UN Report on Presence of Foreign Fighters in Afghanistan ‘Unfounded’: Taliban
The Taliban’s ministry of foreign affairs said that the UN report claiming 'existence and operation of foreign groups' in the country is 'unfounded.'
"The fact remains that since the return to power of the Islamic Emirate, the world and the region have been prevented from facing any harm from Afghanistan, and the Afghan Government has consistently worked for the last nine months to build an environment of trust with the regional and world countries," a statement by the ministry read.
It said Kabul "again reaffirms its commitments and reassures all that none shall be allowed to use the territory of Afghanistan against others."
The ministry further sought “abstinence from seeking unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources” and urged that the present Afghan government be given its “legitimate right to directly present factual information to the UNSC and other countries through its permanent representative at the UN.”
The report by the UN Security Council's Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team claimed the presence of the Al Qaeda and Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terror groups in Afghanistan, according to TOLO News.
