The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid once again denied the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and says that some countries are spreading false intelligence information about Afghanistan in order to cast doubt over the progress being made in the country.
Speaking at an event in Kandahar, Mujahid said Afghanistan has experienced the bitter taste of war for four decades and that he does not want the country to suffer another civil war.
Why are there discussions in meetings that Afghanistan is a threat? And that Afghanistan causes problems for countries? There are problems in Afghanistan, why is this fear created? Mujahid asked.
I believe that some intelligence circles who do not want progress in Afghanistan, who do not want Afghanistan to be peaceful, are not tolerant of the current situation in Afghanistan; those intelligence circles indirectly create fear among some countries, he said.
He also responded to widespread criticism of restrictions against women and girls and said that women currently work in several Afghan government institutions, such as the ministry of interior, national statistics and information authority, airports, and the ministry of industry and commerce.
He stated that in other sectors, jobs for women have been suspended but only until suitable environments can be provided.
