New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: “Ministry of Foreign Affairs: On the Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) Reserves”
Posted on
IEA-MoFA deems recent decision by the US to transfer a part ($3.5 billion) of the reserves of DAB to Switzerland & use it for targeted disbursement without any input by Afghanistan as unacceptable & a violation of international norms.
IEA, as an accountable gov. to its people, expresses its explicit opposition to the specific iteration of this mechanism.
DAB reserves, like those of other states, are used for currency stabilization, strengthening financial systems & facilitating international transactions.
These reserves can never be used for any disbursement purposes. Disbursing these reserves for other purposes without the express agreement of the Afghan people is a negative step against Afghan economic stability taken by the United States.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would like to clarify that during bilateral talks with the United States, the independence and professionalism of the Central Bank, and openness to third party monitoring of AML/CFT regime was proven both in words and deeds.
US has taken this step without finalizing negotiations or reaching an agreement with us, showing ill-faith to undermine economic stability & well-being of the Afghans. Despite commitments to & compliance with international financial practices by the Central Bank of Afghanistan,
a decision has been made to forcibly transfer the wealth of the Afghan people to another country. We therefore call on all individuals & sides to condemn this illegal & oppressive action, & support the Afghan people on this issue.
Through this statement, we would like to present our objection to the countries and institutions involved in this issue and we will continue to monitor the situation through diplomatic channels.
The principle causes of the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan are the twenty-year American war, endemic corruption by the US-backed administration, and, following the change in government, the imposition of sanctions against Afghanistan & its banking sector, which has prevented investors benefitting from newly created economic opportunities.
If the reserves are disbursed without taking into consideration legitimate demands of the Afghans, the Islamic Emirate will be forced to impose fines against, and ban activities of, all individuals, institutions and companies that facilitate this illegal venture & seek to misuse DAB reserves for humanitarian & other purposes.
We again urge US to unfreeze reserves and lift restrictions on financial systems of the Afghan people so that they may have access to banking systems & stabilize their economy.

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ for the Washington Institute: “Looking for Legitimacy: Taliban Diplomacy Since the Fall of Kabul”
Posted on
When the Taliban first ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognized its “Islamic Emirate.” Yet while no country has officially recognized the new government established after the group recaptured Kabul one year ago, the Taliban is far less isolated today than it was during its first iteration. In March, for example, Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called for international recognition of the Islamic Emirate, while his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov argued that it should be granted a seat at the United Nations. Just how extensive is this diplomatic momentum? And how might it be affected by the July 31 targeted killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was reportedly being sheltered in Kabul by Taliban interior minister Sirajuddin Haqqani?

The fact that America invaded our territory and violated all international principles, we strongly condemn the action once again.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Regarding the Drone Attack in Kabul City”
Posted on
On August 1, 2022, an air strike was carried out on a residential house in the Shirpur area of Kabul city.
At the outset, the nature of the incident was not revealed.
The security and intelligence agencies of the Islamic Emirate investigated the incident and found in their preliminary investigations that the attack was carried out by American drones.
IEA strongly condemns this attack on any cause and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the Doha Agreement.
Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the USA, Afghanistan and the region.
Repeating such actions will damage the existing opportunities.
