UN on a smear campaign against Afghanistan: IEA

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), in response to the recent report of the UN’s Security Council, says that a regular program of accusations is being carried out by the United Nations.

The United Nations Security Council recently said in a report that there are Al-Qaeda cells in Afghanistan or that some groups are active under the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said in a statement that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly rejects these false accusations.

The announcement quoted Zabihullah Mujahid as saying: “Unfortunately, a systematic program of accusing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been started from the United Nations address, which they always propagate.”

Mujahid added that this is a misuse of the address of the United Nations, which, unfortunately, the member countries of this organization allow.

“We know that a number of member countries of the Security Council have faced defeat in Afghanistan, they naturally express their grudge and spread such rumors, but those member countries that have good relations with Afghanistan should not let the reputation of this international institution be damaged and its decisions revolve around the political goals of a few countries,” said Mujahid.

Mujahid emphasized that: “There is no one related to al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, nor does the Islamic Emirate allow anyone to use Afghan soil” against another country.

According to Mujahid, unfortunately, the reports of the Security Council originate from sources who stood by the occupation for twenty years and are sensitive to Afghanistan’s freedom, population and security.

Mujahid pointed out that it is expected that the United Nations Security Council should not allow its reports to be sacrificed for the purposes of political and economic profiteers and its dignity and credibility in Afghanistan will be questioned.

He also said that the main cause of the crisis twenty years ago was based on such baseless information.

This comes after the United Nations Security Council Sanctions Analysis and Monitoring Team said that relations between the Islamic Emirate and Al-Qaeda are still close and that this network has established eight new training camps in Afghanistan.

The United Nations Security Council Sanctions Analysis and Monitoring Team published its new report on Wednesday, and said that four al-Qaeda camps were located in Parwan, Ghazni, Laghman and Uruzgan provinces, and that this network has also created a weapons cache in Panjshir province.
