Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, has rejected the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team’s report concerning the presence of Al-Qaeda, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and other groups in Afghanistan.

Mujahid told TOLOnews that no foreign groups are present in the country and the threat posed by the Daesh group is minimal. 

According to Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate, based on its strategy, does not permit any individual or group to use Afghan territory for activities against other countries.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate said: “This part of the United Nations report, suggesting that Daesh is a threat in Afghanistan or mentioning other groups, is not correct. First, the threat of Daesh has significantly diminished due to precise operations, and everyone is aware of this. Furthermore, no foreign groups exist in Afghanistan.”

Previously, the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team claimed that some terrorist organizations are active in Afghanistan. The report also alleged that these organizations and groups have personnel and shelters in Afghanistan.

Sayed Qaribullah Sadat, a political analyst, said: “This report is political and intelligence-based; it is not a report intended to be sincere, benefit Afghanistan, bring positive changes, or make the Afghan people happy. These are the kinds of reports that create scenarios for a dark future.”

Yusuf Amin Zazi, another political analyst, stated: “Global and regional competitions have led to the creation of terrorism. Russia funds one group, the USA another, and Arabs, Pakistan, and Iran fund other groups.”

The United Nations Sanctions Monitoring Team also stated that 61 senior officials of the interim government of Afghanistan are on the global sanctions list, of which 35 are members of the cabinet and leadership of the Islamic Emirate.
