Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has extended a warning to its citizens against travel to Afghanistan due to security reasons.

The Ministry said there were ongoing threats of terrorism across Afghanistan including in Kabul and asked its citizens to not travel to Afghanistan.

“There's an ongoing and very high threat of terrorist attacks throughout Afghanistan, including in Kabul. Terrorists continue to target foreigners, NGOs and humanitarian operations. Foreign nationals, including Australians, also face a serious threat of kidnapping or detention. There are no Australian officials in Afghanistan, and our ability to provide consular and passport assistance to Australians in Afghanistan is severely limited,” reads the notice.

The Islamic Emirate said Afghanistan is secure and that there is no threat for any foreigner in the country.

“No one is in danger in Afghanistan. Travel warnings by countries are incorrect, we see that people are constantly traveling to Afghanistan and no one has been threatened, particularly foreigners who are coming legally,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate.

Meanwhile, military analysts suggested that the caretaker Afghan government should strive to ensure security all over Afghanistan to address the concerns of foreigners.

“The countries have to share their proof of threats and danger with the Islamic Emirate so that the fundamental problems could be dealt with,” said Muhammad Matin Muhammad Khail, a military analyst.

“This is the responsibility of the Islamic Emirate to protect foreigners, diplomats and embassies in the country,” said Sadiq Shinwarai, a military analyst.

Beside Australia, Germany, Russia and UK are other countries which have warned their citizens against travel to Afghanistan.

Earlier, the Russian special envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, had warned Russian citizens not to travel to Afghanistan due to dire security situation in the country.
