New release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Concerning the Negotiation Team Announced in Kabul”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

All our compatriots and the world is aware that the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly shown its willingness to hold intra-Afghan negotiations with all influential Afghan sides in line with the agreement however the other sides have so far failed in putting together an effective, pro-peace and inclusive team.

Now as the Kabul administration has announced a team, we would like to make the following points:

1 – The policy of the Islamic Emirate from the very beginning has been that the Kabul administration may participate in intra-Afghan negotiations as a part of other Afghan sides.

But as the team is announced by the Kabul administration it thus violates our principled policy and the agreement concluded with America.

2 – In order to reach true and lasting peace, the aforementioned team must be agreed upon by all effective Afghan sides so that it can represent all sides however majority of other sides have rejected the current announced team.

Considering the mentioned points, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would once again like to clarify its stance that impediments must not be created for intra-Afghan negotiations nor must a single group try to monopolize the issue of an entire country.

We shall only sit for talks with a negotiation team that conforms with our agreements and is constituted in accordance with the laid out principles, Allah willing.

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

As the residents of the Islamic Republic of Iran have suffered losses due to the spread of corona virus and with it the problems of Afghan refugees have also increased, the Islamic Emirate would like to extend its sincere condolences to the leader and the people of Iran.

The difficulties faced by the Islamic Republic of Iran at this sensitive time are noteworthy however Islamic brotherhood and sympathy is also a key pillar in Islam, hence we request the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran to not treat the Afghan refugees any different than the Iranian people, to not forcefully expel them from the country, to give them proper medical attention and to deal with them in the framework of Islamic brotherhood.

The Islamic Emirate would also like to share its deep concerns with the officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran concerning some reports about the maltreatment of Iran based Afghan refugees.

We also call upon Afghan refugees in Iran to strictly follow the rules and guidelines issued by the said country in combating the spread corona virus.
