Islamic Emirate Again Denies Presence of Terrorist Groups

The Deputy Spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate has once again maintained the absence of terrorist groups on Afghan soil, stating that other countries should not be concerned about this matter.
Hamdullah Fitrat pledged that Afghanistan’s territory is secure and will not be used against any country.
Fitrat said: “We once again declare that the entire geography of Afghanistan is under the full control of the Islamic Emirate’s forces, and no one will be allowed to use Afghan soil to threaten other countries.”
Earlier, Asif Ali Durrani, Pakistan’s Special Representative for Afghanistan Affairs, claimed that Islamabad is concerned about increasing security threats from Afghanistan.
Regarding this, Pakistan’s Special Representative for Afghanistan said: “I think this situation could return Afghanistan to the pre-September 11 conditions and, in fact, create another September 11.”
Some political analysts also stress resolving the existing challenges through diplomatic means.
“These statements have been made in response to the $2.5 billion investment from Uzbekistan to show the world that Afghanistan is not calm. Pakistan sees itself in danger and is fueling these issues,” Mohammad Mateen Mohammakhail, a military affairs analyst, told TOLOnews.
This comes as Pakistan has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of harboring terrorist groups, including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an accusation the Islamic Emirate has denied.
