Afghanistan: Kabul Asks UNSC to Lift Sanctions on Officials

KABUL, 05 September 2022, (TON): Following the end of the travel exemption for some officials of the Islamic Emirate, Kabul is once again asking that the United Nations Security Council lift the sanctions imposed on the current government officials.

The Islamic Emirate's deputy spokesman, Bilal Karimi, warned that the sanctions will put Kabul further apart from the international community, and that this distance will have unfavorable effects.

Karimi said "it is good that they should come together and bring the Islamic Emirate to the international level as a responsible and prominent system in the world. There should be an emphasis on adopting diplomatic means.”

Since the travel exemption expired, Kabul officials have not visited any countries in the past two weeks, and it is unclear when the UN Security Council will make a decision on this issue.
