The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has dismissed recent concerns raised by some members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) regarding the alleged presence of rogue foreign groups in the country, calling such claims unfounded and counterproductive.

Mawlavi Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, emphasized in a statement that there is no evidence to support the allegations made by certain countries. He urged international actors to shift their focus from speculation to constructive engagement, pointing to the improved security situation across Afghanistan.

“Instead of making baseless claims, let us see the security and progress that exists in Afghanistan as a good opportunity, support it, and cooperate with it,” Mujahid said, underscoring that solidarity and cooperation are key to regional stability.

The remarks come amid heightened international scrutiny of Afghanistan’s security and governance landscape since the Taliban’s return to power in 2021. While some governments continue to voice concerns over alleged militant activity and human rights conditions, the Islamic Emirate maintains that it has consolidated national security and seeks international recognition and cooperation.

Kabul officials insist that Afghanistan is no longer a threat to other nations and should be viewed as a partner in regional stability, rather than as a source of instability. (ILKHA)
