KABUL, 02 March 2022, (TON): Facing domestic and international reactions to the recent travel restrictions announced by the Islamic Emirate, Zabihullah Mujahid said “Afghans who have legal documents and invitations can travel abroad and return to the country without any problem.”
He tweeted “our compatriots who have legal documents and invitations can travel outside the country and can return to the country confidently.”
At a press conference Mujahid said that following reports of the challenges of evacuated refugees in Qatar and UAE camps, the Islamic Emirate decided to prevent people from travelling abroad, unless they have “valid reasons.”
Mujahid’s remarks sparked reactions inside and outside the country. The UK, US as well as some international organizations said the restrictions are unacceptable.
UK Chargé d’Affaires to Afghanistan, Hugo Shorter, said the Islamic Emirate’s actions would “undermine their commitments to the international community and the trust of Afghans.”
