Islamic Emirate denies UN report on armed groups in Afghanistan

In a statement, Mujahid asserted that there are no foreign groups currently operating within Afghanistan, and downplayed the threat posed by Daesh (ISIS), citing significant reductions in their presence due to effective operations.

"The suggestion in the UN report regarding the threat of Daesh in Afghanistan or the presence of other groups is incorrect," Mujahid declared. "Daesh's threat has been greatly diminished through our precise operations, and there are no foreign groups present in Afghanistan."

The United Nations report had previously claimed the active presence of armed organizations in Afghanistan, alleging that these groups maintain personnel and shelters within the country.

Furthermore, the report noted that 61 senior officials of the interim government of Afghanistan, including 35 members of the cabinet and leadership of the Islamic Emirate, are currently included on the global sanctions list, as reported by ILKHA.

The spokesperson's remarks underscore ongoing tensions between the Islamic Emirate and international bodies regarding security and governance in Afghanistan following the Islamic Emirate's assumption of power. (ILKHA)
