Signs ‘positive’ that int’l community will recognize Islamic Emirate: Mujahid

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, said Saturday that there are signs that the international community will recognize the Islamic Emirate government soon.

Addressing a gathering in Paktia province, Mujahid stated: “Efforts [are] underway…signals are positive, InshAllah, the Islamic Emirate will be recognized at the international level. What responsibilities they want; first countrywide security which is maintained. [Second] the world fears that Afghanistan will become a threat against them – in this regard the Islamic Emirate has a clear policy and we have assured them [this will not happen].”

Mujahid, meanwhile, told the people that work on incomplete development projects, including Paktia’s Machalgho Dam, will resume once the international community recognizes the Islamic Emirate government.

“Work on incomplete projects, such as Machalgho and other projects, will resume, and roads will be built,” he said.
