UN gatherings should focus on realities in Afghanistan

Discussions on issues relating to a certain nation or a country, requires participation of the related representative. This is the representative of a country who only knows what should be discussed and what should be shared with the members of a conference and a decision-making gathering.

Considering the complicated situation in Afghanistan, there is a need for a real representative to share the achievements and position of the government with the members of any gathering discussing the country’s issues. But this is the failure of the organizers who are yet to invite Afghanistan to send its representative to the consultating meeting arguing on Afghanistan issue.

Afghanistan, over the past two years, since the resumption of power by the Islamic Emirate, made great achievements, not only in the field of security, but also, in the field of economic development, including controlling the prices of edible and non-edible items as well as foreign currencies value against Afghani.

So, many meetings were held discussing issues relating to Afghanistan, but remained unfruitful, as there was no one to represent the Islamic Emirate and share its achievements made over the past two years which could be incomparable with the last twenty years of the former governments.

What is perplexing for any Afghan is that why some certain countries are still ignoring the wide achievements of Afghanistan under the Islamic system. Why they are still going blind eyes from the countrywide security, which, the former regimes failed to ensure during years of their tenures in Afghanistan. Why they are ignoring the reality that in the past, there were only looting public properties, usurping state lands, murdering under personal dispute and committing other crimes by the previous warlords and former governments corrupt officials.

Now, which the United Nations Security Council is expected to be held next week, Afghanistan, under the current interim government should be discussed positively and the related issues should be focused honestly and based on realities.

This is a clear fact that some malicious groups are working hard to disturb relation between the Islamic Emirate and other world countries. But this should be noted that such groups are not sharing the real pictures of Afghanistan.

They are only working for their own interest and to motivate the people against the Islamic system. Recently, Roza Otunbayeva, head of UNAMA, met with Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting foreign minister, ahead of next week’s UN Security Council briefing on Afghanistan saying UN mission in Afghanistan remains committed to constructive engagement and ensuring that the voices of all Afghans are heard but, the existence of the Islamic Emirate should be recognized as a reality in Afghanistan and the next-week UNSC meeting should strongly focus on the two years’ achievements of the current system.

Also, all UN gatherings discussing Afghanistan issues, should have real representatives from the Islamic Emirate as the past similar meetings’ failure to do anything for the war and poverty affected Afghans, proved that no future meeting will give positive outcome unless Afghanistan has it’s own authorized official to represent
