Kabul reiterates Afghan soil will not be used to threaten world

KABUL (TOLOnews): The Islamic Emirate has stated that countries around the world, due to their competing interests, are raising the issue of terrorism in Afghanistan.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said that the soil of Afghanistan, under the administration of the Islamic Emirate, is not allowed to be used by any foreign group against other countries.

Previously, some media had published articles and reports expressing concern about Afghanistan becoming a safe haven for terrorists again.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate said, “Some countries have their competitions with others and want to use such cases to advance their own competitions, which is not correct. Afghanistan is safe and stable and poses no threat to any country.”

However, some political analysts said that the Islamic Emirate must take serious action to address concerns about the use of Afghan soil against other countries.

Mohammad Matin Mohammadkhail, a political analyst, told TOLOnews: “This is an intelligence matter, not an issue for which people have risen to overthrow the system. All attacks, whether in Kandahar, Moscow, Iran, or Tajikistan, have an intelligence game behind them in the region and beyond.”

Najib Rahman Shamal, another analyst, said, “Fighting against this evil phenomenon and enemy of humanity requires collective and intelligent actions by countries, both from an intelligence and military perspective, which must be undertaken in cooperation with the interim government of Afghanistan, if their hideouts exist in Afghanistan, Pakistan, or any other country.”

This comes after a deadly attack on a concert hall in Russia, for which Daesh claimed responsibility, and the growing concerns about the presence of terrorist groups in the region, prompting the US Department of State to call for the commitment of the Islamic Emirate to fight against terrorism.
