Shaheen: UN Using Afghanistan’s Seat to Pressure Kabul

Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate's Qatar-based Political Office, said the UN acted without neutrality in determining the seat of Afghanistan.

In an interview with RTA, Shaheen said that the UN uses Afghanistan’s seat in the organization as pressure on the Islamic Emirate, urging the organization to handover the seat to the current Afghan government.

“This [UN] is a big organization and they always talk about law and legality and human rights and they claim to be neutral, but they are not neutral in this position,” he noted.

He said the current Afghan government needs to take into account the legitimate demands of the people of Afghanistan.

"We should also take into account the wishes of the people and pay attention to those issues, not because we accept the wishes of foreigners definitively, but for the sake of the people,” Suhail Shaheen further noted.

The head of the Islamic Emirate's Qatar-based Political Office added that the meetings that have been held in connection with Afghanistan in the past two years without the presence of a representative of the Islamic Emirate, have not had any results for the country and will not have any results in the future either.

Shaheen called the existence of the Islamic Emirate's Qatar-based Political Office the political gateway of the Islamic Emirate to the world, saying that thirteen embassies of foreign countries for Afghanistan operate from Qatar.

"In addition to the Qatar political office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to become more active so that Afghanistan's diplomatic relations and foreign policy become better than this,” said Najibullah Jami, a political analyst.

"The office can also be a good mediator because they can effectively solve the issue of Afghanistan, which is an economic and political crisis and it has not been recognized yet,” said Javid Momand, a university lecturer.

Suhail Shaheen continued to criticize the United States for its failure to live up to its promises, saying that not a single one of its agreements with the Islamic Emirate of Doha has been met.

He emphasized that world perceptions of the current Afghan government have changed over the past two years, and that there are hopes for the Islamic Emirate to be recognized.
