Afghanistan: MoFA Denies UN Report Alleging Foreign Groups in Country

KABUL, 31 May 2022, (TON): The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement rejecting a report by the UN Security Council alleging that Al-Qaida and the Islamic Emirate have a close relationship and that foreign groups are in Afghanistan.

The statement said “the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan again reaffirms its commitments and reassures all that none shall be allowed to use the territory of Afghanistan against others.”

The UN Security Council Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team in the report said Al-Qaida has a “safe haven under the Taliban and increased freedom of action."

The UN report said “the relationship between the Taliban and Al-Qaida remains close, with the latter celebrating the former’s success and renewing its pledge of allegiance to Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada.”
