In a strongly worded response to the recent report by the monitoring and analysis team of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the situation in Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate issued a statement on Sunday, dismissing the findings as biased and detached from reality.

The Islamic Emirate's spokesperson, Zabiullah Mujahid, expressed the group's dissatisfaction with the report, stating: “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers the continuation of UN Security Council sanctions and such reports as full of prejudice and in conflict with the principles of independence and non-interference, and calls for an end to it.”

Mujahid went on to assert that the accusations made in the report were baseless and reflected an obvious hostility towards the people of Afghanistan, accusing the report of perpetuating the baseless propaganda of the past two decades. He reiterated the Islamic Emirate's commitment to its promises and reassured neighboring, regional, and global countries that Afghanistan posed no threat to them.

The report in question, released by the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team on Saturday, criticized the Islamic Emirate for adopting "exclusionary" policies reminiscent of the late 1990s. The annual report raised concerns about the group's approach, highlighting its departure from inclusivity.

The rejection of the UNSC report by the Islamic Emirate and the subsequent calls for impartial mediation highlight the ongoing tensions and challenges in Afghanistan as the country navigates its political landscape under the new leadership. The differing viewpoints underscore the complexity of the situation and the pressing need for constructive dialogue to ensure stability and progress in the region. (ILKHA)
