cooperation should be advanced by strengthening existing mechanisms and formats within the region.
Tehran is set to host the meeting next week, with special envoys from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, China, and Russia expected to attend.
Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani, Minister of Interior of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, said during a visit to Khost province on Friday that any government which rules through fear cannot be considered a true government.
“A government is one that is loved by its people, one that serves them with respect and compassion, and from whose behavior people learn ethics and sincerity,” he said.
Haqqani also stressed that Afghans who opposed the Islamic Emirate in the past should be tolerated and treated in a way that helps eliminate hostility and animosity, paving the way for national cohesion.
